      Reimagining finance for agility, insight and impact in an AI-enabled world

      In a rapidly changing marketplace, the finance function has a key role to play in delivering efficiency, insight and value to the business. The introduction of new technologies, increased volumes of data, regulatory changes and the need to deliver more for less, adds to the pressure on CFOs and finance directors. 

      Finance functions must pivot from transaction processing and reporting towards strategic business support to drive profitable growth, reduce costs, leverage AI and assume a broader set of strategic responsibilities within the enterprise.

      KPMG’s Finance Transformation practice supports the full agenda of the CFO, helping to strengthen the performance of the finance function by focusing on the key priorities of finance leaders.

      Frequently asked questions

      Finance Transformation is a strategic overhaul of financial systems, processes and operations to improve efficiency, decision-making and alignment with business goals. It’s essential for organisations looking to modernise finance, integrate AI, reduce costs and enable real-time insights through digital tools and automation.

      We help strengthen the performance of the finance function by focusing on the questions that global finance leaders tell us are their priority:

      • How does the finance operating model need to evolve to meet the future needs of the business?
      • How do we increase focus on value creation?
      • What AI capability can we leverage for our finance community and the broader business?
      • What skills and capabilities are required for the future, and how do we access them?
      • How do we turn data into actionable insights for performance management and capital allocation?
      • How do we improve on the transparency and integrity of data?
      • How do we leverage digital solutions and analytics to enable profitable growth?
      • How do we create a more cost-effective and resilient finance function?

      We implement cloud-based financial management and enterprise performance management tools, often leveraging platforms like Oracle, SAP, Workday and Microsoft. These are embedded with best practices, AI and other automation capabilities to accelerate transformation and reduce risk.

      Timelines vary based on scope and complexity, but most projects range from 3 to 9 months. We use preconfigured approaches and well-founded delivery frameworks to streamline implementation and deliver value quickly.
