The digital corporate management of the future requires the integration of controlling knowledge with data analytics and business intelligence expertise. For us, digital finance is the strategic use of digitalization in the company's finance functions. Many market players have now recognized how important this transformation to a digital company is. What is often still missing are concrete measures and strategies for realigning the finance function.
Digital finance for the CFO
Up to now, the focus of digitalization has been on business areas at the interface to the customer. Finance initially received less attention. However, business intelligence offers every company solutions to make the best possible use of internal and external information.
Particularly in the areas of management information systems, enterprise performance management, cross-functional analytics and advanced analytics & big data, great potential has emerged in recent years, which is now rapidly establishing itself on the market. The advancing digitalization therefore requires a rapid realignment of the finance department in order to take advantage of the corresponding opportunities. The problem: an implementation plan is rarely available.
Our range of services
Business Intelligence Consulting
We provide reliable consultants for the CFO or head of controlling. We provide you with comprehensive advice from the conception to the implementation of suitable business intelligence and data management application systems. First of all, we work with the CFO and the finance department to develop your BI strategy and BI architecture, aligned with the company's objectives, in order to establish a BI service for content, process, technology and organisation. We design and realise data warehouse solutions for you, including operational data management (ETL tools). Our goal: to improve performance management (planning, budgeting, forecasting, management reporting) as well as cost and profit accounting - from conception to technical realisation.
Successfully managing the finance department
We support our clients with improvements in planning, budgeting, forecasting and internal reporting of key information for management (including corresponding ERP-based controlling structures). Our services include integrated legal and management reporting, the design and implementation of reporting factories, the optimisation of planning processes and planning quality as well as the acceleration of consolidation processes for actual and planned data. In addition, we also develop suitable BI strategies, BI and data warehousing architecture and reporting applications for operational processes such as sales, purchasing, production, etc., data governance and master data management.
Data is the fuel for change
Automated systems in particular are only as good as the data they analyse. For us, digital finance is therefore also data quality management and data governance with the necessary KPI harmonisation, the effects in master data management and for data cleansing. The greatest operational benefits can often be achieved with operational BI solutions for processes in sales, purchasing, taxes, production and marketing, including solutions such as transfer price monitoring, end-to-end profitability calculations, working capital optimisation and cash flow analyses.
Conception and introduction of self-service BI applications
Solutions for automatic, rule-based monitoring of operational, critical and margin-relevant processes such as cash audits; development and introduction of software-based services such as the Cash Flow Manager.
