More than ever before, companies need to align their financial processes and organisation with the requirements of the future, as the finance department is playing an increasingly important role in contributing value to the overall corporate strategy.

In line with lean finance principles, processes should be streamlined and efficient, delivering high-quality results at ever lower cost.

Away from looking at the past, towards becoming a reliable forward thinker

Digitalisation opens up numerous opportunities for the finance function to achieve this goal. In addition, the finance department will need to be able to intelligently link information and data in order to support overall business decisions. This leads to a change in role – away from looking at the past and towards becoming a reliable forward thinker.

Existing processes and reporting structures are often no longer sufficient to manage and operationalise the requirements of non-financial reporting (ESG) in a targeted manner and therefore require adjustments to the organisational structure, governance and cross-functional processes.

Our range of services

Closing Excellence

Through in-depth analysis and the use of proven tools (e.g. Reporting Pilot, Closing Pilot, electronic accounting manual), we at KPMG can efficiently and effectively prepare, plan, manage and restructure financial statements and company reports. With the help of accounting performance indicators, we can analyse your finance function and provide important insights into any need for adjustment or optimisation.
Finance Process Excellence

We provide support in optimising transactional processes in accounting (e.g. P2P, O2C, A2D) with regard to efficiency gains and cost reduction potential through harmonisation and automation of financial processes. We use process mining, robotic solutions and BPMN/DMN to increase efficiency in workflows.
Finance Organization & Governance

Our teams of experts analyse your existing finance function, develop a target vision for the future and deliver the necessary measures for implementation. Due to the changing requirements of the finance function, a company-specific governance model, including location and gap analysis, is becoming indispensable.
ESG Target Operating Model
The ESG Target Operation Model provides a framework to better support the overall strategy and business model and defines the future direction of the organisation. We can help you design and implement such a model.
Digitalisation in accounting

We provide support in the development of digitalisation strategies in accounting and their concrete implementation. This includes, among other things, the use of intelligent automation solutions, particularly in transactional accounting processes, or the use of cognitive solutions (e.g. in connection with IFRS 16), with the aim of making accounting more efficient and future-proof.
Cash-oriented corporate management

Our cross-functional experts create the necessary transparency for you in the area of liquidity and working capital management. We enable you to have efficient and scalable processes at your disposal, the results and costs of which you can consciously control.
