Accelerating growth for Coventry Building Society

Coventry Building Society’s outdated finance function was putting the organisation’s growth ambitions at risk. Here’s how they turned it around in less than 16 months.

Our focus was on ensuring the project was integrated and aligned at every stage of the transformation journey. Business users were involved from the outset in the entire vision including the design and build process. Using KPMG’s Powered accelerators, users were quickly able to see their new processes, controls and reports on the Workday platform, rather than waiting months to test them and confirm their value.


KPMG’s approach really gave our people confidence that they could meet their compliance requirements according to the timetable. Year End has gone from being a very stressful and laborious process to something very simple.
