We help you transform your finance and controlling in three future-proof steps.

Finance and controlling steer the company successfully into the future, even if the markets are dominated by dynamism and complexity.

Perhaps like many managers in finance and controlling, you are facing a number of hurdles to align your department or organization with future requirements.

  • There is a lack of time and human resources.
  • There is still a lot of catching up to do in terms of digitalization.
  • Where to start and how to prioritize, given the number of topics.
  • The necessary skills are not sufficiently available.
  • A clear roadmap for the target image still needs to be developed.

 

The CA controller akademie supports you in this transformation. Using a structured method, we help you to develop and implement a targeted CFO/controlling agenda. We use what you already have in place and support you with what is still missing. Your agenda starts with the mission statement for your division, then becomes more precise with the operating model and finally leads to the roadmap for implementation.

Finance & Controlling Operating Model

  • What needs doing and where?
    To derive the implementation strategy for your mission, we use the Finance & Controlling operating model, which consists of seven key areas. In a workshop, an analysis of each area is carried out and compared with the previously defined mission goals.
  • What needs doing and how?
    Priority is placed on the analysis findings and translating them into a roadmap with specific measures.

CFO/Controlling Roadmap

  • How to prioritize?
    We develop a roadmap based on the measures drafted in the workshop for the individual areas. The roadmap puts the various activities into an effective order while taking account of interdependencies and ongoing projects.
  • What people, what resources to deploy?
    You will only achieve your roadmap goals if you win over people for this transformation. To do this, you have to analyze financial resources, available employee capacities and the team’s willingness to embrace change and, based on competence deficits, define your qualification needs.
