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, and assume a broader set of strategic responsibilities within the enterprise.
At ACS, we help clients transform their finance function to be a more effective partner to the business by providing change management consulting, creating insights to support strategic decisions, mitigate risk, and driving efficiency through technology innovation, process and reporting, and optimized controllership activities and managed services..
The role and expectations of the finance function are ever-evolving through constant change and disruptive trends. In a rapidly changing marketplace, the finance function has a key role to play in delivering efficiency, insight and value to the business.
ACS’s Finance Transformation practice supports the full agenda of the CFO. We help strengthen the performance of the finance function by focusing on the questions that global finance leaders tell us are their priority:

World events along with technology advances are combining to give the finance function its time to shine. As C-suite internal needs and external expectations skyrocket, organizations must turn to new thinking regarding the finance function to raise its ambition for the future or risk having it serve as a compliance exercise.
