Financial Strategy

In 2008, Capgemini launched Finance Vision 2020 , a joint consulting and client initiative that reviewed key environmental, security, demographic and competitive challenges facing businesses.

Successfully addressing these emerging issues requires businesses to re-focus their finance function on value creation and measurement.

Proven Financial Strategy Expertise

Capgemini draws on decades of experience in consulting, technology and shared services/business process outsourcing (BPO).

Our Finance Transformation practice is made up of finance consulting experts and experienced industry professionals. We deploy methods and tools from our consulting operations and build on insights from our technology and BPO operations to ensure that your finance transformation delivers practical, sustainable results.

We have worked with clients in all stages of the finance strategy cycle from all sectors.

A Solid Foundation for Finance Transformation

Capgemini’s comprehensive solutions help your CFO and finance function establish and execute the finance agenda with the following building blocks:

  • Finance function strategy and finance operating model: The finance strategy supports business objectives, while the operating model ensures they are met at minimum cost. Organizations need to assess functional skills, benchmark existing performance levels and determine whether tactical outsourcing or full-scale BPO is appropriate
  • Finance system strategy: We work with you to select, design and optimize your finance system, introducing new technology and initiating business changes to balance efficiency, control and costs
  • Core finance processes: We help you align your finance processes with the organization’s overall model, review internal controls and assess regulatory requirements for industry-specific reporting
  • Finance People strategy: Developing and retaining finance staff is an essential but frequently overlooked component in delivering the finance vision. We work with you to assess and develop finance capability
