Short-term management systems for controlling revenues and costs are fundamental for the successful implementation of business and finance strategies. Management is facing increasing requirements for qualified information on costs and financial performance, and pressure for on-time delivery. This leads to the need for efficient reporting solutions and fast analysis and evaluation processes. We help you design and implement efficient and state-of-the-art cost accounting and financial reporting systems in the following areas:

• Status analysis
• Analysis for improving and aligning processes for budgeting and accounting
• Definition of performance indicators
• Design and implementation of planning, controlling and reporting systems

In this globalized and competitive world full of attentive investors and regulators, a business strategy must go hand in hand with a proper financing strategy. We help CFO’s and their management teams align financial priorities with business objectives, give advice on how to implement organizational structures and the right tools to back-up strategy, and also help control the business with key ratios to secure financial stability. For example:

• Alignment of finance with strategy and return
• Development of financial models and long-term scenarios
• Optimization of mix of financing
• Assistance in selecting a suitable partner for financing
• Investment decisions and valuations
• Assistance in implementing structures, processes, and tools for financial management and control

The creation of long-term values should be a key objective for public companies, as well as for family owned businesses.  Although it boils down to financial key indicators such as cost of capital, net present value, etc., value-based management covers the entire company. Therefore, a business can only work if all strategies, departments, and management systems are clearly focused on value. We can help you achieve sustainability by:

• Defining the cost of capital and the relevant performance drivers
• Implementing value analysis and driver trees
• Aligning all company strategies and control systems with value
• Initiating measures to manage and increase value
• Developing business plans and success scenarios that reflect the development of value
