Financial Management (FM) Consultants

Today the Finance Function of an enterprise is faced with many challenges like growing requirements (reporting, data quality, speed) from shareholders and regulators or difficult market conditions. As a consequence CFO’s are required to address topics like process optimization of the Finance Function (centralization, harmonization, consolidation of core accounting functions), cost management (planning/ budgeting and forecasting, efficiency, cost reductions) and timely preparation of the right finance information for steering the company.

Within Lodestone’s Financial Management Community we are supporting the CFO on his agenda. We are delivering innovative Financial Management solutions with first-rate customer service. We combine our in-depth, most up-to-date expertise with profound functional and industry knowledge, utilising appropriate implementation methodologies and best practices.

Our key services are:

• Strategic Cost and Value Management
• Enterprise Performance Management (Dashboard, company steering)
• Straight through Reporting and Finance Consolidation processes
• Financial and Cost Management
• Process optimization enabled by SAP Financials
• Design, build and rollout of customer and industry specific SAP Templates
• Design and implementation of Shared Services

Recent projects for the FM Community have included:

• A global initiative to transform the Finance function of one of the world's leading companies in its industry, in terms of business requirements, processes and IT-systems. The objective of the Program was to build a (content- and IT-) framework to enhance reporting/accounting and decision making. Lodestone supported the global program and roll-out management, the definition and implementation of best-practice finance processes, the template development based on SAP ECC including FI/CO, FAM and BW as well as the roll-out to various countries worldwide.
• One of the world's leading companies in its industry established a Shared Service Centre to provide financial accounting, regulatory and corporate reporting, and management accounting support services for its companies across Eastern Europe. The objective of the Shared Service Centre setup was improved efficiency, effectiveness and harmonisation of its finance and accounting operations. Lodestone was the delivery partner for the definition and implementation of the Shared Service Centre. Lodestone designed and implemented an operating model, new processes, organisation and systems (SAP and document and workflow management systems) for the Shared Service Centre.

To join Lodestone’s FM team the ideal candidate will have:

• Strong experience in at least one of our key service areas mentioned above
