Financial Management - Our Services

KPMG’s Financial Management team have the knowledge and experience to help you create a leading finance function, a short introduction to each of our service offerings are set out below.

Strategy and Governance of Finance
As business complexity continues to increase, CFOs and Financial Directors are adopting a highly proactive stance towards the direction of the organisation.  Yet, in many organisations, the finance function itself still plays a reactive role.  The fundamental question is:  how much more successful could the organisation be if finance were integral to strategy development rather than a furnisher of commentary on performance?

Efficient Finance Operations
Finance today is expected to manage costs, drive value and ensure compliance with equal importance and ability.  Organisations with efficient finance functions can cope more effectively with change and focus on delivering value to the business.  In managing costs many companies look at shared services and/or outsourcing to improve efficiency.  KPMG is able to manage the entire journey of these large and complex programme's from inception to implementation.

Improved Decision Support
The ability to generate consistently superior stakeholder returns and outcomes over time is the single best measure of management performance.  Finance functions need to identify, measure and monitor key business drivers including financial and non-financial characteristics.  Understanding of business value drivers and alignment to business goals is key to successful performance management.

Supporting M&A in Finance
In mergers and acquisitions and complex re-organisations in both the public and private sectors, the deal-making mindset is not entirely unemotional.  It’s about exploitation of synergies, new channels to market, economies of scale, creating a competitive advantage, global ambitions and the making of reputations.  The key question is: how to increase the chances of success?  the answer lies in a combination of four critical factors:  speed, scale, purpose and precision.

Driving Benefit from Regulation
Regulation is inevitably perceived as equating to greater cost and less flexibility.  In most industries today, regulation is a fact of life.  However, there could also be opportunities to exploit the regulatory reporting arrangements to drive change that generates value.

Finance Function Recovery
The failure of a finance department is something any organisation wants to avoid at all cost.  A damning external collapse could be catastrophic, damaging not only brands and reputations but also morale, trust and infrastructure.  When the unthinkable becomes reality, KPMG have the rapid response capability to step in as an independent advisor, discreetly picking up the pieces and, ultimately, can put the show back on the road.

Adding Value to Treasury
Balancing cash flow and providing visibility of group-wide financial information are just a few of the challenges the treasurer faces in order to enable better working capital management practices.  Treasury today must reduce costs and increase efficiency whilst maintaining the rigour of compliance.
