Finance
Finance is the lifeblood of an organisation and stakeholders have high expectations of the functions performance. An effective finance function, which includes all aspects of finance, tax, treasury and, typically, risk management, makes a positive contribution to the achievement of the organisations strategic objectives and to its value creation goals. To be successful, finance must develop the capabilities that will allow it to fulfil its responsibilities to the organisation, meet stakeholder expectations and to service its key business partnerships.
The modern finance function is expected to fulfil four key roles within the organisation:
- Steward - providing control over the organisations assets, ensuring it meets its compliance obligations and directing the management of risk.
- Operator - delivering efficient finance processes to support the production of financial information and driving the cost effectiveness agenda across the organisation.
- Strategist - analysing organisational performance and interpreting financial information to support the planning and execution of strategic initiatives across the organisation.
- Catalyst - stimulating the wider organisation to execute the changes necessary to support the effective performance of the steward, operator and strategist role.
The challenge for the Finance Director (FD) is to create a finance function that has both the capabilities and the flexibility necessary to meet the desired levels of performance in these key areas. The nature of the demands that each of these roles places on the finance function is very different - one could say almost diametrically opposed. Each requires differing capabilities and behaviours, and, potentially, different organisational structures to effectively support each of these roles within a single organisation. For example, the nature of the individuals in the finance function who specialise in regulation and compliance activities will be very different to those who specialise in analysing organisational performance. The FD has the difficult task of bringing all of the different disciplines, people and processes together in a seamless finance function that cannot afford to leave any capability gaps.
At MSBP, we provide the best support to Finance Directors in both the private and public sectors on the complex financial and business challenges they face. We bring together an unrivalled set of services to support finance leaders to take these decisions and to support any resulting change or transformation in their finance capability.
