Finance + Controlling

The CFO is made Chief Performance Officer, and becomes even more involved than at present in the management of company processes.

Our clients operate in an environment of transformation, transactions and integration driven by projects and measures. Our aim and objective is to strike a balance between standardisation, automation and digitisation of structures, processes and systems and the constant adaptation of these to the quickening pace of change in the market environment.
Some positions in the financial area, for example, will be eliminated or relocated as a result of increasing use of technologies such as robotics, process automation or outsourcing projects like transformations into internal and external SSCs. New positions in the field of finance with corresponding digital requirement profiles will also be created by this deployment of resources.

As a result, according to the 2019 survey of a Big4 company, 38 percent of CFOs are finding it “difficult” or “very difficult” to find the digital skills they need for their finance department. And this despite the fact that, in the CFOs’ opinion, these are attractive job offers. Many of our clients are confronting this situation with alternative employment models such as project-related use of freelance experts as contractors.
