Finance Transformation Council

Our expertise in financial transformation
The role and functions of the CFO have undergone profound transformation over the last ten years.
It’s no longer just a matter of managing the key function of finance.
It is also, and above all, about being a true ” business partner ” who plays an active role in shaping the company’s strategy, bringing new and innovative added value, anticipating regulatory changes, and preparing for major technological changes.
This evolution of the profession impacts every aspect of the organization, and no longer limits the CFO to keeping the company’s figures in order.
To make this transition a success, a transformation of the finance function is essential.
It encompasses all corporate functions, from skills management for administrative and financial teams, to automation, accounting and financial procedures, and information systems.
This is not an evolution, but a revolution that is changing the way we conceive and manage the Finance Function within companies.
