Financial Management


Chief Financial Officers and their finance functions have visibility into every area of an organization.  Given their insight into valuable information that can support key decisions and even unlock transformations, it is no surprise that CFOs are assuming new strategic roles. We help CFOs ensure their strategic positioning by designing financial management structures that drive performance improvement, treat financial data as a valuable asset to provide timely and accurate information for decision making, utilize technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and embed systems of internal control that help the organization to get it right the “first time every time.”  We do this by providing the following services: 

  • Financial Management Policy Development

  • Financial  Management Framework Development (ICF, MCF, FMF)

  • Financial Process Design and Development

  • Financial Management Organizational and Operational Improvement

  • Grants & Contributions Frameworks and Processes

  • Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting and Reporting Improvement

  • Funding and Costing Analysis and Oversight

 

Governance, Risk & Oversight


Governance, risk and oversight are often considered to be “necessary evils” and sometimes even roadblocks in the achievement of business objectives. However, the most effective organizations harness the value that appropriately designed risk management, governance and oversight offer.  We enable our clients to become more effective across all areas of their business by proposing right-sized, efficient and optimally functioning risk, governance and oversight solutions that are consistently designed with the achievement of business objectives in mind. We do this by providing the following services:  

  • Enterprise Risk Management

  • Internal Audit and Evaluation

  • Independent Third-Party Project Reviews

  • Internal Controls Design, Implementation and Assessments

  • Organizational and Data Governance

  • Anti-Money Laundering

  • Privacy Assessments

  • Fraud Risk Assessment and Management

 

Strategy & Operations


Determining strategy and positioning operations to efficiently achieve the strategy is critical for all organizations in the pursuit of excellence.  Organizations continue to develop new programs or pursue new strategies without understanding the pragmatic links between vision, strategy, plans and efficient operational delivery – often just throwing technology at the problem. We help our clients achieve their vision by guiding them along the optimal path forward to develop a pragmatic strategy and plan, and improve their tools/technology, processes, organization, people and reporting. We do this by providing the following services: 

  • Environmental Scanning, Benchmarking & Strategic Assessment

  • Strategic Planning, Business & Operational Planning

  • Performance Measurement & Management

  • Process Improvement & Optimization

  • Data Analytics & Visualization

  • Talent Management, Training and Succession Planning

  • Cost Reduction

 

Business Transformation


To say that “change will be the only constant” for organizations in the post-COVID world is cliché.  That said, successful transformation will remain critical in achieving objectives, though few organizations can claim to have managed major change initiatives successfully and come through unscathed.  Our leading transformation experts guide our clients through the hard and soft sides of business transformation to allow organizations to achieve their ever-growing objectives.   We do this by providing the following services:

  • Business Cases & Treasury Board Submissions

  • Outcomes Mapping and Benefits Realization

  • Business/Program Design

  • Business and IT Architecture

  • Organizational Design

  • Program and Project Management

  • Change Management
