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

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:

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
