Our partner is seeking a consultant to conduct a review of its finance function, including structure, processes and systems with a view of improving effectiveness and efficiency. This exercise stems from the fact that the finance function of the organisation has developed organically over the course of the organisation’s life and growth, covering the expansion of programmes and the opening of new administrative offices.
Scope of the Review

* Review of the processes and systems; and make recommendations on how processes might be streamlined to address bottlenecks and streamline these.
* Advise on how the finance function might operate more effectively as a global function
