Our Business Transformation team is one of six core solution sets within Consulting, designed to help businesses transform by improving their operations and supporting them to overcome performance challenges that lead to lasting growth and adaptability (across strategy, technology, finance, innovation, and people). We are guided by good practice principles and the latest technologies, but never constrained by them. At our core, we are critical-thinkers, problem-solvers, and visionaries.
The Finance Transformation team sits within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice, and we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join us.
Over recent years, the work of traditional back-office functions like Finance has changed significantly, along with how this work is delivered.
CFOs face increasing complexity and an ever-changing business environment. They are tasked with driving enterprise performance, participating in strategic growth, and running an effective and efficient finance function. This has accelerated how Finance operates, necessitating more agile, streamlined, and efficient processes to deliver accurate, reliable, and insightful financial information. Many CFOs are struggling to navigate these changes.
At RSM, we partner with CFOs to design and implement future-ready Finance operating models. We take the time to understand our clients' business, vision, and needs, and evaluate pragmatic solutions that elevate their teams, enhance effectiveness, and modernize their digital footprint.
