OUR SERVICES
FULL DIAGNOSTIC HEALTH CHECK AND ROADMAP TO BEST IN CLASS
The recommendation will be to commence any project with an initial diagnostic report on the financial health of the organisation, what is the current status quo, what are the prevailing issues, risks to not addressing and suggested solutions. Prioritise these actions and build a full roadmap to best in class for the Finance Department and Finance output. This typically takes four days and is priced as a fixed sum which includes presentation to the client.
EXECUTION
After the initial report has been prepared, presented and agreed by the client, the IBS consultant will commence with execution against the roadmap. Regular updates will be provided to the client who will see clear deliverables and value added from day one. The managing consultant is now extremely well versed and experienced in delivering against these plans and will ensure timescales and expectations are met and exceeded at all times.
