Solutions — By Function
Finance
& Financial Operations.

Finance expectations keep climbing. Faster forecasts. Tighter controls. Sharper strategic insights. Yet the function is still consumed by manual close cycles, data reconciliations, and reporting that generates debate rather than decisions. Meanwhile, AI investments are stalling and the business is losing confidence in the numbers finance produces.

ValueFlow360™ doesn't just build a roadmap. It builds a digital twin of your finance operations at activity level, diagnoses the full function, and identifies these pain points and more. From there, it shows how those pain points contribute to value leakage across your operations, quantifies the value leaks and identifies optimization opportunities, prioritizes those opportunities, and produces an execution-ready roadmap in 4 weeks from your own people's data.

The Challenge

What every CFO is
navigating right now.

Finance leaders are under pressure to transform, yet 86% say they have achieved no significant value from their AI investments. The barriers are structural, cross-dimensional, and the same across every industry.

Data
Finance can see what was spent. Not where value was created or destroyed.
49% of CFOs say poor data quality blocks them from making critical financial decisions. Data sits fragmented across ERP systems, planning tools, and spreadsheets that don't reconcile cleanly. The result is reporting that generates debate rather than decisions, and forecasts built on assumptions nobody fully trusts.
Capacity
The finance function is expected to be strategic. It's still consumed by the close cycle.
Month-end close, reconciliations, audit preparation, and manual reporting consume the majority of finance capacity every cycle. The strategic work — forecasting, scenario planning, business partnering — happens in the margins. And every transformation initiative that was supposed to free up capacity has instead added complexity.
Technology
ERP. EPM. RPA. AI. Cloud migration. Multiple investments running simultaneously. None delivering the full expected return.
CFOs are managing the most complex technology portfolio in their organization's history. ERP modernization, EPM and planning platforms like Anaplan and OneStream, RPA deployments across AP and AR, AI-driven forecasting tools, and cloud migration programs — often all at once. Each was supposed to free up capacity and improve decision-making. Instead, they've added complexity on top of processes that were never properly mapped. Technology is only as good as the process it runs on.
Credibility
The business is making decisions without finance. That's a structural problem.
When finance numbers are questioned, the conversation moves to methodology rather than action. Business units build their own models. Forecasts get challenged at every leadership meeting. The credibility gap between what finance reports and what the business experiences widens every cycle, and finance loses its seat at the decision table.
The Engagement

Your team validates.
