Next to that, think about advising CFOs on optimal steering information, improving clients’ financial planning and analysis capabilities, realizing a new organizational model, or implementing improved Finance processes and technologies. Also, projects focusing on sustainable Finance and long-term value get more and more attention. In short, we advise on a broad range of topics that are sky high on the CFO agenda and that our BC Finance team is passionate about.
