CFO advisory

While consulting products usually address specific topics, this particular offering is aimed specifically at CFOs. It supports them in the development and perception of their enlarged role as a business-driven CFO with a greatly expanded influence and remit within the company.

Today, the CFO is more than just someone who keeps the books in order, manages the accounts, and ensures sufficient liquidity. Modern CFOs are business-driven individuals whose influence and remit is much greater and includes things like internal transformation processes, managing transactions and sustainably improving the company's performance.

In line with this philosophy, Roland Berger offers comprehensive professional consulting services for the business-driven CFOs that reflect their expanded remit.

This essentially covers three areas:

1) Optimization of the finance function. This includes optimizing the operating model in Finance, establishing and optimizing SSC/GBS structures, Finance diagnostics, maturity assessments as well as digitalization and AI use within Finance – we support all of them end to end, from strategy to implementation.

2) Other CFO topics. These cover implementing performance programs, company-wide transformation processes, including implementing S/4HANA projects, as well as corporate transactions and the accompanying carve-out or PMI programs.

3) Things we address as part of our CFO Academy. This encompasses topics related to personal enablement, such as developing a keener understanding of the role, defining the range of tasks or developing a first 100 days plan.

In addition to individual project work, we also foster regular exchange within the CFO community at our CFO Round Table events, held annually in Germany and Switzerland.
