Meeting today’s finance challenges
A host of pressing challenges, on
top of an already-full agenda,
currently confront CFOs in today’s
hypercompetitive world—one buffeted
by economic pressures, the rise of
globalization and a decreasing pool
of qualified talent.
With the advent of the multi-polar
world, where the centers of economic
might have become increasingly
distributed around the globe, managing
the financial organization of the
enterprise across borders and time
zones has grown increasingly complex,
particularly if the enterprise wishes to
compete and excel by developing new
capabilities and business models to take
advantage of all the opportunities the
new global environment has to offer.
Recent Accenture research—the
Accenture High Performance Finance
Study 2008—has highlighted four
particular challenges faced by CFOs
and their finance organizations in this
multi-polar world.

High performance
delivered: Accenture
and Pfizer
When major pharmaceutical company
Pfizer tripled its size after acquiring
two other global companies, it turned
to Accenture for help in optimizing
its finance function. Pfizer’s annual
revenues had skyrocketed, making it
the world’s leading research-based
pharmaceutical company. With larger
operations, however, came a far more
challenging workload for Pfizer’s
corporate tax division. That team faced
a critical decision: hire more people or
radically change the way they worked.
Working closely with Accenture,
Pfizer chose to initiate an innovative
transformation of the people, processes
and technology supporting its entire
tax function, achieving a 40 percent
process improvement in the function’s
performance within 12 months.
Today, the division is successfully
completing its work with roughly the
same number of tax professionals it
employed when the company was half
its current size. Accenture’s ongoing
research into high-performance
business suggests that mastery of a
functional area such as corporate tax
can help the organization as a whole
achieve high performance.
An important part of this initiative
involved Accenture’s and Pfizer’s
creation of a new corporate tax portal,
a “virtual desktop” that is now the
common starting place for every Pfizer
tax professional each working day. The
portal enables Pfizer’s people to access
the latest divisional news, see projects
at a glance, use shared templates
and work processes, and reach the
data and information they need in
an efficient and effective way.
Finance Operations
Overview
Accenture research has found that the
operational dimensions of the finance
organization create the foundation
for high-performance finance.
Accordingly, Accenture’s Finance
Operations solution supports CFOs
with the planning and implementation
of core back-office services, helping
to increase operating efficiencies,
improve service, drive cost reductions
and align the finance function with
specific business needs. Our distinctive
finance operations services include
Process Improvement, Organizational
Analysis and Design, Finance and
Accounting Outsourcing, and Enabling
Technologies.
Process Improvement
Organizations that invest in
streamlining their finance processes
can dramatically increase their
operating efficiency. We help our
clients look beyond the traditional
finance transaction boundaries to
deliver further benefits through
end-to-end process connectivity
and standardization. We support the
transformation of critical processes
such as purchase-to-pay, order-
to-cash, revenue assurance and
record-to-report. We work closely
with Accenture’s supply chain
management practice to provide an
end-to-end capability that can achieve
greater efficiencies in the area of
working capital, including inventory
management, to help drive growth.
Organizational Analysis and Design
Accenture research has found that
finance masters do much more than
simply process financial transactions
faster and more cheaply, or take
their shared services operations
to a lower cost location. Instead,
the high performers have made
finance operations more strategic by
internalizing the notion of process
elimination: removing waste from

and SAP
SAP—Europe’s leading software
company and a dominant force in
the global market for enterprise

internal benchmarking study that,
although all of its European locations
were using SAP software, they were
not all benefiting to the same degree.
Processes were not standardized, and
each location had reached different
levels of maturity in deploying the
system, leading to an inconsistent
rollout of functionality.
To increase efficiency through process

to create a single, shared services

and a Retail
FORTUNE 500
company
A retail FORTUNE 500 company sought
to increase profitable growth ahead
of competitors in an increasingly
saturated market. Growth was costing
more, and therefore a new customer-
facing strategy was created to build
longevity with existing customer
relationships and focusing on essential
customer metrics as lead indicators
to financial results. An analysis of
current operations revealed that
the company’s legacy performance
management capabilities—defined as
a balanced set of metrics, analytics,
reporting, incentives and enabling
technologies—were not aligned with
this new direction. In response, the
company launched a transformational
program to realign its performance
management capabilities with the
intended strategy so that critical
behaviors and actions in the business
could respond to the end-to-end needs
of the customer.
The retail FORTUNE 500 company
asked Accenture to partner with
them during this transformational
time. Accenture worked closely with
their leadership to co-create a new
performance management and analytic
capability based on leading practices
and specific organizational needs.
This work included the development
of a metrics-based approach to a
customer-focused retail operation as
well as a new analytics organization
that was created to develop and
implement actionable insights for
corporate and field inquiries.
Accenture also worked with the
company to enhance their data
warehousing and information
management capabilities. A single
source of information was created
based on the critical metrics.
Robust trending and visualization
functionalities were deployed to
broaden the context for business
performance discussions and make
it easier for employees to put the
information to use in service of the
customer’s needs. New event-based
alerts were designed to proactively
inform leaders about required
management interventions or
opportunities. This work also included
the creation of cross-functional data
governance processes to address
business and data impacts upstream
from data warehouse operations
and processes. Accenture helped the
company develop a fully integrated
data model to include customer
information with financial, product
and operational information.
Accenture’s leading position in
enterprise performance management
is helping this company elevate their
high performance in several ways. A
single set of enterprise metrics now
assists corporate and field personnel to
get on the same page when discussing
performance issues and business
opportunities in addition to speeding
up the time from decision to action.
A new analytic support model helps
identify, organize and link information
with action. Standard reporting and
business intelligence tools, as well
as standard operating platforms,
help link metrics with the right
performance management behaviors
at scale. And, consistent with their
core values, the company worked from
a position of strength to re-invent
how they manage performance, with
a focus on measuring the essential
components—customer relationships,
employee engagement and operational
excellence—critical to achieving
profitable growth and maintaining
their competitive edge.

Risk Management
In today’s challenging global economy,
companies confront a variety of
environment and process risks, as
well as risks from incomplete or
biased information for decision
making. To stay on the path to high
performance, companies must identify,
assess, manage and monitor their
business opportunities and risks in an
integrated and transparent way.
Although risk management has been
an existing function within the finance
departments of some organizations
for many years, recent Accenture
research has shown that few
companies have a standardized and
fully integrated risk management
capability that is common to all
functions across the enterprise.
