We help management make timely decisions based on reliable figures. We design or review your company’s controlling and management information system, implement it and, if required, operate it over the long term. We build on your company’s existing systems and data: implementing a new enterprise resource planning system is not a prerequisite.
Our solutions
Management reporting for SMEs: We replace monthly reporting based on manual Excel work with a unified, automatically updated system: built on existing data, typically within 11 weeks, for a fixed fee.
Outsourced and interim controller services: Controller capacity without hiring an in-house employee: as a long-term outsourced service or for a transitional period.
When should you choose our controlling services?
When any of the following sounds familiar:
- Controlling has not grown with the company: it no longer fits the company’s size, organisational structure or the complexity of its activities.
- Controlling is only partially functioning, or is intertwined with accounting tasks.
- Management knows “in their heads” how much each activity generates, but the full picture is rarely accurate.
- The controller’s time is spent producing reports rather than analysing them.
- A planned transaction or due diligence process has revealed that reliable data is missing.
What does our Controlling and Management Information System service include?
- Design and implementation of a controlling and management information system: assessing requirements, establishing the controlling structure and defining key performance indicators, recommendations for improving data collection and accounting coding, implementation and training.
- Operation and outsourced controlling: long-term operation and occasional development of the established system, taking over controller responsibilities.
- Interim financial management: performing financial management responsibilities for a transitional period.
- Review of financial systems and processes: reviewing current operations, with recommendations for improvement.
- Management of system implementations: project management for the implementation of business intelligence (BI) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, from the implementation plan (schedule, budget, resources) to user training.
How do we work?
- One-off engagement: a clearly defined task, such as designing a reporting system or reviewing existing practices.
- Outsourced service: long-term, cost-effective operation of the controlling function and ongoing performance of controller responsibilities.
Why Grant Thornton?
- Financial experience: our experts draw on many years of financial experience and extensive knowledge.
- Due diligence experience: from more than 150 financial due diligence projects, we know which data gaps most frequently complicate a company’s valuation and how controlling can help address them.
- Tailored to your needs: we tailor our solutions to your company’s needs to support management decision-making at every organisational level.
