Transforming and stabilising global finance systems
Our client, a FTSE100 multinational automotive company, transformed its finance function by streamlining and simplifying its practices and introducing more stabilisation on controls and standardising processes.
BIE appointed a Global Finance Transformation Director to oversee the transformation and set up a strategy for a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and shared global service.
“BIE has demonstrated an ability to deliver people who are both relevant to our particular business challenges and the right personality to fit within our organisation.”
