Background

Our client experienced an extraordinary disruption to the business stemming from an ERP implementation across the organization. Following a period of cleaning up and restating a full year of activity, it became clear that the impacts to the business far exceeded forecasts. S+H Consulting identified significant business deficiencies which eroded margins over $60M.

S+H Consulting was tasked with developing a strategy in which a new FP&A function could support the business’ execution of initiatives identified and developed through our analyses.

Objective

  • Identify high level program initiatives which, if executed, will achieve desired returns.
  • Develop forecasts of program execution and impacts of execution.
  • Pop up a finance function to inform progress towards initiatives and general forecasting and planning requirements.
  • Redesign and enhance the accounting function to ensure timely and accurate processing of transactions.
  • Develop and program manage the timeline of tasking associated with each value enhancement initiative.

Solution

  • Identified deficiencies impacting the business and informed actions required to turnaround business performance.
  • Informed expected impacts of value enhancement initiatives.
  • Redesigned the accounting function to ensure timely and accurate processing of transactions.
  • Managed the execution of initiatives until permanent employees were hired.
  • Placed a VP of Finance who managed initiative execution to successful turnaround of the business performance.

Successfully guided our client from a distressed state to a turnaround solution, including placing fulltime permanent employees capable of completing the business turnaround.
