Finance Management Consulting Marketplace: Key Trends, Profiles and Forecasts
Softsell Inset

Part of Kennedy’s Financial Consulting Research Series

Client concern with operating efficiency and cost of delivery in the finance function continues to drive client spending on Finance Management consulting to define and standardize the global operating model. Finance and accounting (F&A) functions are striving to be more flexible and responsive to the competitive dynamics and shifting business models of their company.
Kennedy’s exclusive research reveals that this is resulting in a greater number of finance strategy engagements to assess the current state of clients’ F&A operations and to define specific areas for improvement. With this, there is an increase in client spending on more comprehensive F&A processes consulting – including creating shared service organizations and outsourcing more accounting processes. And more investment in systems rationalization and standardization is driving growth in F&A technology consulting.
Analysis also shows that the role of the finance function is evolving as accounting delivery is streamlined in order to better support the growth agenda of the enterprise. More robust analytics and decision support are being provided internally, which is contributing to the increased size and scope of F&A processes and F&A technology consulting engagements.
Because of these dynamics, the finance management (FM) consulting market is enjoying relatively strong growth globally despite continued weak economic conditions.
