Illuminating the Path to Efficiency: Unveiling Hidden Potential with Finance Process Discovery & Assessment
Finance Process Discovery & Assessment
Embarking on any journey of improvement requires a clear understanding of your starting point. In the realm of finance operations, this crucial first step is Finance Process Discovery & Assessment. Much like a thorough medical diagnosis precedes treatment, a comprehensive understanding of your current finance processes is essential for identifying inefficiencies, unlocking hidden potential, and laying the groundwork for meaningful transformation.
At Tierpoint Partners, we specialise in providing this foundational service. Think of it as shining a powerful light into the often-opaque corners of your finance function. We go beyond surface-level observations and leverage the objective, data-driven power of process mining to create a clear and accurate picture of how your core finance processes – from invoice handling and payment cycles to financial reporting and reconciliation – are actually operating.
Peeling Back the Layers: What Our Discovery & Assessment Uncovers
Our Finance Process Discovery & Assessment service utilises cutting-edge process mining technology to automatically extract and analyse the digital footprints left by your daily finance activities within your existing systems (ERP, accounting software, CRM, etc.). This allows us to move beyond anecdotal evidence and deliver a factual representation of your workflows, revealing critical insights such as:
-
We visually map out how your key finance processes are truly executed, identifying all the steps, variations, and handoffs involved.
-
Pinpoint exactly where inefficiencies and slowdowns are occurring, hindering speed and consuming valuable resources.
-
Identify repetitive tasks and unnecessary steps that contribute to wasted effort and increased costs.
-
Uncover instances where processes are not being followed as intended, potentially leading to errors and compliance risks.
-
Highlight tasks that are heavily reliant on manual intervention and are prime candidates for automation.
-
Establish baseline metrics for key performance indicators (KPIs) like cycle times, processing costs, and error rates, providing a benchmark for future improvement.
