business case
Mid-sized company
A new Chief Financial Officer has joined the company ahead of an upcoming capital restructuring exercise. He notes:
- Lack of visibility into construction operations and their profitability (margin per site),
- Inadequate use of data,
- Difficulty in obtaining reliable KPIs and gaining a consolidated forward-looking view,
- Significant outstanding receivables and very long collection times.
Provision of operational finance resources:
- A management controller who streamlined and automated profit margin tracking for each project,
- A financial controller who structured the customer debt collection process and its management,
- A data analyst who helped to organise and document the data through the implementation of PowerBI.
Outstanding receivables have been halved; the key KPIs and reports used to manage the business have been made more reliable and automated, and can now be generated on demand.
=> The balance sheet restructuring was successfully completed under favourable conditions for our client.
