In large organisations 34% of Finance Directors already invest more than 30% of their
time delivering Finance Business Partner solutions demonstrating how effective this
approach is seen to be. However, finance transformations have never been seen as
the realm for the smaller business. Yet, the approach is still as effective if implemented
properly and the correct skills nurtured within the business.
The key barrier to date has been awareness of this approach.
Small, medium businesses (SME’s) account for 99% of all organisations in the UK and
over 48% of turnover. If this approach could be implemented in a good percentage
of these businesses, given that the SME is the bedrock of the UK economy.
Indigo Performance, has researched all the skills necessary, not just for finance
professionals but for the business managers and introduced a suite of programmes
and services, to ensure that a business partner approach can be delivered regardless
of the size of the organisation.
- Skills development for the finance professional
- Business Acumen and Commercial Awareness for business managers
- Introduction programmes for the approach to raise awareness and increase buy in
- Assessments to review infrastructure and motivation of all parties
In all but the smallest businesses, that operate without a finance professional,
the above approach addresses all the key barriers to finance business partner implementations
for the small, medium business (SME)
Indigo has also created a strategic partnership with Jenson Solutions, providers
of part time Finance Directors who can adopt the finance bsuiness partner role itself,
where no full time finance professional is employed.
