Finance & Accounting Innovation

Today’s CFO's need to act quickly and decisively to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their finance functions. They need to ensure full alignment of the finance function with the wider business goals, to provide their business partners with tailored, flexible, real-time and accurate financial information, while maintaining cost efficient,  minimising financial and operational risk and complying with IFRS regulations.

Many finance organisations have inefficient, manually intensive processes, disparate systems and multiple data sources that are not integrated. Unique Excellence has worked on all levels of Finance & Accounting and collaborated with diverse CFO's and/ or Finance Leadership Teams to address these challenges and implemented finance innovations to create value-driven finance organisations with or without Shared Services, Business Process Outsourcing, Robotic Process Automation and ultimately Global Business Services.

We take a hand-on approach through partnering with leading, fit-for-purpose technology solutions to deliver proven best practices and delivering "real-time" accounting. Over the years, Unique Excellence has implemented innovative finance solutions that has transformed finance organisation into true commercial business partner models to deliver the required business value in meeting overall organisational goals.

Operational Innovation & Global Business Services 

Operational Innovation requires organisations to further transition from Shared Services (SSC), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Global Business Services (GBS) towards the next generation of Global Services.

​

At Unique Excellence we have introduced Operational Innovative solutions that allowed these transactional centres to transition towards strategic centres and create:

• Operational adaptation model to allow organisations to easily adapt to the continuously changing sociocultural, political and legal, technological, economic, health and other global influences

• Global process efficiencies, and affiliated cost savings in back-office environments, e.g. IT, Finance, HR, Procurement,

• Centres of Excellence, e.g. Tax, Treasury, Sourcing, supporting local, regional and global challenges

The transition from SSC & BPO towards GBS, with a continuous operational adaptation model, has shown how organisations are able to adapt to evolving business demands. We see a clear movement in creating coordination across the various "back-office services" with a certain level of flexibility, delivering the next trench of incremental value. A large number of organisations have set-up these "centres", but haven't achieved the expected value.

Unique Excellence has led this innovation journey in many global multinationals and is seen as a thought-leader in introducing Operational Innovative solutions to deliver high-impact value.

Employee Engagement and Performance Culture

By working across multiple different country and business cultures, Unique Excellence fully appreciates how leadership, engagement and culture can enable or restrict business change. 

Through working extensively with "people" professionals, we have been able to understand leadership challenges and cultural differences. We know that it's imperative to implement change that supports these challenges and cultural customs. By working with local managers and leaders, Unique Excellence has been able to introduce effective methods that support different country and business cultures.

By active mentoring and guidance, we have introduced the innovative mindset in a number of operational and supply chain leaders, which have been able to drive trust in their organisation and deliver "small" innovative incremental changes that drive innovative excellence, support employee engagement and introduce a performance culture. 

Through working through the Agile Innovation Delivery method and a combination of internal and external specialists (e.g. Gallup), senior leadership was able to drive a higher employee engagement and performance improvements.
