ScottMadden Insight: Finance and Accounting Centers of Expertise

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 4, 2012 - ScottMadden, Inc., a leading general management consulting firm, recently published “Finance and Accounting Centers of Expertise.” This article offers ScottMadden’s perspective on Centers of Expertise (COEs) and attempts to answer “everything you always wanted to know about Finance and Accounting Centers of Expertise, but did not know to ask.”

As finance and accounting shared services operations continue to mature, companies are increasingly attempting to add more value by “moving up the value chain.” While there are various ways to expand shared services, one of the common philosophies is to implement COEs. But what is a Finance and Accounting COE? What makes it different? Who should lead it?

“Finance and Accounting COEs are part of the broader shared services delivery model,” says Trey Robinson, partner at ScottMadden. “By implementing COEs, transaction-based shared services organizations can expand to analytical processes that are owned by small teams of specialists who improve collaboration, promote the use of leading practices, and deliver business results.”

ScottMadden has been helping clients create greater value for their corporate services organizations for nearly 30 years. Our highly efficient, collaborative teams employ measurable, award-winning methods and deep cross-functional expertise to improve operational performance.
