Jeff W. on sharing lessons learned with client team members: "At my most recent engagement, I worked across multiple divisions/departments at all levels of the organization. I really enjoy seeing a business from as many aspects as possible, interacting with as many people as possible and improving my skill set by learning from those with more experience. But often, the ability to share your own knowledge, experiences and 'work hacks' provides the greatest sense of accomplishm...ent. "In this particular instance, a staff member of the accounting team was new to the company and had started just prior to my arrival. They were experiencing that drinking-from-a-firehose shock of being new a lot of information and new terminology being thrown at them with little time to digest. As getting up to speed quickly is my normal, I was able to share some of my organizing and notetaking hacks to help dissolve some of the clutter. "It was a great feeling helping the staff member have an 'aha moment.' Their whole demeanor changed, and they were able to focus on the more important aspects of their role and become a contributing member of the team faster." -- Learn about leveraging our team of finance and accounting consultants for your project: https://hubs.ly/H0mfcz60 #consulting #consultinglife #consultant #financialconsulting #finance #cpa #mba #pmp #accounting #losangeles #la #paretoprinciple #pareto #business #8020consulting #corporatefinance #services #financialsystems

Ellen Vayner, MBA, PMP on process improvement: "The client's team members pulled information from three systems into a myriad of spreadsheets to produce financial statements. And the translation and reconciliation of that data took a lot of time. For example, there were Funds in all three systems, but one system held actual and accrued revenues. Another held actual expenses. And the third stored revenues and expenses after allocations were applied in the spreadsheets. And the... same Funds had different names and identifiers in each system. "The client’s accounting team was siloed and unfamiliar with master data management (MDM). When I performed the process assessment and documentation for the future ERP implementation project, this was an easy, obvious improvement that would significantly increase productivity. "I held several working sessions in which we determined the source of truth for Funds (and other master data) and designed the supporting processes. Then we had collaborative sessions with key groups (i.e., IT, Ops, AP, Finance), obtained their buy-in and finally got the approval from the CFO. During the new ERP implementation, the system integrations were built on these MDM principles and supporting processes." -- Learn more: https://hubs.ly/H0mfcm10 . . . . . . . . #consulting #consultinglife #consultant #financialconsulting #finance #cpa #mba #pmp #accounting #losangeles #la #paretoprinciple #pareto #business #8020consulting #corporatefinance #services #financialsystems
