Financial Performance Management

Consolidation, planning, forecasting, profitability analytics: we build end-to-end EPM capabilities that transform Finance into a strategic driver.
The challenge

Transforming your Finance function

Finance leaders face a complex equation: deliver reliable financial information under accelerating deadlines while navigating evolving standards and increasing organizational complexity.

The symptoms are familiar: 15 to 20-day close cycles consuming teams on low-value manual tasks, cumbersome budgeting processes with limited agility, and poor visibility into true profitability drivers.

Finance transformation isn't just about deploying an EPM platform. It requires redesigning processes, establishing data governance, and enabling teams to adopt new ways of working.

Our approach

Neomind Advisory architects your EPM transformation, combining deep finance expertise with technology mastery.

Process before tools : Process mapping and optimization before any deployment

Pragmatic delivery : Visible quick wins within the first weeks

Autonomy as the goal : Knowledge transfer and long-term sustainability

Consolidation & Close

Financial closes typically consume 15 to 20 days, with 60% of time absorbed by low-value manual tasks. Intercompany reconciliation errors delay publication and erode auditor confidence.

Neomind Advisory designs fast-close processes that fundamentally transform this cycle. We deploy multi-GAAP consolidation models (IFRS, local GAAP, US GAAP) with automated multi-currency conversion.

Every adjustment is tracked, every elimination documented, delivering a complete audit trail that meets statutory auditor requirements.

Key capabilities
  • Automated data collection and source validation
  • Real-time intercompany reconciliation with automatic variance detection
  • Centralized close cockpit with full audit trail
  • Multi-GAAP and multi-currency consolidation models
When we engage

→  Fast-close transformation programs

→  EPM platform consolidation and migration

→  Post-acquisition or group restructuring redesign

→  Multi-entity and multi-standard harmonization

Budgeting & Planning

Budgeting processes typically consume 3 to 4 months annually, generate hundreds of Excel file exchanges, and produce forecasts outdated upon publication.

This burden constrains decision-making agility and consumes valuable resources on compilation rather than analysis.

Neomind Advisory modernizes planning cycles to make them agile and collaborative. We deploy planning environments connected to actuals, enabling real-time budget-to-actual comparison and continuous adjustment through rolling forecasts.

Key capabilities
  • Driver-based planning: models driven by business levers
  • Rolling forecasts for continuous adjustment
  • Collaborative workflows with multi-level approval
  • What-if scenarios for impact simulation
When we engage

→  Annual budget process modernization

→  Rolling forecast deployment

→  Driver-based planning implementation

→  Financial and operational planning integration (S&OP)

Profitability Analytics

Finance leaders know their top-line revenue but rarely have precise visibility into profitability by product, customer, or channel.

Indirect costs are allocated using flat rates, and strategic trade-offs are made without measuring real impact on margins.

Neomind Advisory deploys multidimensional profitability models that inform strategic decisions and surface pockets of value creation and destruction.

Key capabilities
  • Multi-axis analysis: product, customer, channel, project, geography
  • Tailored costing models (direct, full cost, ABC)
  • Traceable indirect cost allocation by drivers
  • Real-time margin management dashboards
When we engage

→  Multidimensional profitability implementation

→  ABC / TDABC model deployment

→  Margin management by product, customer, or channel

→  Profitability integration into strategic management

Integrated Business Planning

Financial and operational plans too often evolve in silos: sales forecasts don't feed the budget, supply chain decisions impact the P&L without prior visibility.

Trade-offs are made without a complete view of their consequences across the value chain.

Neomind Advisory deploys IBP processes connecting strategy, Finance, and Operations. S&OP becomes financially integrated, with scenarios incorporating volumes, prices, costs, and capacity in a consolidated view.

Key capabilities
  • Connected financial, commercial, and industrial plans
  • Financially integrated S&OP with P&L and cash impact
  • Cross-functional integrated scenarios
  • Clear collaborative governance
When we engage

→  Finance and Operations process alignment

→  Financially integrated S&OP deployment

→ Sales forecast and budget connection

→  Group-level IBP governance structuring
