Play the CFO Gameboard with your finance function in focus

Your finance function must ensure stable operations, support the business and provide the foundation for future decisions. But where are the most important opportunities? What are the greatest risks? And which initiatives should be prioritised first?

The CFO Gameboard gives you a comprehensive, visual overview of your finance function, allowing you to prioritise the initiatives that create the greatest value for the business.

We know that no two finance functions are the same

There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for the perfect finance function. The right organisation, competencies and processes depend on the company’s strategy, size, stage of development and current challenges.

That is why we always map out your starting point before discussing where and how it makes the most sense to focus your efforts.

Together, we map out, among other things:

The role and raison d’être of the finance function

What is the role and purpose of the finance function, and what is the CFO’s background?

The company’s strategy and stage of development

Where is the company in its stage of development, and what demands does this place on the strategy?

Internal influences

What is happening within the company that may affect the finance function?

External influences

What is happening in the world that may affect the finance function?

The six areas of the finance function

The CFO Gameboard enables you to work systematically with six key areas that together make up your finance function. The six areas are divided into fields where you can place game pieces based on what we jointly define as important areas of focus. The six overarching areas are:

Accounting & transactions

Create stable and efficient handling of financial transactions. This may include focusing on processes, quality, standardisation, automation and scalability.

FCC & group reporting

Strengthen financial controlling, compliance and group reporting, ensuring that management receives an accurate and timely view of the company’s development.

FP&A & management accounting

Make the numbers talk. Work with forecasting, planning, scenarios and management reporting to support better and faster decision-making.

Business partnering & controlling

Make the finance function a stronger partner to the business. This is about creating insight, challenging decisions and bringing finance closer to the company’s value creation.

Capital & treasury

Create an overview of capital, liquidity, financing and financial risks, ensuring that the company has the right conditions to act and develop.

Strategy & development

Set the direction for the development of the finance function. Prioritise technology, competencies, operating model and transformation so that the finance function can keep pace with the company’s needs.
