PCG has depth and breadth of experiences to help support your organization’s challenges. 

FINANCE TRANSFORMATION

We have led global finance transformations that are large, complex projects involving many different stakeholders, cultures, processes, and systems across 30 different countries. We have driven small and enterprise change on a worldwide scale.

• People and talent are the foundation of a best-in-class organization. We reorganized teams with CFOs to support specialization to increase efficiencies and reduce headcount while transforming to a shared service model.
• The chart of accounts is the cornerstone of your organization. It is how finance talks about the business. We have deployed a global chart of accounts along with a local statutory chart of accounts for tax and local legislative reporting. A common source of truth is critical to measuring performance. 
• Process standardization is crucial to increasing efficiencies and improving your bottom line. We have standardized financial processes across record-to-report, source-to-pay, invoice-to-cash, and plan-to-perform to achieve a 2.5 day close at a global scale. Closing the books faster allows  leaders to make more timely decisions and to keep up with the changing world.
• Consistency matters. How results are reviewed enables crucial conversations and operational excellence. We have defined, built, and delivered governance review packages that support reviews of organic same-store sales and inorganic acquisition sales growth for the C-Suite. We have deployed canonical financial data models that create a single dictionary for all financial terms and data. It ensures that when people talk about a number, everyone understands exactly what it means, which is essential for accurate reporting and combining numbers from different parts of the world.
• Financial controls support reporting integrity. We have implemented Segregation of Duties (SoD). Too much access to systems and processes create risk to the organization. For example, vendor setup and payment should be separated to reduce mistakes and prevent fraud.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Decades of experience as entrepreneurs and operators deliver tangible results to operations.

• Your brand is how you communicate with customers. We have driven total rebranding of a hotel relaunch and ensured full adherence to new corporate brand guidelines.
• Acquisitions of new businesses can be very challenging. We have bought and transformed bar operations into a successful and consistent business.
• We have directed all aspects of the new restaurant concept, including renovations, operational strategy, and team culture building.
• Bar operations success is difficult. We have run bar operations for over 20 years, consistently adapting to market demands and overcoming significant obstacles from staffing to branding strategies and overcoming COVID pandemic challenges.

TECHNOLOGY FORWARD

• We have extensive experience with modern technologies small and large. We have used Bar POS systems, hotel PMS systems, and small business accounting software such as Quickbooks.We have deployed Oracle Cloud Financials, Vista Construction Software, Essbase, Kofax, Coupa, Apro Banking and Imaging, Anaplan, Business Objects, and PowerBI. These tools have helped automate work, manage financial information better, improve forecasting, planning & analysis, and make it easier to create dashboard reports which make your teams more efficient and insightful.
