Typical situations in a shared services transition
Shared Services Transition requires experience with the interplay between local processes and a global business center. We take over the accounting processes during the transition phase and make sure the migration runs smoothly.

Typical triggers: relocating accounting processes into a global business center, harmonizing processes across several entities, inconsistent standards between sites, or missing documentation as the basis for the migration.

In close collaboration with the global business center and with proactive communication across country and hub boundaries.
What we take over in the transition:
Takeover and stabilization of accounting processes across multiple sites in a shared-services context.
Process harmonization across multiple entities, countries and hubs.
Close collaboration and proactive communication with the global business center.
Optimization of payment runs and reporting processes during the transition phase.
Full documentation of stable processes as the foundation for migration into the shared service center.
Support with monthly and annual close under IFRS during the transition.
