The establishment of economic profit as the key performance indicator (KPI) of value-based financial management forms the basis for assessing financial value creation and deriving driver-based KPIs. We support you in defining economic profit and customized, driver-based KPIs for your company. This enables you to actively and proactively manage financial value creation via your key financial drivers.
The design and quality of financial reporting significantly influences the quality of strategic and operational corporate management. Our experience shows that financial reporting is often not adequately aligned with the value drivers of financial value creation, which leads to inadequate reporting for financial corporate management. In order to put current and planned financial performance in the right context, benchmarking against peer companies is also essential. We support you in aligning your financial reporting with financial value creation and show you the financial performance of your company within your industry in a transparent manner.
