IMPROVING PERFORMANCE IN FINANCE DEPARTMENT

A membership association in the medical sector wanted a review of its Finance Department.

It needed a department capable of leading the organisation on a range of financial and related matters, allowing it to become a commercial activity, with the Finance Director having an increasing role beyond the department. The developments needed were major and challenging.

The core of the review was a comprehensive consultation process embracing finance and other employees, staff representatives, the senior management team, and Council members.

Sterling’s recommendations freed up time for the Finance Director to spend on strategic issues and allowed the department as a whole to provide financial guidance to directors and actively develop relations with other departments.
