Defense co. needs to play better offense, starting by upgrading their reporting​

Picture this...

You’re a large defense contractor with ~$750M in revenue. As a newly-merged entity, the product of two mid-sized defense contractors, you have high C-Suite turnover, an under-skilled finance team, and low-quality data—all of which are hampering your ability to deliver accurate and timely financial and operational reporting to your sponsor. You need to recalibrate.

You turn to Accordion.

Your sponsor engages us to create a best-in-class set of automated reporting that includes a Monthly Reporting Pack, Monthly Flash, Weekly Flash, and 13-week cash flow forecast customized to the sponsor’s needs. If all goes well, they plan to roll this same plan out to their entire portfolio. To tackle this project, we:​

• Develop customized models for sponsor-required reporting of their portfolio companies. ​
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to facilitate automated reporting and plan for technology migrations. ​
• Implement automated data refresh mechanisms in models to enhance reporting speed, consistency, and accuracy.​
• Work with your CFO to create dashboards for real-time operational insights and decision-making. ​
• Produce documentation and training for users in FP&A and business partners to manage change.​
• Maintain model adoption and process integration despite resource shifts in F&A—providing comprehensive training to stakeholders.

Your value is enhanced.

You now have dynamic models that give your sponsor holistic performance insights and allow you to make more informed, data-based business decisions. ​

Citing success, your sponsor rolls out this same reporting structure to the rest of its portfolio.
