Our Approach

Find the right balance of internal and external talent

In a world dominated by digital transformation, organizations will need to consider how finance will work with the business to support and achieve its goals. The finance target operating model must be designed to enable these interactions and enhance finance’s ability to strategically support the organization. With the current shortage of skilled talent, our automation expertise will help bridge the gap to keep up with demand.

Through the use of leading practices, our professionals help organizations evaluate and find the right balance of internal and external talent to align with their strategy and optimize resources.

Depending on your organization’s specific needs, Protiviti’s experts may work to help you deliver rapid improvements, drive operational/cost efficiencies, or navigate the complexities of outsourcing arrangements, improving service while reducing costs. We tailor our solutions to your organizational needs to uncover opportunities and optimize your resources throughout the process.

At Protiviti, we understand that every client’s environment and needs are different. We design our approach to be flexible and scalable to our clients’ needs. However, we do follow a standard methodology designed to assess your organization’s current situation, define a high-level target operating model and create a path forward for efficiency and improvement.
