The client is a leading brewery company in South Asia, known for its longstanding legacy and strong market presence. With a large-scale production facility and robust manufacturing capacity, the company exports its flagship products to several countries worldwide. The finance organisation is structured into five key verticals: Corporate Finance, Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), and Shared Services.

• High level of human intervention in ways of working and people dependent activities resulted in low efficiency and high processing time.
• Owing to growing transaction volumes and lack of an efficient operating model, transaction processing activities were scattered across all Finance Organisation with skewed team utilisation across reporting periods.
• With legacy staff and limited people capability, there were challenges w.r.t. up-skilling employees for fitment within the finance function to serve organisational needs.
