Marketing
There are a myriad of ways to define marketing in the corporate world. Some define it as supporting sales activities only, some define it as activities that will expand mind share, etc… There are indeed many ways to look at marketing. However, the underlying business driver for having a marketing department or marketing activities is to be able to reach out to your target audience to convey your desired message. Effective marketing as translated into a compelling message will ultimately result in improved sales and profit.

Finance
Within Finance services, we help organizations to measure and manage their business performance, optimise their cost base and transform their support services. We also provide financial expertise to IS and ERP systems implementation projects.
Our consultants work with finance leaders to ensure their function supports their organizational effectiveness. This includes transforming the financial functions to add value to the business, as well as making the transaction processing function more effective. We help businesses perform at their optimal position by looking at performance reporting, often using a balanced scorecard approach, strategic planning, strategic cost management, business modeling to identify any ‘pain points’ within operations, and overall risk management.
