For reliable data visibility, you need a financial management system with the flexibility to drill down into any exception and slice-and-dice by business drivers such as project, customer, or department to understand the true nature of your business. You can master the cost-management process by ge ing granular – by digging into the budgeted and actual expenses for each department, team, and project – but you need the ability to do that in real time. By achieving this detailed level of real time visibility, you can hold small groups more accountable for their own budget and performance management. The burden of accountability no longer lies with just with the finance team because individual departments have granular access to their numbers, providing a level of detail that lets you identify and respond to both challenges and opportunities faster. An Unwavering Focus on Growth The IPO may be an exit event for some investors, but for your employees, customers, and new investors, the IPO is merely another milestone in a long journey of building and operating a successful company. By selling a portion of the company in the IPO, you receive millions of dollars in cash that can help fuel future growth. To manage all that new, public money you need a system that supports operational growth and strategic complexity. Fast-growing companies must understand what's working – and what's not working – from a business perspective, not just the financial metrics. If something's not performing, you need the deeper insights to understand why, and you need this insight in real-time so you can make rapid course corrections. When you are moving faster, you need to see further ahead. The right financial system helps you achieve this visibility before and a er your IPO.
