Challenges

When I joined, my team was spread across multiple locations, and the struggle to onboard and train staff consistently was real. Key finance processes needed improvement, requiring better documentation, training, and visibility. Despite having a leading finance system in place, managing processes efficiently, especially when collaboration was needed outside the finance team, proved to be a hurdle.

With a clear process map, I could refine and enhance our finance processes significantly. Demeter became the catalyst for transforming slow and painful onboarding into a quick and seamless process.

The positive impact of Demeter on my financial team was palpable. Training new team members became a breeze, with staff achieving more in less time. We not only met but exceeded Service Level Agreements (SLAs), swiftly identifying, and addressing any issues. Tangible savings were realized through accelerated cash collections and the offshoring of back-office roles. Weekly meetings with the CEO and Finance Director, once time-consuming, were now completed in a quarter of the time, thanks to enhanced management visibility.

Conclusion

My journey with Demeter has been nothing short of transformative. The solution provided a holistic approach to managing financial processes, fostering better job knowledge and process discipline. The ease of use delighted my team, enabling them to accomplish more in less time and receive well-deserved recognition.
