Business & finance strategy
BUSINESS STRATEGY
We support business units of large corporations in building long-term competitive advantages, renewing growth levers and implementing major operational improvements.
Corporate strategy
Accuracy’s approach to corporate strategy is one based on facts and figures. Our expertise lies in data-driven quantitative assessments to support your major strategic and/or investment decisions. Whether at corporate or business level, we help you create long-term value for shareholders and shape your executive agenda: detecting market opportunities, reviewing strategies, quantifying strategic growth options, validating investments and disposals, building or reviewing business plans and more. We also support private equity firms, banks and corporates on acquisitions, disposals and refinancing in the preparation, implementation and follow-up of their transactions.
Business strategy
Our strategy consultants focus on quantifying future market potential, assessing the company’s competitive position and clarifying underlying drivers of value. We highlight market trends facing the company and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate market risks and capture opportunities for further value creation. Our industry expertise spans all key sectors and our in-depth knowledge of many sub-segments allows us to provide you with the most relevant and customised scope for issue-based answers. Our reports are highly valuable to support investment decisions and are also often used in post-deal environments to directly address our actionable recommendations.
Operations
Our best-in-class analytical rigour can help transform your processes and build new capabilities in your operations. In the areas of manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, service operations or capital projects, our data-driven approach applied to your processes aims to enhance quality and productivity (for example, in production planning and scheduling or optimising the supply chain), identify cost savings and areas for optimisation (price negotiation and volume-pooling strategies, models and metrics to track results), meet shifting market demand, develop and design new customer services and maximise return on capex investments.
FINANCE STRATEGY
We support companies and financial institutions in their planning, in areas such as financial strategy, balance sheet management, strategic planning, risk and crisis management, and asset and share valuation.
Understanding equity share value
In the context of ever more present activist shareholders, we support our clients in analysing equity share value and understanding its valuation level compared with listed competitors (determinants, historical development, theoretical model, relevance of financial communication, etc.). We also perform critical reviews of financial and strategic plans for management teams and boards of directors and identify areas of focus in order to optimise shareholder value.
Following our undervaluation assessments and BP reviews, our clients entrust us with key areas of their strategy and its conversion into figures.
Financial planning and analysis
We are finance experts with extensive experience in transforming finance functions into value-creation units that act as a strategic partner to the business, going beyond standard reporting and providing answers to questions raised by decision-makers in every part of the organisation. We work with CFOs on top-of-mind areas of interest, including financial strategy, balance sheet management, operating models for finance functions, and risk and crisis management. The rigour of our analytics and our fact-based approach to planning allow business leaders to make more informed and more robust decisions.
Risk analytics
Over the past decade, risk management has experienced dramatic transformations in many industries. Regulation requirements suggest this trend will continue in the future. We assist our clients with the impact of these new regulatory requirements and help them to better manage market volatility and liquidity risks. Whether you are a financial institution or a corporation, through the implementation of advanced statistical models, our teams can help you manage and optimise your risks. This can cover areas such as the credit process from origination to monitoring, treasury management and balance sheet risks in trading operations or compliance with regulatory requirements.
