Finance, Accounting and Cost Management Training from a Lean Perspective
In most companies, finance, accounting, planning and control processes are run with traditional cost logic; long closing cycles, invoices awaiting approval, duplicate checks and reporting errors cost both time and cash. Grupas' 2-day certified lean accounting and lean finance training aims to integrate lean thinking into financial operations processes, eliminate non-value-adding steps, establish a value stream based management approach and make the financial results of lean transformation visible.
The program covers, on a hands-on basis, the principles of lean economics, the 8 types of waste in financial operations, value analysis and calculation formulas, 6-step value stream mapping (AS-IS / TO-BE), lean financial accounting techniques, a comparison of traditional accounting with lean accounting, and a company-specific lean financial operations transformation plan. The lean accounting practices of pioneering companies such as Danaher, the packaging industry and Toyota Financial Services, along with a real collection (DSO) optimization case, are examined as examples.
