Our Approach

Achieving a World Class Financial Operation

World-class financial operations require comprehensive data access and process excellence. They are fundamentally founded on data based upon single sources of truth. While this concept is simple in principle, it is often difficult for the fast-paced and complex telecom and media firms of today to access and process such data efficiently.

The Northridge Group will help your financial and operational leadership teams define and establish optimized processes to ensure financial metrics are visible from quote to cash…from business case to implementation. Your organization will leverage the deep telecom and media industry experience our seasoned consultants have refined while successfully transforming access ordering (ASR) processes, complex sales pricing and RFP quoting, CABS carrier billing processes and tooling for our telecom carrier, cable and tower infrastructure clients.

What Does Financial Operations Excellence Look Like?

  • Does senior management have the ability and confidence to rely on a single source of truth for all financial and operational outcomes?
  • Are your processes optimized through appropriate technology that enables required governance and controls?
  • Are there still stand-alone, siloed organizations, functions or processes that continue to be difficult to pull into corporate data streams and therefore align with the corporate mission to drive it forward?
  • Are critical business cases and the management of scarce capital resources tracked throughout their life cycles with results reflecting on the sponsor organizations?
  • Do existing tools and processes, often fraught with complexity of legacy systems or prior corporate acquisitions, allow an accurate view of all direct and shared costs?
  • Does your capital planning process have financial rigor and consider multiple sensitivities? Is it followed-up with a tight program of validating the success of the business case?
  • Are your staff enabled with data query and analysis tools and training to drive success and efficiency from your finance team?
