Driving Efficiency, Scalability, and Innovation

Starting Point

CG Infinity was asked to deploy a C-Suite level interim role during a transition period. With the client and industry facing increasing competitive pressures and operational complexities, the appointment of an interim C-Suite resource brought significant expertise and experience as well as a fresh perspective to optimize processes and enhance financial performance.

The engagement included a deep dive into functional back-office processes such as enrollments, customer invoicing, remittance processing, credit, collections, commissions, and assisting in key areas outlined below. The largest challenge was how to improve the “invoice to cash” timeframe due to the complexity of the product structures the client offered, and the market and technology constraints that inherently existed within the client. This included a review to determine if there were reporting/data issues, a break in the process, or an overall process issue. Through iterative interactions with key stakeholders, we were able to effectively assess process improvements and implement short-term technology improvements to improve financial performance and set the stage for the medium and long term to continue closing the gap on “invoice to cash”.

The successful engagement also allowed the client the opportunity to search for and identify the best permanent candidate while maintaining and improving back-office functions.
