Business Challenge

The transformation was further driven by the need to establish a single chart of accounts for uniform reporting, comply with stricter private equity (KKR) governance, and enable real-time integration with booking systems for accurate cost tracking and global revenue recognition. Key priorities included – creating a scalable, cloud-based finance platform with localisation support across 20+ countries and streamlining intercompany recharges and reconciliations, both within and across borders.
