In the PwC survey “2019 CFO Priorities” carried out among 420 French Financial Directors, focus on performance management ranks top of their 2019 priorities. It is expected that performance management will stay a top priority for the next three years, regardless of the company’s size. In light of this, PwC France joined together with EMAsphere to offer clients a digital performance management tool.
EMAsphere: a 360° performance-piloting tool
PwC France has chosen to unite with EMAsphere to offer its clients a 360° tool to manage their performance. The tool, fully digital, is a platform that analyses financial data, but also take into account KPIs that are outside the traditional field of accountancy analysis, i.e. specific operational KPIs relating to the company’s activity (e.g. employee productivity, transport mileage, average basket or transaction, hotel rate, etc). The cloud management solution has become a go-to tool in supporting the decision-making process.
PwC France strengthens its support to business owners
65% of small and medium sized businesses expect that their accountant will advise them on their management tools. A clear sign that the role of the accountant is going through major change. Real business support and advisory, not just regular bookkeeping, is demanded by business owners.
“Our priority at PwC France is to contribute to the success of business owners. It is this focus that our performance management offer is based with tailor-made assistance to significantly, quantifiably and sustainably improve the organisation and efficiency of the company’s management system”, says Laurent Gravier, Partner in charge of the Enterprise Advisory Services at PwC France.
“We are delighted to contribute to the PwC service strategy for business owners. Our solution is a perfect fit with the global evolution and change of the chartered accountant’s tasks”, confirms Didier Vankeerberghen, co-CEO of EMAsphere.
A new step in the digital transformation
The EMAsphere solution perfectly answers the need of business owners to have at their disposal a performance-management tool anywhere, anytime with and internet connection. “The choice for this partnership is a new step towards the digitalisation of our service offer”, Laurent Gravier observes. “At PwC France, investing in the digital transformation is one of our strategic priorities”.
