PricewaterhouseCoopers Receives 'Strong Positive' Rating in Analyst Firm's Global Finance Management Consulting Services MarketScope Report
The highest possible rating in the MarketScope, a "Strong Positive" is viewed as a provider who can be considered "a strong choice for strategic investments"
NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) announced today that it has received a "Strong Positive" rating in Gartner's report entitled MarketScope for Global Finance Management Consulting Services(i). Gartner's MarketScope assesses the global capabilities of nine leading finance management consulting service providers. Evaluation criteria include customer experience, market understanding, market responsiveness, product/service, offering strategy, geographical capabilities and vertical-industry strategy.
"Strong Positive" is the highest possible rating assessment in the MarketScope and, according to Gartner, a Strong Positive is viewed as a provider of strategic products, services or solutions where customers can continue with planned investments and potential customers can consider this vendor a strong choice for strategic investments.
"Our focus is always on our clients and how we can best serve them, and we believe Gartner's findings reflect our dedication to client service," said Martin Petry, PwC partner and Global Finance Consulting Leader. "We bring deep and mature finance consulting capabilities to the market, and continue to grow and enhance our global Consulting practice to bring our clients the 'right' teams with the 'right' expertise to meet their unique needs and requirements."
The full set of finance management services covers the entire service life cycle: assess, design, build and run. Finance management consulting services focus only on the assess and design phases, and they encompass any type of consulting directed at improving or enhancing the finance function and its performance. These consulting services may include:
- Finance transformation
- Change management
- Performance improvement
- Business process improvement
- Finance advisory
- Governance, risk and compliance
- Finance and accounting (F&A) shared services
According to the MarketScope report, Gartner research and reference checks indicate that buyers most want a mix of finance and IT expertise in their service providers, and that "soft skills," such as relationship chemistry and knowledge transfers, are important to clients' satisfaction and their propensity to rehire or recommend providers.
PwC US Advisory partner Mike Boyle, said "Our finance management consulting teams around the world work effectively together to help our multinational clients address the complexities of an ever-changing global business environment. We feel the Gartner "strong positive" rating is a confirmation that we are successfully helping our clients by working collaboratively with them to assess and enhance their business and finance processes -- integrating people, process and technology to help transform their finance function'."
