The Strategic IQ Difference

Profitability & Cost Management

Consolidated financial results must include visibility to underlying drivers that provide insightful analysis and actionable decision making.  Strategic IQ’s proven methodologies identify key business drivers that impact revenue and costs across the various dimensions of the organization and incorporate into the system design.  The results are a system that enables detailed analysis including an automated bridge for variance analysis down to the product, customer, region level.

Profit and Cost Management is a vastly under-served function within the finance space that can unlock significant business value. With the ever-changing supply chain landscape and international trade laws, the need to effectively manage material and other manufacturing costs is critical to achieving optimal profit margins.
