I just spoke with the Controller of a $1B company implementing a new ERP. His # 1 concern? RESOURCING. 👀 Here's why: Without proper PROJECT resourcing, there will be: -missed go-live dates -overspending on future fixes -a disappointing configuration and end user experience Without proper BACKFILL resourcing, there will be: -missed deadlines -resignations -backlog The Alliance Group will be their stopgap for on-demand, flexible resourcing on all fronts including: -Project Management -Accounting Staff Augmentation (from our W-2 team of Big 4 CPAs) -Interim Flex Staffing (for ad hoc project demands across IT and Accounting) If you are in the same spot and resourcing is keeping you up at night, I'm happy to talk through a tailored approached based on your situation or connect you with peer organizations who have navigated a similar transformation journey to talk best practices and pitfalls. DM me or reach out over email at bgordon@thealliancegroup.com. How has proper or improper resourcing impacted your finance transformation journey? #transformation #financetransformation #ERP #implementations #resourcing #projectmanagement #financialsystems #accounting
