Against a backdrop of fast-moving workforce challenges, an energy services client had a temporary vacancy for a senior position in their finance department. This vacancy coincided with their year end close and external audit preparation which meant the client needed an experienced individual to join the team urgently.
Managing talent in the workforce landscape of today means organisations need to redefine the way work gets done and create innovative talent ecosystems that build engaged, enabled and agile workforces. At PwC we focus on solving important problems which led us to provide a top tier finance specialist from our team who seamlessly assimilated into the client’s finance department and successfully handled the nuances of the financial year end and audit preparation. Using our experience in workforce strategy we were able to guide the client through an effective handover process from the incumbent staff member to our PwC resource and subsequently to the incoming staff member.
Due to the effortless collaboration between PwC and the client, they were able to experience a seamless transition. The temporary team member integrated into their existing organisation and processes. The stated objectives of the role were successfully achieved and they were able to complete financial year end and audit commitments on time.
