• Map revenue and profitability: Build a clear understanding of revenue streams, margins, profitability and the drivers behind performance across entities and regions.
  
• Assess resource efficiency: Challenge whether current teams, investments and resources are appropriately sized and generating sufficient business value.
  
• Establish forecasting discipline: Build reliable budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and scenario-planning foundations.
  
• Strengthen reporting: Establish the financial KPIs, dashboards and reporting needed for leadership and Board decision-making.
  
• Create the financial roadmap: Define the priorities, controls, systems and processes required to build a strong finance function for ENIXEN's next stage of growth.
