Lean Accounting: The strategic role of finance in creating value for companies

Lean principles enable companies and organisations to generate customer value, remove obstacles, engage people, and continuously improve.
 
To achieve this in a systemic and sustainable way, it is necessary for administration and finance departments to be aligned with what happens in operations and all business processes.
Finance processes, indeed, contribute to the strategic dimension of Lean Management.

To explore the lean transformation of a company’s management control system, this book explains in a simple and clear manner what it means to bring lean thinking into administrative and financial processes.

This book is a suitable read for CFOs, controllers, accountants, KPOs, lean agents, lean system experts, or novices.

"I firmly believe that administration, finance, and control departments can play a decisive role in supporting companies to achieve excellent results and continuously improve their performance; but for this to happen effectively, it is essential that this function, as well as the entire organisation, begins to think in terms of processes.
It is my hope that this book will provide the foundation both for those who already have lean experience and want to learn more about how this management system can be applied in the field of accounting, and for those who, coming from that area, want to approach the lean world and understand how accounting processes can also be streamlined, made faster, more effective, and of greater value to customers."
