Brendan Tanner left his role as divisional CFO at KPMG to join specialist advisory and restructuring firm McGrathNicol as head of finance in 2016. Within six months, he had concluded that his new employer鈥檚 ERP was wholly inefficient. Expense claims had paper-based components and were time-consuming for the firm鈥檚 hundreds of consultants. It took between 12 and 15 minutes of touchpoints to enter and approve a single supplier invoice. Timesheets, which are the lifeblood of professional services firms, were onerous and rigid. Reporting was inflexible and aspects of project management, such as billing clients, was incredibly slow. In a world where time is money, he summed up the inefficiencies as 鈥渉orrifying.鈥

鈥淚t was a one-size-fits-all solution that had been developed ten years earlier, when McGrathNicol was primarily an insolvency firm,鈥 says Tanner. 鈥淚t had since grown into being a multidisciplinary practice but there had been next to no changes made to the ERP.鈥

As a fresh set of eyes with solid experience in systems, Tanner put forward a successful case for change. However, he recalls beginning the project with a certain amount of trepidation.

鈥淚鈥檇 run projects before, but nothing of this size,鈥 he says. 鈥淭he S/4HANA public cloud version was very new and there were only a couple of organisations in ANZ who were using it. There wasn鈥檛 a lot of reference checks available and implementation partner knowledge was quite slim.鈥

Brendan Tanner oversaw the implementation of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system 麻豆原创 S/4HANA at a time when few organisations in the region had done so. He shares his learnings about the major undertaking with CFO Magazine. Read more at CFO Magazine
