Introduction
A leading US-based company providing communication solutions approached Corient Business Solutions to support their Commission, Taxation, and Accounts Payable (AP) processes. They were looking for a cost-effective solution and a business continuity plan (BCP) to streamline their operations. With frequent process changes and limited documentation, they needed a reliable, skilled team to manage their critical financial functions efficiently.
The Problem
Upon an initial review, several key problems were identified:

- Their finance team needed a structured BCP (Business Continuity Plan) to manage workload fluctuations and ensure seamless financial operations.
- There were no existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or documentation, leading to inconsistencies in managing AP, Commission, and Taxation processes
Corient Solution
To address these challenges, Corient implemented the following solutions:
- Skill Gap Analysis & Dedicated Resource Deployment – Corient conducted a competency mapping exercise to assess the expertise required and assigned a dedicated team to work directly with the client’s finance department. This ensured the right skills were aligned with their needs. 1.

- Regular Check-Ins for Process Optimization – Corient established bi-weekly performance syncs with the client to discuss workflow improvements, address challenges, and maintain efficiency, ensuring smooth financial operations.
Challenges Faced
Upon an initial review, several key challenges were identified:

- The client’s requirements frequently changed, impacting resource planning and onboarding timelines.

Overcoming Challenges

Result Achieved
Through the tailored solutions provided by Corient, the client experienced several notable benefits:
