ESG reporting refers to the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative data explaining a business’s added value in these areas: environmental, social, and corporate governance.

What are the challenges to being a female leader in tech, and how can starters learn from leaders to be successful in their careers? In celebration of International Women's Day, we wanted to hear from women in technology, specifically on the topics of diversity in the workplace, work-life balance, and mentoring. In this interview, we speak to Susan Gittings: leader, consultant and mother.

We are excited to announce the combination of Jigsaw Advisory and inlumi.

Working under one brand, one name and one common set of values, we are one of a handful of companies that truly understand technology-enabled change and the impact it can have. With a team of 200+ people distributed across EMEA, we are now positioned to deliver digital transformation for the Office of the CFO – advisory, technology implementation and managed operations.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to budgeting or forecasting. Some organisations keep it relatively high-level using a subset of accounts, while others conduct planning at the same levels of actuals. There is one common denominator, however: speed.

At inlumi Inspiration Day 2021, team members voted to support the building of a vulture restaurant to enable the return of endangered vultures in Namibia. This rewilding project by our sustainability partner, Mossy Earth, provides a safe and reliable source of food for these magnificent and ecologically important species.

When I started my first internship in a Finance department in 2005, we actively used Excel for most of our Finance processes. I am amazed that after all these years, Excel is still prevalent as a data source for reporting. Although Excel certainly has its place, a performance management solution is imperative for carrying out complex financial processes, enabling Finance to become a true business partner.

Nathan is a Managing Consultant at inlumi and has been part of the team in the Netherlands since 2016. We interviewed Nathan to learn what drove him to become a consultant and what he enjoys most about his role. Understanding people is a key part of Nathan's work as a consultant, with the aim of enabling organisations – and the people that work there – to perform at their best.

Finance and the rest of the business are collaborating more and more, and advances in technology mean that we now have solutions that can support organisation-wide planning. Are you ready for xP&A?

Last year, Rob Wang joined inlumi as an Analyst in our London office. We interviewed Rob to hear about why he joined inlumi, how inlumi has supported his development, and how it has been to get to know the team during challenging times.

You may or may not be familiar with the “catch 22” idiom. It is where one is trapped between two contradictory conditions, a somewhat inescapable paradox. It is a situation that I frequently come across when discussing the benefit of an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution. Organisations are in desperate need of a tool that streamlines their FP&A processes, but the team involved shudders at the thought of implementing a solution.
