Strengthening CFO Organizations with a Unified Accounting System

In today's fast-paced business environment, enhancing corporate value has become a pressing concern among stakeholders and capital markets. To address this, Layers Consulting, led by CEO Hiroshi Sugino, will host an online seminar titled "Strengthening CFO Organizations and Addressing Workforce Shortages through the Introduction of a Unified Accounting System" on September 11, 2025.

The Importance of a Unified Accounting System

The need for an advanced management strategy, including the fortification of FP&A (Financial Planning and Analysis) functions, is more crucial than ever. The necessity of robust numerical management and initiatives across corporate groups has also taken center stage. Collecting and utilizing accounting data across group companies is vital for effective decision-making and enhancing group operations.

However, many finance and accounting departments within group companies are currently hindered by delays in digital transformation (DX), coupled with an aging workforce that exacerbates existing challenges. Therefore, establishing a unified accounting system for the group is essential for improving corporate value and addressing human resource shortages.

Seminar Overview

during the seminar, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Takasuke Toda, the Executive Officer and Head of Financial Strategy at Tokyu Corporation. Mr. Toda will discuss the implementation of a unified accounting system across the group's subsidiaries, the business process outsourcing (BPO) of accounting tasks, and essential points of financial operations.

Expert Insights

Layers Consulting will share its extensive experience in the introduction of accounting systems, transformation of accounting operations, and enhancement of CFO organizations.
