Phase 01 of 08

Goals & KPIs

Set financial and accounting goals and measurable metrics — before a single system is considered.

Result of this phase: Target catalog with 3–5 measurable financial KPIs (baseline + target value)

Guiding questions

What should measurably improve — duration of the month-end closing, document processing time, degree of automation?

Which accounting processes take up the most time today?

Do the goals align with the company planning and the planned growth?

Checklist

Must = essential step in this phase. Once all must-have items are checked, the phase is complete (green dot in the navigation).

Pitfalls

The accounting system is understood only as a mandatory exercise of IT

No measurable goals — only 'less paperwork'

Quick wins

Establish baseline today: current completion time, proportion of manual bookings
