The Big Picture

As your new finance department, Driven Insights takes a thoughtful, systematic approach to building a long-term partnership to help you achieve markedly improved business results.

 

Our knowledge of your industry, combined with what we learn about your unique challenges and objectives, allows us to quickly tailor the relationship to meet your current and anticipated needs. You pay a fixed monthly fee tied to the level of service you require.

PERSONALIZED Virtualized DELIVERY

We manage your finance department remotely and exclusively from our US-based offices, using our cloud-based technology platform and secure, proprietary workflows. 

Let us show you how we've overcome the day-to-day snags you anticipate remote delivery would surface. Prefer face-to-face? So do we. But we also like to save you money, so we need to balance the benefits of access to tremendous talent with the efficiency of remote delivery.

To begin the relationship, Driven Insights worked with my team to determine our needs and put all the elements of a strong accounting department in place. They then turned their attention to developing the monthly reports and key metrics that today ensure we are focused on the right priorities at all times.
