Faint Edge Advantage company information, Employees & Contact Information

John Walker’s Faint Edge Advantage contracting and consulting practice specialises in assisting companies with their Business Performance Management. Offering an array of service to allow end to end corporate teams to add real value to company performance. Management Accounting: Holding a number of senior rolls in Accounting and Finance teams, John knows the value of transforming data into information. Without this skill, presenting financial information in an easy to understand and readable format is often a difficult process. Understanding the needs of the report users and the decision-making models required, John is easily able to determine the delicate balance between reporting form and function. Specialising in budget, forecasts and planning, John has designed and managed countless planning projects reducing resourcing inputs and increasing information quality. John’s approach is to involve only those in the planning processes who are accountable for the numbers on a business as usual basis. Once identified, those accountable are guided to focus on what’s important and steered clear of ‘getting lost in the detail’. Remember, every time you add an individual or input section to a planning cycle, you exponentially increase the effort required to manage that process. Business workflow process facilitation and improvement: John has the proven ability to develop highly efficient business processes with a specific emphasis on supporting accounting and finance teams.  Facilitating small to medium cross functional groups, John explores the bottlenecks and roadblocks causing inefficiencies and delays within an organisation. Culminating in an interactive and collaborative discussion, compromises and insights are developed and evolve from within the team. Ultimately management are provided with a comprehensive document detailing the process including outcomes and findings with clear strategic goals. TM1 and Planning Analytics administration and consultant: John’s strong operational knowledge of TM1 / Planning analytics is the result of administering models, managing complex projects and implementation programs since 1994 for diverse companies across several industries. Having experienced both sides of the commercial fence as far as TM1 and Planning Analytics is concerned, John experience uniquely positions him as a sort after recourse knowing both what companies need and what TM1 can offer. John can provide the administration function for TM1 software on a business as usual basis over short to medium engagements. However, working with The BMA Group, John can coordinate large complex model upgrades and implementations should a customers requirement arise.
