FP&A Consulting for European Finance Teams

The Problem We Solve

Most European mid-market finance teams are trapped in a planning cycle that works against them: annual budgets locked in Q4, actuals that arrive two weeks after month-end, and forecast models built in Excel that only the person who built them can trust.

The result is a CFO who is always looking backward, a board that receives reports instead of insight, and a finance team spending 70% of their time on data consolidation instead of analysis.

PMG Services replaces that cycle. We implement FP&A systems that compress close cycles, replace static budgets with live rolling forecasts, and surface the KPIs that actually drive business decisions — directly in front of the people who need them.

What We Deliver

• Driver-based rolling forecasts (12–18 month horizon)
• Monthly and quarterly close-cycle automation
• Real-time KPI dashboards in Power BI or Tableau
• Variance and scenario analysis frameworks
• Board and management reporting packages
• P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow integration
• Headcount and CapEx planning models
• Finance team enablement and process documentation

Our FP&A Approach

We start with your existing data infrastructure — ERP exports, accounting system, spreadsheet models — and map the gap between what your finance team currently produces and what your decision-makers actually need.

From there we redesign the planning model around business drivers rather than accounting line items: volume, price, headcount, and operational levers that managers can actually control and forecast with confidence.

Every engagement ends with a finance team that runs the new model independently — not a dependency on a consultant's spreadsheet.

Technology We Use

• Power BI — executive KPI dashboards
• Anaplan — enterprise FP&A and driver modelling
• Excel / Python — financial model automation
• SQL / Snowflake — data layer consolidation
• SAP, Oracle, NetSuite — ERP source integration
• Azure — cloud data infrastructure

Who This Is For

Our FP&A consulting engagements are best suited for mid-market companies across Europe — typically €30M to €500M in revenue — that have outgrown spreadsheet-based planning but have not yet invested in a dedicated FP&A platform or function.

We work across manufacturing, SaaS, financial services, and professional services. If your CFO is spending more time building reports than interpreting them, this is the right conversation to have.
