At Roche, our Finance Centers of Excellence have led the way in breaking down silos, removing hierarchies, and working in new ways. We’ve learned from our successes and from the things that haven’t gone so well. We’re better equipped to look at interfaces and synergies and to understand the risks of creating new silos.

• Drives process improvement, digitalization, and automation initiatives (e.g., MEC and accrual management optimization) to enhance operational efficiency and financial accuracy
• Continuously look for opportunities to optimize our efficiency and effectiveness in how we operate by asking where to Stop work, where to Automate, where to Scale and where to Transfer if the work is not in the remits (SAST). This is with the focus on FP&A & MEC work packages.
