About Celanese: Celanese is a technology and specialty materials/chemical company based in Irving, Texas.
Solution: I designed a Shared Services Solution to create two SSC locations for them – 1 in Dallas (at HQ) and 1 in Budapest, Hungary and transitioned all finance & accounting processes back to either one of those two locations.
Benefits: Company saved approximately 45% of its staffing cost as it relates to finance & accounting. Also, the close cycle went from 15 days down to approximately 5 days. Other improvement plans were underway to further reduce the closing cycle down to 3 days, but they are implemented after my role on the project was completed.
