Accounting

Lean Accounting applies Lean principles to organizational accounting processes, ensuring financial operations bolster and amplify an organization’s Lean strategy. Traditional accounting promotes dysfunctional Lean behaviors and often looks back, but Lean Accounting acts as a proactive navigator, providing the timely and relevant information necessary for precise decision-making.
