This involved:

Managing all aspects of the pricing and invoicing of the contract during the transition including:

Preparing a gap analysis of invoicing requirements between old and new contract
Working with the outsourced provider to implement changes to invoice structure and design per the requirements of the new contract. This also involved an audit to ensure compliance
Preparing financial models enabling allocation of enterprise service costs to business groups and monitoring and reviewing these models as required
Establishing a working group to review Allocation Model methodology and principles with a view to refining models for future years under the contract
Preparing and communicating preliminary and final budget advice to all business groups and sites and to the outsourced provider for invoicing purposes.

Providing commercial advice on the transitioning of services from old provider to new outsourced provider and monitoring/mitigating any issues
Monitoring project budget and preparation of accruals.

The work performed was critical in ensuring the business was fully informed of the cost of the new services under the agreement.
