EY helped KCOM with an end-to-end transformation of its finance function to help deliver on its new, agile business strategy.
KCOM needed to transform its finance operations fast, without the cost, disruption or long timelines of a full ERP replacement. EY delivered a flexible Managed Services solution that combined finance, tax, data and technology capabilities into one integrated model, enabling faster reporting, better insights and a future‑proof finance function.
Through a collaborative approach, EY teams deployed new digital tools, including Microsoft‑powered dashboards, streamlined end‑to‑end processes, and embedded continuous improvement across the finance organization. The result: quicker month‑end close, improved financial visibility, reduced operating costs and over £4m in avoided capital expenditure.
With EY Managed Services, KCOM now has:
A modern, responsive finance operation
Scalable finance and accounting capabilities
Faster access to accurate financial data
Technology-enabled reporting and automation
A stable platform for long-term growth
Watch how EY’s Managed Services helped KCOM unlock value, accelerate transformation, and build a finance function ready for the future.

Investing in stocks, cryptocurrencies, influencer activities – how are the most modern income sources taxed and declared?
A useful conversation with Stelyana Dimcheva, Senior Manager at EY Bulgaria.
Welcome to the NAVI world where change is nonlinear, accelerated, volatile and interconnected. Explore how the NAVI world is shaping new megatrends. https://www.ey.com/megatrends
From tariffs to ChatGPT, COVID-19 to the Great Resignation, extreme weather to conflicts, supply chain shocks and unforeseen knock-on impacts — if the last few years have felt like a roller-coaster ride, in which a succession of surprises has shaken your business, you’re not alone.
We are now in a state of affairs we call the NAVI world, after the four characteristics that distinguish it from the pre-pandemic operating environment. This is a world in which change is increasingly nonlinear, accelerated, volatile and interconnected.
For leaders, the increased complexity of the NAVI world creates new imperatives and challenges. Existing best practices and ways of operating — everything from risk management to transformation and even the values and principles around which your enterprise is organized — are no longer fit for purpose and need to be fundamentally rethought. Organizations will thrive by identifying and making no-regret moves for the long term, while simultaneously transforming the enterprise for agility in the near term.
This film reveals how today’s world differs from the pre-pandemic environment, and why leaders must rethink strategies to turn disruption into opportunity.
