Global Business Services & Shared Services Design

Centralize smart. Scale efficiently.

Target operating model design, location strategy, and GBS implementation for mid-market firms.

THE CHALLENGE

You Need Fortune 500 Efficiency Without the Fortune 500 Price Tag

Your finance team is spread across offices, geographies, or business units — each running slightly different processes, using different templates, hitting different deadlines. The cost per transaction is higher than it needs to be. You know shared services could fix it. You've seen the benchmarks.

But every proposal you've received was designed for a company three times your size. An 18-month implementation timeline. A $5M+ investment. A transformation program with more consultants than you have finance staff. You evaluated it, ran the numbers, and put it on the shelf.

The mid-market shared services gap is real: the model works, but it needs to be right-sized for organizations with $200M–$2B in revenue — where you can't afford a dedicated GBS leadership team, where location strategy has to balance cost with practical talent availability, and where change management means bringing 50 people along, not 5,000.

EvoNova designs GBS models that fit your reality. We've built shared services at mid-market scale, navigated the location trade-offs firsthand, and know exactly which parts of the Fortune 500 playbook apply to you — and which ones to skip entirely.
