Examples of finance organizational models include:

Decentralized delivery model. Each program/sector/region manages its own financial advisory and transactional activities. The corporate finance group establishes overall strategic direction and policies/standards, provides functional direction, and advises senior management.
Mixed model. Corporate finance group delivers all financial transactional activities, corporate financial activities and provides functional direction; each program/ sector/region has its own financial advisory team.
Centralized distributed model. The corporate finance group delivers all financial advisory and transactional activities on behalf of programs/ sectors/ regions; financial advisors reporting to the CFO at corporate are dedicated to branches/ sectors/ regions.
