Reporting as a management instrument, not a report for its own sake.

Seven disciplines that form one system. Clients usually order 2-3, the rest follow organically — without them, the first ones don't hold.

01 Diagnostic of the finance state

Not a certified audit — an honest diagnostic: where the company is, what works, and what runs on manual bookkeeping and intuition. The deliverable is a map of problem zones and priorities — the foundation for any further work.

METHODOLOGY

  • Data, regulations and pain-points audit
  • Cash flow map across the business
  • Finance function breakdown — who, what, how
  • List of problem zones and priorities
  • Recommendations — where to start

DELIVERABLES

  • Diagnostic document
  • Process and bottleneck map
  • Priority action plan for 90 days
  • Owner-facing presentation
  • Readiness checklist for systemic work

02 Management accounting and reporting system

The core of the entire finance system. One interface where the owner sees in ten minutes what each line of business really earns and where cash leaks. Includes unit economics — contribution margin per SKU, segment margin, cohort analysis — built on accounting data, without separate Excel files.

METHODOLOGY

  • Management chart of accounts — standardized
  • ERP / Excel feed integration into a central store
  • Dashboard with drill-down from total → SKU/transaction
  • Cohort-by-channel LTV and CAC split
  • Contribution margin per SKU/customer
  • Close SOP + team roles

DELIVERABLES

  • Monthly management P&L
  • Profitability per business line
  • Cohort table with LTV trend by channel
  • Multi-currency & multi-entity view
  • Team SOP document

03 Budgeting, planning and financial modelling

Not a deck for investors but a working tool: quarterly rolling forecast, 12–18 month scenario planning, sensitivity models. Plan vs actual auto-compared — variance visible weekly, not at quarter-end.

METHODOLOGY

  • Bottom-up driver-based recalculation
  • Quarterly rolling forecast (12-18 months)
  • Three-scenario planning (base/optimistic/pessimistic)
  • Plan-vs-actual automation
  • KPI cascade from company → team

DELIVERABLES

  • Driver-based budget model
  • Rolling forecast updated monthly
  • Sensitivity modelling
  • Variance analysis report (weekly)
  • Investor / board deck
TYPICAL DURATION8-12 WEEKS1ST FORECASTT+45 DAYSFOR WHOMPRE/POST-RAISE

04 Cash flow management

Cash flow as a decision tool, not a post-fact report. The owner sees account balance one, two, three months ahead. Cash gaps visible in advance — when they can still be avoided. Decisions on major spend, dividends, investments — based on the model.

METHODOLOGY

  • 13-week rolling cash flow (refreshed weekly)
  • Inflow categories: A/B/C with probability weighting
  • Outflow split: fixed / variable / discretionary
  • Operational reserve threshold with auto-trigger
  • Three-scenario stress testing

DELIVERABLES

  • 13-week report in real-time
  • ERP integration (AR/AP/payroll)
  • Discretionary auto-pause logic
  • Cash floor forecast with alerts
  • Banking facility readiness pack

05 Group consolidation

When the business is a group of entities, management accounting belongs at group level. Consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow with inter-company eliminations. The owner sees the group as one business — and each entity separately, in one interface.

METHODOLOGY

  • Tax-efficient cash pooling with master/sub structure
  • IC-tag system for inter-company invoices
  • Standardized COA across entities
  • Auto-elimination at close (not Excel)
  • Group treasury as a separate function

DELIVERABLES

  • Group P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
  • Real-time IC reconciliation
  • Master/sub cash structure
  • Group close at T+7
  • Owner view: group + each entity

06 Business process audit and configuration

Reporting is only as accurate as the processes feeding it. We set up where data is born and who owns it — not just inside finance, but across the company. Each person knows their task in the flow. This is the foundation reporting stands on.

METHODOLOGY

  • Process audit + bottleneck mapping
  • Data map: where born, who owns
  • Hard cutoffs + materiality threshold
  • Estimate-then-adjust for accruals
  • Role clarification + KPI per seat
  • Regulations at company level, not just finance

DELIVERABLES

  • Monthly close SOP (T+5 by policy)
  • Role + responsibility matrix
  • Approval workflow (with SLA)
  • Cross-department data collection regs
  • Hiring brief for new positions
TYPICAL DURATION3-5 MONTHST+14 → T+5 PATH6 MONTHSFOR WHOMSCALE-UP

07 Custom software for decision-making

When standard tools aren't enough — we build solutions for the specific business: dashboards, models and calculators tuned to the decisions the owner makes most often.

METHODOLOGY

  • Owner interview: which decisions recur
  • Map of input data and its sources
  • Calculation prototype — Excel or no-code
  • Stable form — Sheets, Looker, custom
  • Integration with business data sources

DELIVERABLES

  • Decision-specific dashboards
  • Calculators and models (sensitivity, scenario)
  • Integration with ERP / CRM / inventory
  • Documentation: how to maintain and extend
  • Knowledge transfer to the team
