Situation

Your month-end process likely drags on for days or weeks, consuming valuable team resources that should be spent on analysis. You face pressure to report numbers faster without sacrificing accuracy.

Problem

A slow close cycle delays critical insights, meaning leadership is making decisions based on stale data. It also burns out your finance team, leaving them with no capacity for value-add forecasting or business partnering.

Activities

Our expert reviews your current close workflow, identifying bottlenecks, redundant steps, and manual workarounds. We redesign the process map, automate standard journals, and implement a strict closing calendar with clear accountabilities.

Outcome

You achieve a significantly faster close (often reducing days by 30-50%), releasing your team to focus on forward-looking analysis. Leadership receives timely reports, enabling faster reaction to trading performance.

Dave Porter

Managing Director, AFA Insurance

"They were prompt, professional and helpful from the start - only took 3-4 business days to receive applicants, interview and successfully hire an excellent candidate. It was the best experience we have had with a recruitment firm for many years."

Rachel Harris Hall

Head of People & Culture, Chatime AU

"The speed of service is outstanding and not like anything I have experienced with any other agencies. The recruiter kept me informed at all times and was able to pivot quickly when our brief changed."
