Business Process Optimization For finance teams of 2–40 people

Fewer hand-offs, fewer spreadsheets, a close that finishes on the 5th

We map how your finance function actually works today, connect the systems that should already be talking to each other, and automate the steps that do not need a person. Then we document it so it stays fixed.

A typical accounts-payable rebuild

The same invoice, before and after

An illustrative example of a typical rebuild for a small distribution business on QuickBooks and NetSuite processing a few hundred invoices a month. Timings are per invoice and indicative.

Before β€” 7 manual steps

Paper and PDF invoices, three inboxes, approval by email, keyed into two systems.

1Invoice arrives by email or postvaries
2Printed and coded by hand6 min
3Forwarded to manager for approval1–4 days
4Keyed into NetSuite5 min
5Re-keyed into QuickBooks for the bank4 min
6Payment run built in a spreadsheetweekly, 3 hrs
7Manual reconciliation at month end2 days
Hands-on time per invoice~22 min

After β€” 3 steps, two of them automatic

One intake address, AI capture and coding, approval in Slack, NetSuite as the single source.

What we rebuild

Five areas where finance teams lose the most time

Most engagements start with one of these and expand once the first fix has paid for itself.

Discuss your workflow

ERP integration and data unification

Accounting software, ERP, CRM, payroll and e-commerce platforms connected into one flow. No batch files, no re-keying, one system of record.

How an engagement runs

Six weeks from first call to a documented process

Most rebuilds fit this shape. Larger ERP integrations run longer, and we tell you that at the review stage rather than after.

Week 1

Process review

Two working sessions with your finance lead. We map every step from document arrival to reconciled ledger, time each one and list the systems involved.

Week 2

Future-state design and quote

You get a one-page before/after map like the one above, the tooling we propose, the hours it removes and a fixed price. No commitment until this point.

Weeks 3–5

Build and connect

Integrations configured, automations tested against real invoices and payouts, exceptions routed to the right people. We run old and new in parallel for one cycle.

Week 6

Hand-over, SOPs and training

Written procedures, a recorded walkthrough and a 30-day support window. Most clients then move onto a bookkeeping package so we keep running it for them.
