Financial control.
Everything a financial control department does, run by our team to a published monthly timetable: close, reconciliations, controls, compliance and reporting.
What we do
The financial controller's office is the engine room of any finance function: closing the month, keeping the ledger honest, paying the right people the right amounts, and making sure the numbers that reach management can be trusted. We run that engine room for you.
Each month follows a published close timetable. Ledgers are reconciled to the bank and to subledgers, suspense items are investigated rather than rolled forward, the compliance calendar is worked through, and management accounts land on the agreed day with a variance commentary.
We also build the control environment around the numbers: approval limits, segregation of duties, policies and procedures, and the documentation your auditors will ask for, so year-end is an exercise in confirmation rather than discovery.

Who this is for
Questions we hear most
What does an outsourced financial control department cover?
Month-end close on a published timetable, account reconciliations, controls over payments and approvals, and compliance filings, run by our team to a standard you can audit. You see the same reports you would expect from an in-house department.
How fast can our month-end close get?
A disciplined close lands in the first week of the month, not the last. The speed comes from doing reconciliations continuously instead of saving them for month end, and from a close checklist that is actually followed.
Do we have to replace our existing finance staff?
No. We take a defined scope and work alongside your team, and part of the engagement is usually lifting their standard: better working papers, better reconciliation discipline, fewer surprises.
