Month-end
Closing the books takes far longer than it should
Month-end relies on one or two people, manual checks, and last-minute fixes. If the wrong person is unavailable, confidence in the close drops immediately.
Reconciliation
Finance still relies on spreadsheets to validate the system
The system produces numbers, but the finance team has to prove them elsewhere. Excel fills the gap the system should cover.
Inventory
Stock values don't match operational reality
Reports technically exist, but finance lacks confidence in valuation, movement accuracy, or cost flows — leading to manual adjustments outside the system.
Reporting
Reports are produced but questioned every time
Finance spends more time explaining why the numbers might be wrong than analysing what they mean. Trust in the data is low across leadership.
Growth
The system can't keep up with where the business is heading
Adding entities, locations or product lines creates more manual work, not less. The finance function is a bottleneck rather than an enabler of growth.
Controls
Processes exist on paper but workarounds have become normal
Manual journals, exceptions, and undocumented fixes keep things moving — but they introduce risk and make audits harder than they need to be.
This is for you if...
- You're on Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or spreadsheets
- Revenue between £3m and £50m
- Product-based business with inventory
- Finance reporting and control matter to leadership
- You want a structured implementation — not a rushed go-live
- You need the project done in weeks, not months
This probably isn't for you if...
- Revenue under £3m (Xero is still the right tool)
- Service-based with no inventory
- You want to "just get live" and fix things later
- Finance systems aren't a priority yet
- You're not ready to invest time in doing it properly
