Budgets, forecasts and cash, prepared by agents. Published by a person.

The Finance Lead and FP&A turn your closed books into budgets, forecasts and a cash plan, and keep them current every month. A person publishes every budget and forecast, sends every bank instruction and closes every audit finding. Agents never move money.

Three situations finance teams bring to us

  1. 01The board wants the forecast on FridayFP&A pulls the closed month from Accounting, drafts three scenarios and explains each variance. The finance manager picks one and publishes it.
  2. 02Will we have enough cash in week 9?The 13-week cash plan is rebuilt from receivables, payables and the approved forecast, and the weeks under the minimum balance are flagged.
  3. 03Audit seasonAudit & Controls runs the control tests, collects the evidence from the record and lists what is missing. A person closes each finding.
