Finance & Accounting
Close on time, protect cash, and pass audits-with staffing or outcome SLAs, QA, and evidence-linked dashboards.
Typical Pain Points
- Month-end close slips; manual reconciliations and late flux analysis
- AP invoice backlog; 2/10 net terms missed; duplicate/overpay leakage
- AR cash application delays; unapplied cash and lockbox mismatches
- Revenue ops backlog (billings, credits, usage) and audit readiness gaps
- Vendor master risk (duplicates, sanctions, bank changes) with weak controls
- Fragmented BI; no single source of truth for close status and KPIs
Roles We Staff
- AP processors (3-way match, PO/non-PO), vendor master, T&E audit
- AR cash application, collections desk, credit & limits support
- GL accountants, intercompany, fixed assets, accruals
- Reconciliations (bank, sub-ledger), flux analysis support
- Revenue ops (invoicing, usage validation, credits/rebills)
- SOX/controls support, audit PBC assembly, policy doc updates
- Finance analysts: BI wiring, metric definitions, evidence packs
Outcomes & Examples
