Finance Function Process Streamlining
Finance built for efficiency + accuracy
Eliminate bottlenecks, automate workflows, and close faster — without adding headcount.
Your finance team is drowning in manual work. Month-end takes forever. AP and AR are bottlenecks. Everyone's buried in spreadsheets and reconciliations. We redesign your finance processes from the ground up — combining automation, system optimization, and workflow engineering — so your team can focus on analysis instead of data entry.
What Can Process Streamlining Solve For Your Business?
Here are common challenges and pain points that show a company has outgrown its current approach.
- If You're on the Finance Team
- If You're a CEO or COO
- If You're a PE or Investment Partner
- Slow month-end close drags on well into the next month.
- Manual Tasks. Your team spends 60-70% of their time on manual data entry, reconciliations, and journal entries.
- No bandwidth for strategic work —everyone's stuck in transaction processing.
- Late nights. You're approving journal entries at 11 pm because processes are broken.
- Endless follow-up. Can't close books until everyone finishes their manual spreadsheet updates.
- Last Minute. Board meetings are stressful because financials aren't ready until 2 days before.
- Can't get financial results quickly enough to make timely decisions.
- Finance is a bottleneck for operational initiatives.
- Month-end close disrupts the entire business (everyone stops to provide data to finance).
- You need real-time visibility, but finance is stuck closing last month.
-
Portfolio companies have inconsistent, slow close processes.
-
Can't get consolidated portfolio reporting because companies close at different speeds.
-
Finance teams are reactive instead of strategic.
-
Value creation initiatives stall because finance can't provide timely data.

FAQs
Q: Will process automation eliminate jobs on our finance team?
A: No — it eliminates tedious manual tasks, not people. The time saved gets redirected to higher-value work (analysis, planning, strategic projects). Most of our clients use automation to avoid hiring additional people as they grow, not to reduce current headcount.
Q: How disruptive is implementation to our day-to-day operations?
A: We design implementations to minimize disruption. Most automation tools can be implemented in parallel with existing processes, then cut over once validated. The most disruptive period is typically the first month-end close with new processes, but we're there to support you through it.
Q: What if our team is resistant to change?
A: Change management is built into our approach. We involve your team in the design process, explain the "why" behind changes, provide thorough training, and celebrate quick wins. When people see they're working fewer nights and weekends, any resistance typically melts away.
Q: Can you work within our existing ERP or do we need to change systems?
A: We typically work within your existing ERP and add automation tools around it. Many process improvements don't require changing your ERP — just using it better and adding complementary tools. We only recommend ERP changes when truly necessary.
Q: How long until we see results?
A: Quick wins (like AP automation or bank rec automation) can show results within 30 days. Comprehensive close process redesign typically shows results in the second or third month-end after implementation. Most improvements are felt within 90 days.
Q: What if our processes are really unique/special?
A: Every company thinks its processes are unique — and some truly are. But +80% of finance processes are surprisingly similar across companies. We've seen enough variety to handle unique requirements while applying best practices where they make sense.
