Financial Systems

Financial Systems

Systems that keep financial records consistent, auditable and available to the people who have to make decisions from them.

What the work covers

Scope of the practice.

01

Systems review

Mapping how money actually moves through an organisation and where the records of it live, before proposing any change to them.

02

Reporting pipelines

Turning operational data into statements and management reports on a schedule, with the transformations written down rather than living in one person's spreadsheet.

03

Reconciliation

Matching records across systems and surfacing the differences that need a human decision, instead of hiding them in an aggregate.

04

Integration

Connecting accounting, banking and operational systems so that a figure entered once is the figure used everywhere.

05

Controls and audit trail

Access rules, approval steps and a record of who changed what, so the system can be reviewed after the fact.

Typical scope

What an engagement usually includes.

  • Current-state systems and data mapping
  • Reporting and reconciliation pipelines
  • System integration and migration
  • Controls, permissions and audit logging
  • Documentation and handover to internal staff
Before you commission

What this is not.

Financial systems work is delivered against a written scope. Nothing here is accounting, audit or investment advice, and the practice does not act as an auditor.

Every engagement starts with a written scope that states what is included, what is not, and the criteria the work will be accepted against.

Next step

Start with a conversation.

A consultation is a scoped conversation about what you need, not a sales call. You will leave it knowing whether this is the right practice for the work.
