Controlling
Reliable figures, in time for decisions
We build or improve the processes through which management receives its figures: the budget, monthly reporting, the close and payment controls.
60 minutes online with the partner · free, no obligation · written summary within three working days
In brief
- A monthly set of indicators for management
- The month-end close on the same date every month
- Payment controls that reduce the risk of fraud
What we do
Four areas
Budgets and forecasts
The annual budget, periodic reforecasts and variance analysis against actuals.
Management reporting
A monthly set of indicators management can read in a few minutes.
Month-end close
A closing calendar, responsibilities and checks, for stable figures on the same date every month.
Payment controls
Segregation of duties, approvals and supplier data checks, to reduce the risk of error and fraud.
How we work
From assessment to monthly reporting
- Week 1
Assessment
Which figures management receives today, how late and how reliable they are.
- Weeks 2–4
Design
Indicators, the closing calendar and controls, agreed with management.
- First month
First monthly pack
The management pack, reconciled with the accounts.
- Then
Hand-over or ongoing support
Your team takes over the process, with its documentation, or we continue to run it.
Short answers
Frequently asked questions
Do you work in our accounting system?
Yes, with the access you grant. Where that is not possible, we work from system extracts in an agreed format.
How long until the first report?
Usually a month: the assessment and design in the first four weeks, then the first monthly pack.
How are fees set?
We don't publish standard rates. Each proposal is built on the company's risks, structure and needs: the number of entities and processes, the systems used, the group's requirements and what is already covered. The fee is calculated by phase, from the estimated time and the experience level of each team member, and you receive it broken down in the proposal within one working day of receiving the information we need. Hours over budget are worked only with your prior written approval.
Independence
We do not provide this service to companies where we are the statutory auditor: the month-end close, payment controls and management reporting would create a self-review threat. We do not keep the company's books; we coordinate and review, and decisions stay with management.

60 minutes with the partner: find out what to do, and in what order
An online conversation, with no obligation: which requirements apply to your company, from which year, which risks we see and what is worth preparing now. Within three working days you receive a 1–2 page written summary. The summary is not an audit report.
