OUR APPROACH

The Story

01

The Situation

The bank had concerns. The finance function wasn't giving them what they needed, and the business had to fix that quickly.
02

The Intervention

A credible three-year forecast inside two weeks, which resolved the bank's pressure and kept the facilities in place.
03

The Outcome

Month-end brought in-house, cutting the close by around ten days and reducing reliance on external accountants.
04

What Happened Next

The engagement moved from intensive intervention to lighter ongoing oversight.
