• Process & SOP Review - Review existing finance processes, identify gaps and create a central, up-to-date library of SOPs with clear controls and ownership.
• Intrastat - Review SKU commodity/tariff coding, identify gaps, improve the process and establish clear ownership and review points to reduce manual work and compliance risk.
• Cashflow Forecasting - Build a simple, accurate and easy-to-maintain rolling 12-week cashflow forecast, including a process to review forecast accuracy.
• Fixed Assets / Syspro - Clean and verify the existing Excel fixed asset register, migrate it into Syspro, test transactions and postings, create reconciliation processes and document the full asset lifecycle.
• COA Rationalisation - Review and simplify the Chart of Accounts, remove duplicate/unnecessary GL codes, define cost centre ownership and create clear coding guidance.
• Budget & Forecast / Syspro - Create a template to upload budgets and forecasts into Syspro, reducing spreadsheet linking and creating a single source of truth.
• Reporting Transformation - Review and rationalise the existing reporting suite and RGH reporting, remove duplicate spreadsheets, create consistent reporting packs and improve visibility of budget, forecast, balance sheet and Group performance.
