Finance Systems &
Department Review

A one-time “health check” for your entire finance function.

Sometimes the question isn’t “Who will do the books?” but “Is our finance department set up the right way?”

Our Finance Systems & Department Review provides a one-time, in-depth look at your accounting systems, processes, and reporting—then delivers a clear roadmap for improvements.

Proposal for the Finance Systems & Department Review

Based on the discovery call and books evaluation, we send a written proposal that outlines:

1. Estimated timeframe for the review
2. How many team members will be involved (on-site, virtual, or a mix)
3. What systems, processes, and reports we’ll review
4. The information/access we’ll need (clear checklist)
5. Pricing and scheduling

Finance Systems & Department Review (On-Site and/or Virtual)

We perform the review by walking through your real workflows, reviewing how your systems are set up, and identifying risks, inefficiencies, and reporting gaps.

Roadmap Report
+ Next Steps

After the review, you receive a written roadmap (typically 3–10 pages) that outlines:
1. The most important issues to address
2. The recommended order to fix them (so improvements stick)
3. Quick wins vs. longer-term changes
4. A practical action plan (ownership and sequencing)

We’ll walk through the roadmap with you, answer questions, and—if you want help—offer optional implementation support for selected items on a case-by-case basis.
