Modern cloud-based enterprise applications, such as ERPs and CRMs, empower leaders to transform their organisations by unlocking new opportunities and providing employees with real-time data, fostering strategic decision-making, agility and efficiency.
These opportunities to transform - or even just to replace - are inherently complex and risky; each program has a direct linkage to whether an organisation and its leadership can realise their ambitions. The risks and challenges are broad and cover elements including:
- Gaining essential buy-in, support and sufficient funding
- Delivering to time, cost and quality - and having the right capability and partners to do so
- Achieving the level of value and outcomes required (and promised)
- Delivering a sustainable solution and stable ongoing business operations (both in the short and long term)

Independent assurance and advice
Acting as an objective reviewer and advisor to your Leaders, Executive and Boards. We conduct health checks and targeted reviews across key areas of risk and bring in relevant deep specialists. We typically design an assurance program to span your project lifecycle, to ensure that everything remains on track, and you deliver the expected benefits within budget and time.
Project setup, support and rescue
Our skilled professionals can help you set-up your transformation program and/or provide the specific skill sets you need to fill any short- or long-term gaps. Where you are facing challenges, we also have the experience, and skill sets to rapidly get you back on track.
Design/solution review
Our experienced product-specific specialists evaluate your solution design/configuration, processes and controls against leading practices and regulatory standards, giving you confidence that your solution design (both on and off system) is fit for purpose and fully optimised.
Chart of accounts usage and manual journal data analysis
Our bespoke digital tools ingest 100% of your General Ledger data, visualising your current state chart of accounts usage and extent of manual journal. Drill-down functionality provides data driven insight to inform your future state design and identifies areas of manual effort.
End-to-end process design
We bring process design and optimisation expertise to help you challenge the status quo, adopt standard, and position you to leverage future AI functionality that comes from having a clean core.
Security and controls
Enhancing your team’s capabilities by designing, implementing and documenting the application security and process controls, maximising what comes ‘out of the box’ (including Next Generation controls capabilities ), to embed an efficient risk-based control framework, providing a robust, sustainable control framework from Day 1.
Testing and data migration
We have deep specialists in testing and data migration, and can advise and support your testing, data migration and reconciliation processes to confirm that the solutions work as expected and legacy data has been completely and accurately transferred.
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC)
We can implement the relevant GRC technologies to optimise your risk and control management processes including Enterprise Risk Management, Policy and Compliance Management, and Security activities. This includes core GRC solutions, as well as technologies such as continuous controls monitoring (CCM), analytics, and GenAI.
Finance activity analysis
Key to successful finance operating model changes or broader finance transformations is establishing a robust, data-driven current state understanding. In decentralised finance functions, it’s often hard for CFOs to know where their finance teams focus their effort. We designed a digital tool that does just that. Our Finance Activity Analyser captures individual effort and cost of each finance activity at a granular leveI, and identifies gaps and opportunities. The visualisation layer allows you to drill down to the survey question level responses and identify cost outliers and opportunities. The output enables you to decide which activities to stop, standardise or automate.
