Where the effort really goes

The 80/20 Paradox

decorative stars

Your core systems process millions of transactions with ease.

The challenge isn't the routine.

It's the reconciliations that don't balance, the close activities that depend on multiple teams, and the regulatory reporting that demands huge volumes of data from across the business.

These processes sit between systems, making them difficult to automate and expensive to operate.

As organisations grow, this 20% becomes the source of most manual effort, operational risk, and delivery delays.

We automate, engineer, and redesign these processes using the Microsoft platform.

The platform you already run

The tools are already there.

Most organisations use only a fraction of the capability available within their Microsoft estate.

 

The same platform that supports collaboration and cloud infrastructure can also automate reconciliations, streamline close activities, and improve regulatory reporting processes.

 

The opportunity isn't buying another platform. It's putting the capability you already have to work.

 

Already licensed. Already trusted. Already in your environment.

Turn scattered data into a live, self-running workflow.

We bring your finance data, the ledgers, reconciliations, and regulatory reporting, into one governed layer, then automate the work that runs on top of it.

Data

A single, trusted foundation. Using Dataverse, Azure SQL, and Microsoft Fabric, we unify your finance systems and ledgers into one governed, auditable environment, simplifying reporting and sharpening control.

Automation

Processes that run themselves. Using Power Automate and the wider Power Platform, we automate reconciliations, close cycles, and regulatory reporting end-to-end, cutting manual effort and accelerating delivery.

Applications

Interfaces built around how you work. Using Power Apps and Power Pages, we replace spreadsheets and manual workarounds with custom apps and secure portals that put control and clarity in your team's hands.

Future-Proof Your Team
AI Symbols

Intelligence that predicts, explains, and engages.

Not AI for its own sake. It's the intelligence layer on the platform you already own. It sees what's coming, writes it up, and answers back. 

Predict

Stay ahead of the close. Using AI Builder, we train models on your historical close cycle data to identify where delays, errors, and bottlenecks are likely to emerge, allowing your team to be proactive before problems occur.

Explain

Narrative that writes itself. Using Azure OpenAI and AI Builder, we analyse your finance operations data and generate detailed summaries, surfacing what is good, where bottlenecks occurred, and what needs attention.

Engage

Work the way you think. Using Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio, we embed AI assistance directly into your existing workflows, guiding users through complex processes without leaving the tools they already use.

Analytics

Beyond the numbers, to the drivers behind them. Using Power BI and Fabric, we surface the trends, opportunities, and risk hotspots, so you can see what is shaping performance.

See the Story Within

Make your systems work as one.

APIs and custom connectors link the systems you already run, so data flows automatically, your numbers stay aligned, and the work happens in real time.

Unify Data

A single, consistent view. We link the systems you already run using Microsoft custom connectors, so the duplication and reconciliation headaches simply go away.

No Third-Party Infrastructure

Integration without the overhead. Native connectors on the Microsoft platform you already own link your systems directly, with no middleware to license, keeping your architecture simple to manage and scale.

Streamline Workflows

Connections that become processes. Once your systems are linked, the work runs automatically across them, from data updates to approvals, with every step logged.
