The Borderless Finance Function™

What actually happens on day one.

Owners expect a transition to be a technology event. It is not. The first day is about custody, authority and cut-off — and the handovers that fail almost never fail at the ledger. IN SHORT Day one establishes three things and nothing else matters until they exist: who may approve what, from what date the...

Every territory has its own tax. The group should still read as one set of numbers.

Local compliance is genuinely local and cannot be harmonised away. What can be harmonised is everything underneath it — the chart, the definitions, the cut-off and the eliminations. Most groups have it the other way round. IN SHORT A multi-territory group has to file locally under local rules, in local currency, to local deadlines. That...

A sales pipeline is a cash flow forecast nobody reads.

The only forward-looking information most businesses own is sitting in the sales pipeline, while the cash forecast is built from the receivables ledger — a record of decisions already taken. The future is in one room and the forecast is in another. IN SHORT A pipeline answers how much. A cash forecast needs to know...

Attendance, approvals and the cost of a working hour.

Most businesses know what they pay for an hour. Far fewer know what an hour costs them, and fewer still can say which job consumed it. That gap is where quoted margin quietly becomes actual loss. IN SHORT The cost of an hour is not the wage rate. It is the wage plus the employer’s...

Payroll is where accounting meets employment law.

Payroll is the only monthly process that is at once a tax filing, the performance of a contract and a statutory record. Treating it as data entry is how a business acquires liabilities it does not know it has. IN SHORT Payroll sits on top of two bodies of law that do not refer to...

One login for finance, people and sales is not a convenience. It is a control.

When the ledger, the payroll and the pipeline are three systems, nobody can say who approved what without asking a person. Integration is not about saving keystrokes. It is about making authority a setting instead of a habit. IN SHORT An integrated business platform holds finance, people and operations in one data set under one...

You are not hiring an accountant. You are buying a finance function

Should I hire an accountant or outsource accounting? The vacancy is usually written before the requirement is. This article sets out what a finance function actually consists of, what an employed hire really costs once it is loaded properly, and why most Caribbean businesses end up with a hybrid rather than a choice between the...

Your books are ready in March. Your decisions were needed in January

How long should it take to close monthly accounts? Nine working days is achievable. Thirty to seventy-five is what most Caribbean businesses actually run. This article sets out where the difference comes from, what the delay costs, and how a digitally delivered finance function closes the gap.   IN SHORT A monthly close should take nine...
