borderless finance function

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...

Invoices that send themselves, and chase themselves.

  Automating invoicing and receivables collection Days sales outstanding is discussed as a measure of customer behaviour. For most businesses it is mostly a measure of their own delays. This article sets out the four intervals you control, what each day of them is worth in cash, and why a gentle unfailing schedule protects relationships...

The shoebox is now a camera

Digital receipt capture and document management Bank statements are a conversion problem. Documents are a custody problem — the invoice exists in a van, a pocket or somebody’s inbox, so the ledger does not know the obligation is there. This article sets out what capture actually does, and why permanent attachment matters more than the...

If your bank feed is not connected, you are paying someone to retype a statement

Bank feeds and automated reconciliation — how they work, and what they do not do Reconciliation is treated as an accounting task. It is data entry with a checking step appended. This article sets out the three ways a feed can be connected, what happens to a transaction once it arrives, and an honest account...

Do you need a ledger, or an operating system?

Cloud accounting or ERP — how the tier is actually decided Almost every business asks this as a software question, and buys the wrong answer. This article sets out the two constraints that make a system feel too small, the six questions that decide the tier, and an honest account of what a connected application...

What a finance function is supposed to produce, and how often.

What should a finance department deliver monthly? Finance is the only function in most businesses with no defined output. This article sets out the full schedule — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual — with what each item is for, and the reader test that removes everything on the list which nobody actually uses.  IN...

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...
