From exposure and inconsistency to disciplined controls and cleaner decisions.
Results at a glance
No unauthorized vendors • Faster, predictable close • AR follow-up discipline improved • Clearer decision rights
Context
Rapid growth produced vendor sprawl, slow month-end close, and unclear decision rights across branches.
Artifacts
Disbursement & vendor policies • Approved vendor list • Invoice/close calendar • Remote deposit SOP • DACI map • Branch rhythm guide.
Before
Unsegregated duties • Inconsistent approvals/onboarding • Close slipping; AR aging up • Branch reporting off-cadence
What we did
Outsourced finance stack with segregation of duties • Approved vendor list + thresholds • Invoice-by/close calendar + remote deposit controls • Branch rhythm (weekly huddle; monthly financial review) • DACI for key ops decisions
Proof
Early outcomes show disciplined controls and cleaner decisions across branches.
