Every engagement is different, but the pattern is the same: clear design, disciplined testing and a go-live nobody has to apologise for. Client names are withheld at their request.

One ledger for a 14-entity industrial group

14 legal entities9 countries4 legacy systemsFinancials · Procurement

The challenge

Growth by acquisition had left the group running finance on four different systems. Month-end close took eleven working days, intercompany reconciliation was manual, and the board pack was assembled in spreadsheets.

What we did

  • Designed a global chart of accounts and a single consolidation model
  • Migrated five years of history with automated reconciliation to source
  • Automated intercompany matching and elimination
  • Rolled out in two waves to protect year-end

“We closed the first month on the new ledger in four days — something our team didn't think was possible.”

HCM & payroll

HR and payroll for 3,200 hourly workers

40 sites3,200 employeesWeekly & bi-weekly payHCM · Payroll · Time

The challenge

An ageing on-premise HR system, separate time clocks at every site and a payroll team spending two days each cycle fixing errors. Leadership needed a single, reliable platform before peak season.

What we did

  • Implemented core HR, time tracking and payroll on one platform
  • Standardised shift rules and overtime across 40 sites
  • Ran three full parallel payroll cycles against legacy
  • Trained site managers with role-based playbooks

Integrations & analytics

Six payroll integrations, one view of cost

6 countries6 payroll providers1,100 consultantsIntegrations · Analytics

The challenge

Each country used its own payroll provider, so true people cost by project was only known ten days after month-end — too late to fix margin problems.

What we did

  • Built bidirectional integrations to six regional payroll providers
  • Posted pay results and GL entries back automatically
  • Delivered live utilisation and project-margin dashboards
  • Handed over to our managed services team for ongoing support
