Does your finance team disappear for two weeks every month? You’re not alone. A manufacturing client of ours was running their business blind for half the month. ERP Consulting helped them restructure the process completely.
Finding the Bottlenecks
We mapped out every single step from ‘Order Shipped’ to ‘Revenue Booked’. The biggest delay? Manual intercompany reconciliations. Three people spent a week just matching pennies.
- Standardize the Chart of Accounts across all entities.
- Automate the intercompany matching rules.
- Set a hard deadline for all departmental entries.
The Ripple Effect
With a 3-day close, management could finally make decisions based on real data, not 45-day-old reports. ERP Consulting isn’t just about saving time; it’s about gaining visibility.
The CFO told me it was the single best investment in the company’s ability to scale.
