Finance Transformation & Goverance
1. Process & Systems Transformation
-
Accounting system migration/implementation — moving clients onto platforms like Xero, QuickBooks, or NetSuite, including chart of accounts redesign
-
Month-end close optimization — restructuring close processes to cut cycle time (e.g. 15-day close down to 5)
-
AP/AR process redesign — approval workflows, automation (e.g. ApprovalMax-style PO/procurement flows), reducing manual touchpoints
-
Procurement framework design — structured phases for vendor engagement, negotiation, assessment, and commitment, with clear approval thresholds
-
Finance function restructuring — right-sizing the team, redefining roles when a business outgrows ad hoc bookkeeping
Â
2. Governance Advisory
-
Board governance structuring — cadence, board pack design, minute-taking standards, meeting effectiveness
-
Board memoranda & resolutions — drafting board papers for major decisions (lease renewals, capital drawdowns, M&A, capex approvals)
-
Delegation of Authority (DOA) frameworks — defining who can approve what, at what threshold, closing gaps that create fraud or error risk
-
Committee structures — audit committee, finance committee setup for companies scaling past founder-led decision-making
-
AGM and statutory meeting support — notices, minutes, compliance with Companies Act requirements
Â
3. Internal Controls & Risk Management
-
Internal controls assessment — segregation of duties reviews, control gap identification
-
Fixed asset governance — documentation, tagging, verification cycles, disposal policies
-
Fraud risk mitigation — control design around cash handling, procurement, payroll
-
Policy documentation — expense policies, procurement guidelines, treasury/cash management policies
-
Audit readiness — preparing schedules and documentation ahead of external audit, liaising with auditors
Â
4. Compliance & Regulatory Support
-
Statutory compliance oversight — ACRA filings, IRAS tax compliance, XBRL where applicable
-
Cross-border/inter-company frameworks — transfer pricing basics, inter-company agreements, multi-entity reconciliation (relevant given your SG–Indonesia experience)
-
Regulatory documentation — representation letters, director's resolutions, compliance calendars
-
Industry-specific compliance — where clients sit in regulated sectors requiring specific finance controls
Â
5. Change Management & Training
-
Finance team upskilling — training internal staff on new systems/processes so transformation sticks after the engagement ends
-
Documentation & handover — SOPs and process manuals so knowledge doesn't walk out the door with departing staff
-
Transition support — covering gaps during staff turnover (e.g. stepping in when a key finance hire resigns non-compliantly, securing access, mapping open items)
