Services

We do not stand on the side and we do not deliver slide decks. We roll up our sleeves and work inside your process and your organisation, so that your finance team can cope with the unforeseen event or the anticipated transformation, hold on to the improvements, and continue running successfully, without us.

Where we work

Weak data makes reporting slow, slow reporting turns planning into guesswork, and a process that was never properly settled makes all three harder than they need to be. So we work across all four, and usually from the data upwards.

Process excellence

Finance that runs predictably.

Reporting excellence

Numbers you can defend.

Planning excellence

A view on what comes next.

One trusted set of numbers underneath all three.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Then start with process

  • The close keeps slipping and nobody can say exactly why.
  • A controller is leaving and half the process lives in their head.
  • Invoices, approvals and payments run across three systems and a mailbox.

Then start with reporting

  • You have acquired an entity and the consolidation no longer holds.
  • The auditor keeps finding the same manual adjustments.
  • A customer or your bank has asked you for sustainability data.

Then start with planning

  • The budget takes four months and is out of date when it lands.
  • You bought a planning tool and the team still works in Excel.

Then start with data

  • Two reports show two different revenue figures for the same month.
  • Every analysis starts by exporting and cleaning the same files again.

How we engage

We match our level of involvement to your context. That may be targeted short-term support, a recurring peak moment, or a structured transformation programme — and in every case we work alongside your team.

Temporary support & backup

Typically two to five days a week, from one month, and we can usually start within two weeks.

Implementation & Enablement

Typically three to nine months alongside your team, with a hand-over date agreed on the first day rather than the last.

Assessment & Roadmap

A fixed-price diagnostic of three to four weeks, ending in a prioritised plan with effort estimates and indicative costs that is usable with or without us.

Advisory & PMO support

From half a day a week, providing steering, review and challenge without taking the work away from your team.

Why people trust us with the difficult part

finshift is a team of senior finance people, and the disciplines we cover are exactly the ones we sell: operational finance and the close, group consolidation and reporting, planning and analysis, and the data underneath all of it.

Between us that includes audit and consolidation at the big four, EPM delivery since the early days of that market, eighteen years building and leading a performance management practice at element61, latterly part of Moore Belgium, and end-to-end delivery of EPM and analytics projects internationally.

We have implemented consolidation, planning and reporting platforms in Belgium and abroad and — just as usefully — we have seen which of them did not survive contact with the finance team, and why.

Whoever joins us, two things stay the same: the person who scopes your work stays with it, and everyone you meet has done the job before advising on it. We work in Dutch, French and English.

Independent, but not inexperienced

We are a small team of senior people, and between us we have spent over 50 years in finance operations, consolidation, reporting and planning: in audit at KPMG & EY Belgium, in EPM delivery since the early days of that market, and through eighteen years building and leading a performance management practice at element61, latterly part of Moore Belgium.

We have implemented consolidation, planning and reporting platforms in Belgium and internationally, and have seen which of them did not survive contact with the finance team, and why. Between us we hold masters degrees in information management, in finance and accounting and in taxation, and GRI sustainability certification. We work in Dutch, French and English.

We work across the platforms, not for one of them

We are not a one-product shop. We know this market broadly rather than working for a single vendor in it, and we choose the tool after the requirements are clear, never before. That is why we will tell you when the system you already own is good enough, or when a spreadsheet with better controls will serve you for another three years.

Where we hold a partnership with a vendor we say so, here and in the room. It means we can implement and support that product directly. It does not mean it decides the answer.

About to sign for a consolidation or planning tool?

Send us the shortlist and the scope before you sign. We will tell you what we make of the fit, what the quote is likely to be missing, and what has to be true in your data before any of it works. We work across these platforms rather than for one of them, and where we hold a partnership we will say so before we give you an opinion
