ORDINAL PARTNERS
Build the finance function properly from the start, or reset it when the existing setup no longer works.
The foundations are practical: accounting platform, chart of accounts, bank and payment workflows, bookkeeping, invoicing and receivables, payables, reconciliation, monthly close, management reporting, and payroll and accounting coordination.
Recording transactions is only the starting point. The underlying operation should make data useful for running the business, not simply filing accounts at year-end.
We support accounting and ERP selection, migrations, integrations and automation, alongside the practical work of resetting books, improving granularity, strengthening reporting structure and putting controls in place.
Setting up a new company. Outgrowing basic bookkeeping. Reporting arriving too late. Numbers becoming difficult to trust. Adding entities, staff or locations. Preparing for funding or expansion. Explore startup finance.
The work usually progresses from setup or reset, into recurring finance operations, with additional strategic support added when the business needs it.
