When systems no longer reflect reality

As businesses grow, finance and payroll systems often get bolted together over time. Workarounds creep in, spreadsheets multiply, and the numbers stop telling a clear story.

You may find that:

  • Payroll, HMRC and the accounts don’t quite align

  • Management reports don’t make sense

  • The balance sheet doesn’t reflect what you expect

  • Confidence in the numbers has been lost

This service exists to fix that — properly.

What a Finance & Systems Reset does

A Finance & Systems Reset is targeted consultancy to correct issues, rebuild financial structures, and put reliable systems in place.

Following a review, I work hands-on to:

  • Identify what’s not working and why

  • Correct errors and inconsistencies

  • Rebuild the structure behind the numbers

  • Align systems so everything works together

The aim is simple:
numbers you can trust and systems that support growth.

This may include

Depending on what’s uncovered during the review, work may include:

  • Correcting payroll and HMRC errors
  • Rebuilding chart of accounts
  • Fixing P&L and balance sheet structure
  • Reconfiguring Xero and related systems
  • Aligning payroll, pensions and CIS processes
  • Documenting processes so things stay right

Every engagement is scoped to the issue — no unnecessary work.

What this engagement delivers

  • Management accounts that actually make sense
  • A clean, logical chart of accounts
  • Payroll, HMRC, pensions and CIS properly aligned
  • Clear visibility of liabilities and cash position
  • Fewer spreadsheets and manual workarounds
  • Confidence in your financial reporting

Pricing & next steps

This work is scoped and priced following a review, based on complexity and the level of corrective work required.

If you suspect your systems or numbers need attention, the best place to start is a short conversation.
