Days 1–2 — Collect
Ledger extract, bank, billing, payroll and any operating feed named in the dictionary. Missing files are listed the same day, not discovered at draft.
The sequence is the product. We do not skip the data audit because a deadline is tight, and we do not invent a seventh informal stage when a request arrives mid-month. If the work cannot fit the method, we will say so at scoping.
Every stage has a written output: a scope, an audit note, a model, a handover pack, a monthly calendar, a quarterly log. Those artefacts are how you — and your accountant — can see what was agreed.
Indicative elapsed time for a reporting build is four to eight weeks after the data audit. Retained cycles start once handover is complete. Neither figure is a guarantee; data quality and the number of entities move the calendar.
A structured call on the decisions that are stuck, the systems that hold the data, the pack date you need, and the people who will own the refresh. We issue a written scope and a fee quote in SGD before any data room is opened.
We test completeness, duplicates, currency, period cut-offs and mapping to the chart of accounts. You receive a written note on what is ready, what must be cleaned, and what will slow the build. No model is promised until this note exists.
The pack, cash view or unit-economics file is assembled against the agreed format. Two review rounds are included so the first live month is already in your language. Definitions are written into the metric dictionary as they are settled, not afterwards.
You receive the working file, the dictionary, a refresh instruction and a recorded walkthrough. We confirm who on your side can refresh the pack without us in the room. Access rights and file locations are written down.
Collect, draft, release, review — on named working days. Drift (late extracts, changed cut-offs, new mappings) is logged. The calendar is part of the deliverable; a pack that arrives “when it is ready” is not the method.
Definitions, drivers and board tabs are re-checked against how the business now runs. New cuts are added only when the dictionary can carry them. The recalibration is scheduled; it is not an informal mid-year rewrite.
Once handover is done, a typical retained month looks like this. Data quality can stretch it. We will not pretend otherwise.
Ledger extract, bank, billing, payroll and any operating feed named in the dictionary. Missing files are listed the same day, not discovered at draft.
Pack and cash view updated. Residual items flagged. Draft issued to the named reviewer on your side with a short movement note.
Final pack issued. Review session held against that file. Actions for the next close are written into the log before the call ends.
