Why Finance Efficiency Breaks as Organizations Grow

Finance teams use SNCL to shorten month-end close, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual reconciliation without replacing core systems or disrupting operations.

“SNCL helped us see our finance processes in a completely different way. What we assumed were system limitations turned out to be workflow issues. Once those were addressed, our closing time became far more predictable.”

Finance Manager, Retail Sector

One organization reduced its month-end close from 12 days to fewer than 5 days after restructuring finance workflows and automating key processes within Dynamics 365.

SNCL Expertise

Finance Experience Grounded in Real-World Operations

SNCL brings decades of hands-on experience working with finance teams across growing, multi-entity, and operationally complex organizations. We understand how finance actually runs, from month-end close pressure to reconciliation bottlenecks to compliance risk.

That experience is paired with deep expertise in the Microsoft finance ecosystem, including Dynamics 365, Power BI, and workflow automation. SNCL helps finance teams build a structured, scalable operating model without replacing the systems they rely on.

The Operational Friction Slowing Down Finance Teams

Month-End Close Takes Too Long

Close cycles stretch into weeks because ledgers cannot be reconciled quickly, operational data arrives late, and manual processes slow reporting. In sectors like finance, incomplete production orders can leave costs sitting in work-in-progress accounts, forcing finance teams to reconcile operational activity before the books can close.

Disconnected Systems Create Multiple Versions of the Truth

Operational systems, legacy tools, and manual Excel work often create multiple versions of the same financial data. Information flows through invoicing, inventory, and accounting systems at different times and with different levels of control. When each team maintains its own dataset, discrepancies become difficult to identify and resolve.

Manual Reconciliation Drains Time and Morale

Finance teams often enter bank payments manually, then reconcile statements line by line against the ledger. This works, but it’s slow and prone to mistakes. When this takes days each month, time is lost, small errors creep in, and energy that should go toward analysis is spent just keeping the numbers aligned.

Our Impact

When full scope is clarified, costs are certain

ERP projects often get overrun due to unclear requirements at the start—Quick Assess 365 ensures they're fully captured from day one.

30-50%

Faster ERP evaluation time period

"Our procurement team estimated 3–4 months to assess ERP replacement options. SNCL delivered a full fit-gap and cost analysis in just weeks, and at no cost."

- Devan W, COO

"We delayed for years moving off our current ERP due to time and resource constraints. SNCL helped us clear the first big hurdle of defining requirements, and at very little effort on our part."

- Raphael S., CFO

You May Be Wondering

How is this different from hiring more finance staff?

Adding headcount does not fix broken processes or disconnected systems. SNCL focuses on redesigning workflows and improving system integration so the existing team can work more efficiently and strategically.

Do we need to replace our ERP system?

No. SNCL works with your existing systems. Where Dynamics 365 is already in place, we optimize it. Where multiple systems exist, we help consolidate and structure them properly.

How quickly can finance teams see results?

Most finance teams start identifying bottlenecks and constraints within weeks, not months. Because SNCL uses existing data, there is no long discovery or data preparation phase.

What finance functions benefit most?

SNCL supports a range of financial environments and roles, including controllership, accounting, shared services, and FP&A teams that are struggling with close delays, reconciliation issues, or multi-entity reporting.

How does SNCL improve compliance and audit readiness?

By standardizing processes, reducing manual intervention, and improving data traceability within Dynamics 365, finance teams gain stronger controls and clearer audit trails.

Can this support growth through acquisition?

Yes. SNCL helps finance teams consolidate multiple entities into a shared system structure, enabling centralized reporting without manual data gathering.

Can this support ongoing continuous improvement initiatives?

Yes. SNCL provides a repeatable, data-driven foundation for continuous improvement by measuring performance over time and validating the impact of changes, not just identifying one-time fixes.
