Where does your month-end leak?

Five areas. Quick mode asks one number for each and takes about two minutes; detailed mode asks for the minutes and money behind them. Nothing leaves your browser unless you send it.

Five numbers. Assumes 5 minutes a document, 20 an exception, 30-day terms.

About your team

Of the people doing this work. Edit if yours differs.

Currency
01Intake

Documents arrive as email and PDF and are keyed by hand.

How many documents did someone type into your system last month, and what else could that person have done?

02Matching and approval

Exceptions route through inboxes, phone calls and memory.

Where do your mismatched invoices actually live while they wait, and who knows they’re there?

03Cash application

Remittances that don’t tie to the bank; unallocated cash.

How much cash is sitting unallocated right now, and how long does it take to clear a remittance that doesn’t tie out?

€
04Collections and disputes

The chase lives in one person’s head or one spreadsheet.

If your credit controller was out for a month, what would happen to your debtor days?

05Reconciliation and close

Spreadsheets bridge the systems at period-end.

What day does your close land, and which spreadsheet is the reason it isn’t earlier?

How many people would your finance team need if every invoice, payment and remittance arrived already matching the ledger?

A capacity question, not a redundancy plan. The gap is the growth your existing team could absorb if resolution stopped being done by hand.

An estimate of the burden today, from your inputs: not a measurement, and not a saving. How much of it can be released is what the four-week pilot measures on your own transactions.

The five leaks are neutral: they describe every mid-market finance function, whether or not it ever works with us. Nothing on this page is sent anywhere. The figures stay in your browser until you choose to bring them to the assessment yourself.
