Finance work that took days, now takes minutes
A set of automations across accruals, withholding tax, Netback, GR/IR, aging, sales invoices and asset data.
About USD 90M of monthly accruals: two days down to under a minute
The problem
Recurring finance work was manual. Intercompany accruals took two days, Netback duplicate checks about four days, and monthly withholding tax about 45 hours, which left less time for review.
My contribution
I developed the automations and the validation logic behind them, and prepared the business cases that showed their value.
Approach
Map the process, isolate the control points, automate the repeatable preparation, and keep exceptions visible for human review.
What changed
Intercompany accruals of about USD 90M a month went from two days to under a minute. Netback checks went from about four days to under a minute. Withholding tax went from about 45 hours a month to 10.
Evidence
- Controls strengthened through automated validation rules and exception reporting
