The engagement
How the build ran, start to finish
In the client's own account: the starting point, the thing that kept getting in the way, and what was built to fix it.
Where they started
Each outsourced finance support inquiry triggered a hand-written preparation email from the e-commerce bookkeeping practice. The wording depended on whoever happened to send it.
What was getting in the way
With outsourced finance support, the briefing's content depended on its author and their afternoon. Consistency, not quality, was what was missing.
What we built
The new guide walks through reporting needs, current software and reconciliation status in everyday language and sets out service responsibilities and the monthly reporting process. The website asks only for first-contact information; anything sensitive moves through the business's own approved channel later.

What changed
When it comes to outsourced finance support, everyone reads the same briefing before the first conversation. Staff stopped re-writing instructions, and attendees stop arriving with the wrong ones.

The guide for outsourced finance support means I explain the process once, properly, instead of rushing a rewrite every afternoon.
