      • Case Study: Finance Transformation

         

        Lumensol was approached by ODS to support and transform its finance function over a 12-18 month period and ensure that the team, processes, and reporting were both robust and sustainable for the future growth of the business, and to help the business become more commercially focused.

      • Our Team

        Lumensol Finance Services provided an initial team of six, headed up by a Finance Director and supported by two managing consultants and three consultants. Over the course of the project the size of the team flexed to offset the size and experience of the client team, resulting in two team members being part of the final handover.

        Reporting & Data Process

        Throughout the engagement, our team implemented new detailed board reporting packs. We transitioned the financial reporting within the organisation from Excel to Power BI, enabling business leaders to access the insights they required.

        Transformation

        Lumensol Finance Services implemented full balance sheet review and control and detailed P&L review and analysis. This resulted in a clean audit report and statutory accounts filed well within the filing deadline. We produced full finance process notes and process flow documentation, and assisted in budgeting and business planning processes.

        Handover

        Finally, as part of our handover process, we assisted in the recruitment of a permanent Finance Director with a comprehensive handover period to ensure a seamless transition.

      • Client Outcomes

        Statutory accounts filed on time and well within filing deadlines.

        Clean year-end Audit for FY24.

        Automation of monthly reporting via Power BI.

        Transformed business finance processes and governance.

      • Testimonials

        "Our business needed to get control of its finance process, governance, and reporting following a system change. Lumensol provided a finance team to supplement and support our own team.

        They quickly stabilised the cadence of our reporting and governance, helped us navigate through various budgeting and planning phases, and delivered a clean year-end audit. Their team flexed as our in-house team grew and their service was professional and comprehensive leading to the transition to us becoming self-sufficient."

        "The assistance of Lumensol in the financial management of Oxford Direct Services, one of our wholly owned companies, was much appreciated.

        James Gutteridge in particular did a great job in maintaining the link with myself as the Council's CFO and the company in his interim role as company FD."
