Decision Infrastructure

CFO Advisory & Finance Transformation

We Help CFOs Make Confident Decisions Faster

Most finance teams weren’t built for the pace businesses now move at. Spreadsheets get patched together under deadline pressure, reporting lags behind decisions, and the CFO ends up buried in data entry instead of steering the business.

CFO advisory is about closing that gap. Access Analytic works alongside your finance leadership to modernise how numbers are gathered, reported and used — combining hands-on consulting with the technology (Power BI, Solver, Excel and automation tools) to make it stick.

This isn’t generic management consulting. It’s practical finance transformation delivered by people who’ve sat inside finance teams and know where the real friction is.

Where We Add Value

CFO Advisory & Strategic Support

Get an experienced finance partner in your corner. We work directly with CFOs and finance leaders on forecasting accuracy, board reporting, cash flow visibility and the strategic decisions that keep a business moving forward, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Where We add value

Finance Transformation & Process Redesign

We map how information currently flows through your finance function, then rebuild the parts that are slowing you down, consolidations, month-end close, budget cycles, so your team spends less time reconciling and more time advising.

CFO Dashboards & Reporting

Real-time CFO dashboards replace static spreadsheets and end-of-month surprises. Built in Power BI and connected to your live data, they give leadership a single source of truth for revenue, margin, cash and KPIs, updated automatically, not manually.

System automation

Systems & Automation Consulting

From Solver CPM to Power BI to Excel automation, we help you choose and implement the right tools for your size and complexity, then train your team to run them independently once we’ve handed over the keys.

How Decision Infrastructure Works

Every good decision rests on layers of intelligence. It starts with raw data, flows through the applications your business runs on, like ERP, CRM and budgeting and forecasting tools, then gets cleaned, connected and approved in a central data warehouse. From there, structured reporting gives operations, management and executives a trusted view of performance, and human judgement adds the context, experience and creativity that turn insight into action.

AI strengthens every layer rather than replacing any of them. Base AI helps capture and organise raw data, Local AI works inside your everyday applications, and Organisational AI draws on your approved warehouse data to power agents, analysis, forecasts and automation. The result is a continuous loop where every decision and action feeds new data back into the system, so your finance function gets sharper over time.

A Finance-Literate Consulting Team

Our consultants bring a mix of financial modelling, systems and data analytics backgrounds, which means we understand the numbers first and the technology second. That combination is what makes CFO advisory engagements with us different from a typical software implementation.

Ongoing Support, Not a One-Off Project

Finance transformation isn’t a project with an end date, it’s a shift in how your team operates. We stay involved after go-live with mentoring and ongoing advisory support, so the improvements hold once we step back.

Frequently Asked Questions

It starts with a review of how your finance function currently operates, reporting, forecasting, systems and where time gets lost. From there we agree on priorities and work alongside your team on the fixes, whether that’s rebuilding your reporting pack, improving forecast accuracy, or setting up dashboards leadership can actually rely on.

Alongside. We’re not here to take over the finance function, we work with your existing team (or your outsourced bookkeeper/accountant) to strengthen how it runs, and hand over the skills and tools needed to keep it running well once we step back.

It depends on scope. A focused project like rebuilding your reporting or dashboards can take a few weeks. Broader transformation, process redesign plus new systems plus training, is usually a multi-month engagement, often followed by ongoing advisory support.

In most cases, yes. Power BI connects to the accounting, ERP and operational systems you’re already using, so we can typically build dashboards on top of your current setup rather than requiring a system change.

CFO advisory works well for growth-focused businesses that have outgrown spreadsheet-based reporting but aren’t at the scale where a large in-house finance team makes sense. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, that’s exactly what a discovery call is for.
