How a Manufacturer Cut Its Financial Close from Three Months to One Week

The challenge

The manufacturer relied on paper-based processes, and its finance team needed three months to close the accounts. The company wanted to shorten that cycle and give management access to accurate financial reports throughout the period.

Our approach

SFA redesigned the finance function and clarified reporting lines across the business. We mapped how work moved between teams, then implemented Odoo ERP to bring financial and operational processes into one system.

The result

The finance team reduced the time needed to close the accounts from three months to one week. With financial and operational data in the same system, the team could also produce accurate reports in real time.
