How to Streamline Financial Reporting and Reclaim Your January

While most people are celebrating the holidays and will soon be making resolutions, CFOs and heads of accounting at private equity firms and fund administrators have their minds on something else: financial reporting.

Year after year, it’s the same challenge – you and your team are up against financial reporting deadlines, armed with spreadsheets or minimally automated tools, and a staffing quandary that puts cost and process efficiency at odds.

Traditionally, a typical annual financial report can take six to even eight weeks to put together, in large part because of how many manual steps there are in the process of data acquisition, ensuring data integrity and traceability and generating a precise set of reports.

And, in order to meet deadlines and complete annual financial reporting on time, staffing becomes difficult – and often expensive – to manage. Most leaders feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, since it is so challenging to match staff resources to financial reporting workload spikes.

It’s enough to make you dread January. But what if this year could be different?
