What process owners say after fieldwork

These notes reference specific engagements — walkthroughs, inventory visits, and close observations — not generic praise.

Distributor inventory cycle — three warehouses

A regional electronics distributor asked us to review inventory and cost adjustments ahead of refinancing. We spent count week at two of three warehouses, tracing scrap write-offs that never reached the controller’s desk. The findings memo sequenced dual review on cost changes before broader ERP role redesign. The finance director noted the draft arrived later than hoped relative to the board pack freeze, yet still early enough to brief lenders with concrete remediation owners.

“Pre-audit readiness felt like a rehearsal, not a lecture. They rebuilt our PBC folder around last year’s painful revenue cut-off questions. One mild reservation: interviews ran long on the first day and squeezed the treasury walkthrough.”

“Watching our close with a quiet reviewer in the room showed how often suspense accounts were cleared after the reporting deadline. The new calendar moved those accounts earlier without adding night shifts.”

“We hired them for a full internal control review across purchases and payroll. Findings were blunt about unsigned overtime journals. I would have liked more sample size on overtime, but the remediation owners were named correctly.”
