FINANCE SYSTEMS CHANGE

New systems.
Same business.
Keep it moving.

Your finance system is changing. Your customers still need invoices. Your people still need paying.

Leanpro connects the systems project to the business that has to run through it.

DECISION TO CONNECT

A new company needs more than a new ledger.

Entity details, bank accounts and approval ownership need to align before transactions can flow.

THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER

Before you
make the move.

What does a finance systems implementation need beyond configuration?

A defined operating scope, reliable data, agreed process ownership, tested integrations, appropriate access and a prepared finance team. Leanpro helps coordinate those business requirements alongside the implementation partner’s technical plan.

Can Leanpro work with our existing software partner?

Yes. We can provide client-side programme and project support, connecting your finance and operational teams with the partner delivering the system. Specialist configuration and technical delivery remain with the appropriate specialists.

How do we know whether we are ready to go live?

Agree evidence for the critical business scenarios, reconcile migrated information, confirm ownership and access, and rehearse cutover and contingency. Decision makers need a clear view of unresolved issues and their consequences. Start with the finance systems readiness checklist.

Can you support a carve-out or acquisition?

Leanpro’s focus includes finance systems separation and acquisition integration. The delivery plan needs to connect legal and organisational changes to the processes, systems and people required to operate.
