You probably already know something's off. The allocation numbers don't quite tie out, the model's slower than it should be, and the person who built it left six months ago. The question you don't want to ask is: what else is wrong that nobody's caught yet?
Is your platform working as hard as it should?
The model takes 20 minutes to calculate. Three people produce different numbers from the same report. Half the modules haven't been touched since go-live. These are symptoms. The audit finds the causes.
We typically complete an audit in 1-2 weeks. You get a prioritised report with specific fixes, not a list of observations. From £5,000.
What we assess
Model efficiency, calculation times, data load speeds. Is your platform as fast as it should be?
Model structure, hierarchy design, module organisation. Built for today and tomorrow, or just today?
User access, role design, data segregation. Are the right people seeing the right data?
User engagement, feature utilisation, training gaps. Is your team getting value from the investment?
Integration health, validation rules, error handling. Garbage in, garbage out - or clean and controlled?
Are you using the platform the way it was designed to work? We see models built around workarounds that made sense at go-live but now create problems.
The quiet risks
Most of the errors we find in EPM audits aren't dramatic. They're quiet. A broken formula that's been misstating one cost centre by 3% for six months. A consolidation rule that double-counts intercompany transactions only when two specific entities are involved. A rounding issue that nobody notices until the external auditors do.
These aren't hypothetical. We find them on most audits. The question isn't whether your model has errors. The research says 94% of business spreadsheets do. The question is whether you'd rather find them in a controlled two-week audit or in front of your board.
The Bolt Blueprint includes a risk register that identifies exactly these kinds of issues. Not because we're pessimistic. Because we've learned that the errors nobody's looking for are the ones that matter most.
What you get back
A prioritised report. Not 50 pages of screenshots. Specific issues ranked by impact, recommended fixes with effort estimates, and quick wins you can action in the first week.
No vague observations. Specific issues, specific recommendations, clear next steps.
When to consider an audit
Users complaining about performance? Calculations taking too long? There's usually a reason - and usually a fix.
New to the role? Just acquired a company? An audit gives you the lay of the land quickly.
Significant changes require platform evolution. We help you understand what needs to change and how.
Renewal approaching? An audit gives you leverage - and clarity on whether to renew at all.
Internal team wants confirmation they're on the right track. Or the board wants independent assurance.
Tell us about your platform and we'll scope an appropriate assessment.
