3 Getting Started

Admin-as-a-Service

Ongoing managed support so your team can focus on the business, not the platform.

The resource problems that hold finance back

Can't hire the skills you need

You need a Power BI expert, but not full-time. You need Anaplan admin support, but the salary expectations are eye-watering. The skills gap is real.

Analysts stuck on admin

Your qualified analysts spend more time running reports and maintaining dashboards than doing actual analysis. It's not what you hired them for.

Single points of failure

One person knows the planning model. One person runs the board pack. When they're away, things don't happen. When they leave, you're exposed.

Things never improve

You're so busy keeping the lights on that there's no time for improvement. Same manual processes, same inefficiencies, year after year.

Platform going stale

You implemented Anaplan or Power BI, but nobody's developing it further. The vendor releases new features you never adopt. The investment isn't paying off.

Peak workload pain

Month-end is chaos. Budget season is all-hands. But between peaks, the work doesn't justify permanent headcount. You can't scale up and down.

Expert support without the headcount

We provide ongoing operational support for your finance systems and processes. Your team focuses on business partnership while we keep the engines running and improving.

1

Understand your operations

We document your systems, processes, and requirements. We become an extension of your team, not an outsider parachuting in.

2

Define the service

Clear scope, clear SLAs, clear pricing. You know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, no scope creep, no ambiguity.

3

Transition smoothly

We shadow your team, document tribal knowledge, and take over gradually. No big-bang handovers that leave you exposed.

4

Run operations

Reliable delivery of ongoing work: report production, model updates, data loads, user support. The work gets done, on time, every time.

5

Continuous improvement

We don't just run things. We make them better. Regular improvement suggestions, proactive optimisation, steady enhancement.

6

Scale as needed

More support during budget season. Less during quiet periods. Add services as you need them. Flex up and down with your workload.

What we can manage for you

Planning Model Operations

Model maintenance, dimension updates, hierarchy changes, user access. Keep your Anaplan, Pigment, or similar platform running smoothly.

Power BI or Tableau administration. Data refreshes, new visualisations, user requests, performance tuning.

How managed services work

Frequently asked

How is this different from offshore outsourcing?
We're based in London and Dubai, focused on finance, and work with your specific systems and processes. Our team understands finance context, regulations, and business cycles. We're partners, not headcount arbitrage.
What happens if someone on your team leaves?
We work in teams, not individuals. Knowledge is shared and documented. When someone moves on, there's always someone else who knows your environment. No single points of failure on our side either.
Can we bring services back in-house later?
Absolutely. We document everything. We can train new hires and transition back to you smoothly. Some clients use us as a bridge while they build internal capability.
What are your response times?
Depends on the service level you choose. Standard support is next-business-day response, same-week resolution. Premium support includes same-day response. Critical issues always get immediate attention.
How do you handle confidential data?
We sign NDAs as standard. We can work within your systems using your security controls. We're accustomed to handling sensitive financial data and can comply with your security requirements.
