The problems that bring finance teams to us

Most of our clients have been living with at least two of these challenges. Some have tried solving them in-house with Excel, or in their ERP. Some try with a Big Four firm — and still ended up with us.

You've tried consolidating in your ERP — and it didn't work

Partial ownership, joint ventures, multiple currencies, intercompany eliminations — ERP systems simply aren't designed for this.

See how we help

Month-end takes weeks. Year-end is a crisis.

Manual close cycles that stretch longer every quarter. Too many people, too many spreadsheets, too many last-minute adjustments.

See how we help

Your budgets live in Excel. Nobody trusts them.

47 files, broken formulas, version chaos. The board asks questions you can't confidently answer because the numbers are assembled by hand.

See how we help

Auditors keep flagging issues

Reconciliation gaps, manual journals with no audit trail, intercompany mismatches. You're spending time defending the numbers instead of using them.

See how we help

New regulations keep coming

Lease accounting and IFRS 16. Global minimum tax and Pillar 2. Sustainability reporting and CSRD. And here we have IFRS 18. Each requirement adds complexity — and your current tools weren't built for it.

See how we help

You bought an EPM system — but half the team still uses Excel

The platform is there but nobody owns it. The vendor implemented and left. Your team reverted to Excel because nobody taught them the why not.

What changes for you

Outcomes, not implementations

We don’t sell software licences. We help your finance team work better — with systems they actually own and numbers they actually trust. Every engagement is measured by what changes for your business, not by how many modules we configure.

01

From close pressure to close confidence

Automated consolidation, fewer manual journals, shorter timelines. Your quarterly close goes from crisis mode to a controlled process.

02

Planning that management actually uses

Less time collecting numbers, more time explaining them. Rolling forecasts and scenario models that drive decisions — not sit in a folder.

03

Compliance without complexity

IFRS 16, Pillar 2, CSRD — handled by the same platform your team already uses for close and planning. No separate tools, no separate processes.

04

A system your team actually owns

We build it with you, not for you. When we leave, your team runs the system independently. No permanent dependency on consultants.

How we work

Finance-led, not IT-led

Five phases from discovery to ongoing support. Pragmatic scope. Honest timelines. Your team owns the system when we’re done.

Assess & Design

We start with your financial processes and reporting needs — not with the technology. Understanding the accounting comes first.

Build & Configure

Chart of accounts, entity structures, segments, integrations with your ERP and source systems. We build together — your team learn as we go.

Test & Validate

Reconciling against historical data, catching errors you didn’t know existed, building confidence in the new numbers. This is where trust shifts.

Go-Live & Stabilise

Your first live close cycle with our team alongside you. Hands-on support until you’re confident running it on your own.

Optimise & Evolve

New entities, new reports, new services. The relationship continues with ongoing support, enhancements, and next-step advisory.

Why Finarchs

We are dedicated and focused — and we care about your success

We are senior finance and technology specialists. Our background come from group accounting, controlling, and system architecture. We have done these projects before — and we understand your challenges. Clients say we're likable, direct, honest and easy to work with. We'd rather lose a project than put you on the wrong platform.

briefcase-check

Not our first time

Everyone on your project has done this before. You get the architects, and sometimes we will challenge your existing processes.

trend-up-square

Finance first, system second

We understand your requirements before we touch the technology. That's why our implementations stick — and why your team can run the solutions when we leave.

rocket-launch

We tell clients no

If something doesn't fit our expertise, we say so. If a vendor isn't right for you, we'll point you elsewhere. Integrity over revenue.

invoice

We speak both CFO and IT

Most consultancies are either finance people who don't understand systems, or IT people who don't understand accounting. We're both.

line-up-circle

Norwegian and Nordic

Local language, local legislation, local reporting requirements. Your finance team and group accounting manager works with people who understand their context.

credit-card-change

Honest about what it takes

We won't quote three months if it takes six. No shortcuts, no surprises. We'd rather set realistic expectations than win a deal with optimistic timelines.
