Finance Solutions

Finance evaluates the soundness of the issues and decisions your company faces every day. It is a balancing act. On one side, finance must be able to advise the business on future directions, performance and opportunities.  On the other side, it must focus on checks and controls to comply with legal, tax and accounting regulations and requirements.

Finance functions are often constrained, or at best hampered, by line of business systems being built for the purpose of servicing the customer, client, employee or supplier without regard to management information or accounting needs. Thus the extraction and analysis of this data is often cumbersome and time consuming to prepare, check and distribute in a coherent pack.

To overcome these challenges, API Software has developed a rigorous set of solutions using leading edge Microsoft technologies which reduce the manual effort and time spent in data sourcing, report preparation and report distribution.  As well as improving the efficiency of finance, these tools empower end users of the information to self serve thereby improving collective understanding of and collaborative resolution of issues. Thus the cycle of record-interpret-remediate is dramatically shortened. Organisations such as Lloyds Banking Group, Scotmid, Aggreko, CIGNA Healthcare International and Peel Ports are already benefiting from these efficiencies.
