Discover
Understand the workflow, systems, people, ownership, controls and exceptions.
How It Works
Understand first. Automate second.
Rivenhall does not begin by reproducing a broken process in software. First understand it, then simplify it, then automate only the appropriate components.
Quantify
Measure frequency, volume, manual effort, delays, errors and the economic opportunity.
Design
Simplify the process, define the future state and retain human judgement where it belongs.
Build
Implement the workflow and test expected, exceptional and failure paths.
Control
Confirm access, approvals, evidence, documentation, ownership and fallback processes.
Improve
Monitor operation, resolve issues and adapt the workflow as requirements change.
From decision to operation
Each engagement has a clear job.
01
Finance Automation Diagnostic
Discover, quantify and design establish whether an implementation is justified.
02
Automation Sprint
Build and control turn the agreed design into a tested, documented workflow.
03
Managed Automation
Improve continues after go-live through monitoring, maintenance and controlled change.
Shared responsibility
Good automation needs informed client decisions.
Rivenhall leads the analysis and delivery. The client retains ownership of policy, materiality, approvals and acceptance.
A named process owner and clear intended outcome
Representative inputs, outputs and operating data
Agreement on material decisions and approval points
Appropriate system access for controlled testing
User acceptance before deployment
Named ownership after go-live
A defined first engagement
Which finance workflow is costing more than it should?
Start with a defined Diagnostic to understand the work, quantify the opportunity and decide whether automation makes commercial sense.
