Modern planning, controllership, treasury and accounting delivery — run the way a finance function should.
Financial Operations is about how the finance function actually runs day to day: planning, closing the books, managing treasury, and delivering shared services or outsourced accounting — modernised with the right operating model, technology and talent mix. AKM Global brings a rare combination to this space: deep finance transformation capability alongside four decades of hands-on accounting, bookkeeping and audit-support outsourcing for businesses and CPA firms across India, the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.
The Challenge
-
Month-end close takes 10–15 days because reconciliations and approvals are still largely manual
-
Finance shared-services and GCC models are often built ad hoc, without a clear target operating model
-
Treasury and controllership processes haven't kept pace with the volume and complexity of transactions
-
P2P and O2C workflows involve manual matching and email-based approvals, slowing cash conversion
-
Finance leadership lacks real-time dashboards to track close progress, exceptions and KPIs
-
Outsourced accounting relationships often lack the technology and controls needed to scale beyond a handful of clients
Our Approach
We help across the full finance operating model — from strategy and planning, through controllership and treasury, to the shared-services or outsourced delivery model that actually gets the work done — built on an SAP S/4HANA backbone where relevant, with RPA bots handling repetitive steps and Power BI tracking progress.
How AKM Global Can Help
-
Business Finance (FP&A): Redesign planning, forecasting and analytics with scalable data platforms, so budgets and forecasts are built on live numbers.
-
Global Business Services / GCC Operating Model: Design or scale a finance shared-services centre or GCC — process design, technology and team build-out, end-to-end.
-
Controllership & Treasury Modernisation: Standardise close calendars, automate reconciliations with RPA bots, and modernise treasury processes.
-
Finance Strategy & Operating Model Design: Define the target operating model for your finance function and the roadmap to get there.
-
Outsourced Accounting & Bookkeeping: Ledger maintenance, accounts payable/receivable, and month-end close support for businesses and CPA firms in India, the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.
-
Audit Support & Compliance Readiness (SOC & HITRUST): Offshore audit support and SOC 2/HITRUST readiness services for accounting and audit firms scaling their delivery capacity.
-
Finance Operate (Managed Finance Operations): Flexible, managed payroll, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash and compliance processing, tracked on Power BI dashboards and scaled with your business.
What You Will Achieve
-
Close cycles cut by up to 50% — from 12 days to 6 or fewer.
-
A defined target operating model — for your finance shared-services or GCC, not an improvised structure.
-
Automated reconciliations and approvals — via RPA bots, freeing the team for analysis instead of processing.
-
Real-time close and KPI dashboards — on Power BI, giving finance leadership visibility as the month progresses, not after it closes.
-
One outsourcing partner, not several — across accounting, tax, audit support and technology, instead of managing multiple vendors.
Illustrative Use Cases
-
A US CPA firm offshoring client accounting and SOC readiness work to free up its onshore team for advisory

Sample use case: AKM Global redesigned the controllership process for a client's India GCC on an SAP-based backbone, automating bank and vendor reconciliations with RPA bots and cutting the monthly close from 12 days to 6, with progress tracked on a live Power BI dashboard and a full audit trail for every adjustment.
