Key Outcome 1,000+ reconciliations per quarter automated; significant reduction in quarterly close time

The Challenge

A Singapore public sector finance shared services team was responsible for performing intercompany transaction reconciliations across a group of more than 50 entities. Each quarter, the team manually reconciled ERP-extracted data provided in Excel format — a process that required significant staff hours, was prone to matching errors, and consistently created pressure during the quarterly close cycle. 

The organisation needed a reliable, structured solution that could handle the volume and complexity of these reconciliations without requiring proportional increases in headcount as the entity group grew. 

The Solution

OutsourcingWise designed and built a custom Excel-based intercompany reconciliation tool with the following capabilities: 

  • Automated ingestion and processing of ERP-extracted data files without manual reformatting 
  • Matching logic that identifies corresponding intercompany transactions across entity pairs and flags unmatched items for review 
  • User-friendly interface enabling finance staff to run the full reconciliation cycle without specialist technical knowledge 
  • Exception reporting that surfaces unreconciled items with supporting transaction detail for resolution 
  • Quarterly update functionality allowing the same tool to be refreshed each period without rebuilding 

What We Deliver

Following delivery, OutsourcingWise also assumed managed service responsibility for the tool — running the quarterly reconciliation process on behalf of the client, handling data uploads, exception resolution, and producing final reconciliation outputs ready for the accounting team.
