Engagement

Monthly Variance Review Retainer

A recurring month-end cadence where we prepare the variance narrative and sit with your controller before the leadership pack goes out.

Who it is for

Lean finance teams that need consistent month-end storytelling without hiring a full FP&A bench.

What you leave with

Predictable month-end variance notes and a standing review call each close cycle.

Scope

Included

  • Monthly variance draft within agreed close window
  • One review call per month
  • Tracked open questions for the following close

Not included

  • Ad-hoc board strategy papers outside variance scope
  • Payroll or accounts payable processing

How the work proceeds

  1. Close calendar alignment
  2. Monthly draft
  3. Review call
  4. Pack finalisation

Preparation

Stable chart of accounts and a named internal owner

Constraints: Data must arrive by the agreed cut-off each month
