The challenge
Northstar Commerce had grown quickly, but its reporting processes had not kept pace. Financial information lived across multiple spreadsheets, cash-flow updates were inconsistent, and leaders lacked a shared view of upcoming commitments.
Our approach
Corvantis worked with the leadership and finance teams to map the existing reporting process, identify critical information gaps, and establish a practical forecasting structure. We prioritized a weekly cash-flow view, clearer cost categories, and a concise management dashboard.
Key workstreams
Reviewed existing reports and source data.
Mapped expected receipts, payroll, supplier payments, and other commitments.
Created a rolling 13-week cash-flow forecast.
Grouped operating costs to make key drivers easier to review.
Introduced a monthly performance discussion with clear owners and actions.
Outcomes
A consistent weekly view of expected cash movements.
Clearer visibility into controllable operating costs.
A shared reporting rhythm for leadership and finance.
The result
Leadership gained a consistent weekly view of liquidity and identified an 18% opportunity in controllable operating costs.
