You're probably not short of work. Between month-end, chasing approvals, and keeping on top of reporting, there's barely time to think about why half of it still gets done the same way it did five years ago. The honest answer is usually the same: IT are busy keeping the lights on, and nobody has had the time to sit down and work out what could be automated. Here's the thing though, most finance teams I speak to are already paying for the tools that would fix it. Power Automate, SharePoint, Power BI. They're all sitting inside your Microsoft 365 licence right now, largely untouched. I work with Finance Directors and Heads of Finance for UK businesses between 50 and 300 staff to find the processes that are quietly eating time and money and automate them using tools they already own. A recent example: a finance team was manually printing and physically distributing invoices for signature every single day. We automated the entire workflow using SharePoint and Power Automate. No new software, no new licences. A few weeks to complete. Nearly £30,000 saved per year. They've already come back for their next project. That's usually how it starts, one straightforward win that pays for itself quickly, and then the team starts to see what else is possible. If any of this sounds familiar, I'm happy to have a no-pressure 20-minute conversation about what's sitting in your environment. 📩 Send me a message or connect directly. 🌐 www.ipsofacto.uk.com
