Finances under control:
your roadmap

Three months — and every month you see reliable numbers on time. After that, you grow to whatever depth you choose. Below is the full ladder: what the packages include and what you can add when you are ready.

BAS Digital is an outsourced CFO for small and mid-sized businesses in Europe. We set up management accounting, run it with a team (operator · financier · CFO) and hand you numbers you can trust.

Stage 1 · Implementation — 3 months, fixed price

The result: a month-end close you can trust.

MONTH 1Preparation

We deploy the system. You see a snapshot of your company in BAS.

  • Audit of 20 accounting areas — based on data, not words
  • Project goals: what level we grow each area to
  • Reference data, balances, line items — in the system
  • Transaction map: how every operation flows through the books
Checkpoint: you log into the system and see your company — accounts, balances, counterparties.
MONTH 2Live month

We run a real month of your business with our own hands.

  • Bank, cash desk, invoices, payroll — everything in the system
  • Final income and expense line items approved
  • Test close: balances match the bank to the cent
  • Payment process: request → approval → payment
from week 2: a weekly cash summary + a list of liabilities
Checkpoint: the month's numbers are on the table — and you say 'this looks right'.
MONTH 3Trusted close

The close works as a process — not as a heroic effort.

  • Your team is trained and enters data on its own
  • Week and month close checklists
  • The full set: P&L, cash flow statement, balance sheet
  • Who is responsible for what — documented (RACI)
Checkpoint: the month is closed on time, the reports are reliable. We move into ongoing support.

How we measure progress

Every accounting area (cash, sales, payroll…) grows along a single scale. You see the movement every quarter.

What we need from you

Three conditions without which the timeline doesn't hold:
  • 1. Access and data before the start — bank (view-only), statements, current spreadsheets, your accountant's contact. Project speed = access speed.
  • 2. Two short meetings a week in months 1–2 (30–45 minutes each) + decisions on the 'homework'. If your side stalls, the timeline shifts — a fair rule in both directions.
  • 3. Sign-off at checkpoints — at the end of each month we review progress on the area map and confirm the move forward (an email is enough).

Methodology artifacts and products

Each item is its own page: what it is, what it looks like, and what it gives you.

Let's start with a diagnostic

A light diagnostic across 20 control questions takes one meeting. You get a scorecard of your current state and a clear view of what to fix first — before any contract.
