Finance and Operations Playbooks

Playbooks for the workflows that cost you the most.

Finance and operations packages with proven ROI. Built for teams that measure everything.

Playbook 01

Invoice Processing and Validation

AP teams spending hours on data entry and chasing approvals.

Manual invoice processing is one of the most expensive invisible costs in a business. Every invoice touched by human hands costs time, introduces error, and delays payment runs. This playbook eliminates most of that.

What it does

  • Extracts data from invoices automatically
  • Validates against contracts and purchase orders
  • Flags discrepancies before payment releases
  • Routes exceptions for approval
  • Writes validated data to your accounting system

Bonus: Cash leak prevention

Contract compliance checks catch discrepancies between what was agreed and what was invoiced. In most deployments, the system pays for itself within the first caught error.

From our deployment: $44,000 annual savings. Running five months. Under 2% error rate.

Playbook 03

Renewals Guardrail

Contracts auto renewing on unfavorable terms because nobody was watching.

Contracts auto renew quietly. Unfavorable terms lock in for another year. Vendors bank on the fact that you are too busy to notice. This playbook puts a watchdog on every contract in your portfolio.

What it does

  • Monitors contract expiration windows continuously
  • Alerts you 90, 60, and 30 days before expiration
  • Drafts renewal options with negotiation points
  • Tracks renewal decisions and outcomes

Negotiation Leverage The primary value

What this really costs you without it

The average mid-size business has dozens of contracts. Each auto renewal at existing rates is money left on the table. Even recovering one unfavorable renewal typically exceeds the cost of the entire deployment.

  • Prevents costly auto renewals
  • Restores negotiation leverage
  • Improves budget predictability
Lower Costs Platform consolidation

What we typically find

  • Redundant automations doing the same thing across multiple platforms
  • Silent failures nobody knows about
  • Subscriptions paying for unused capacity
  • Dependencies that break when someone leaves

Playbook 04

Automation Audit

You have 47 Zaps, 12 Power Automates, and nobody knows what they all do.

Most organizations that have been automating for a few years have accumulated a tangle of workflows across multiple platforms. Some duplicate each other. Some are broken. Some are costing you money every month for no reason. This playbook maps everything and gives you a consolidation plan.

What it does

  • Inventories all automations across platforms
  • Maps dependencies and failure points
  • Identifies redundancies and cost savings
  • Creates a consolidation roadmap
