Financial Reporting Readiness & Stabilization
Build confidence in your financial reports before expanding or transforming reporting.
ECS helps Finance and IT teams validate and stabilize existing financial reports so stakeholders can rely on them with confidence.
This service is designed for organizations that already have reporting in place but need greater clarity, consistency, or defensibility in their outputs—without introducing unnecessary change or disruption.
What we support:
- Validation of priority financial reports and dashboards
- Identification and resolution of logic, data, or reconciliation issues
- GL tie-outs, aging reports, and variance analysis support
- Documentation of report logic, assumptions, and dependencies
- Clear visibility into which reports are reliable today—and why
Engagements are clearly scoped and time-bound, focused on restoring trust and continuity while supporting ongoing financial operations
Many engagements begin here and provide the foundation for stronger, more sustainable reporting practices over time.
Compliance & Regulatory Reporting Support
Accurate, defensible reporting when scrutiny matters.
ECS supports Finance teams responsible for regulatory, compliance, or externally reviewed reporting by helping ensure reports are consistent, reproducible, and well-documented.
This service is designed for organizations that must stand behind their numbers—whether for audits, funding requirements, regulatory submissions, or executive review—without introducing unnecessary rework or last-minute disruption.
What we support:
- Validation of reports used for regulatory or compliance purposes
- Review of report logic, assumptions, and data consistency
- Support for state, regulatory, or funding-related reporting requirements
- Documentation to support auditability and internal review
- Identification of reporting risks, gaps, or limitations before submission
ECS works alongside existing Finance and IT teams to strengthen reporting confidence and reduce exposure—while keeping ownership and accountability clear.
Targeted Report Development (When Needed)
Focused report development tied to specific reporting outcomes.
While ECS does not lead with report development, there are cases where existing reporting gaps prevent teams from meeting critical financial, compliance, or executive reporting needs.
In these situations, ECS provides targeted report development to address clearly defined requirements—always in service of validation, accuracy, and defensibility.
What we support:
- Development or enhancement of critical financial reports when gaps exist
- Replacement of manual or spreadsheet-based reporting with governed outputs
- Alignment of new or updated reports with validation, audit, and review needs
- Clear documentation of report logic, assumptions, and usage
Report development engagements are never open-ended and are always scoped to a specific reporting purpose, audience, or deadline.
This ensures reporting remains maintainable, transparent, and aligned with Finance ownership.
Interim Financial Reporting & BI Project Support
Short-term leadership and coordination for reporting initiatives.
ECS provides interim support for financial reporting and BI initiatives when organizations need experienced guidance, structure, or continuity.
This service is designed for situations such as system transitions, staffing gaps, reporting backlogs, or cross-functional initiatives that require clear ownership and coordination between Finance and IT.
What we support:
- Interim ownership of financial reporting or BI initiatives
- Coordination across Finance, IT, and business stakeholders
- Prioritization of reporting work based on risk and impact
- Documentation, knowledge transfer, and clean handoff
- Support during transitions, audits, or periods of change
ECS engagements in this capacity are clearly defined, time-bound, and focused on stabilizing reporting and enabling teams to operate independently after handoff.
