Adding new people isn’t the solution, a new finance system that works is
We redesign finance operations for education organisations so the close runs continuously instead of breaking at month-end, board packs are available on demand, and every department works from one trusted set of numbers – not four versions of the budget.
Month-end close lag
Most NFP clients reduce their month-end close lag from 15 days to almost zero within six months.

Trusted by NFP finance leaders

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
The frustrating part? Your team isn't the problem. They're capable, experienced professionals. It's the finance environment that forces talented people to spend their time fixing processes instead of helping the organisation decide.
That's typically 8 to 15 days a month on work that shouldn't exist.
-
Month-end runs into next month
The close drags on while the next reporting cycle is already starting.
-
Same numbers. Different reports.
Every funder needs a different format. Your team spends days rebuilding reports instead of analysing them.
-
Board papers depend on spreadsheets
Your ERP still can’t answer the questions leadership asks, so board papers are stitched together manually.
-
Restricted funding is reconciled by hand
Manual checks add more work to every reporting cycle.
-
Reporting relies on one person
One person understands the model. Everyone else hopes they’re available.
IMAGINE FINANCE THAT SIMPLY WORKS
Before Giuntabell → With Giuntabell
Calm month-end. Confidence in the process. Kindness to yourself.
Month-end dominates the calendar
Close finishes when the month ends — no lag, no catch-up.
Reports are rebuilt every month
Board-ready reports come from trusted data.
Leadership waits for answers
Leadership has timely financial insight.
Teams manually reconcile funding and entities
Finance spends more time analysing than reconciling.
Finance reacts to problems
Finance becomes a trusted strategic partner.
Stress, anxiety, uncertainty
Calm, controlled close and confidence created by partnership, tools and expertise.
Technology alone won't solve these challenges. Neither will another spreadsheet.
HOW WE HELP
Real improvement starts by redesigning how finance works before implementing the technology that supports it. Month-end finishes without weeks of catch-up. Board reports are produced without rebuilding spreadsheets. The numbers are right the first time.

HOW WE START
You now know what a continuous close looks like, and how we build it. Here is how you get there, starting with no risk, and no commitment.
STEP ONE | AT NO COST
THE FINANCE ARCHITECTURE DIAGNOSTIC
Before you invest in anything, you should know exactly where the close lag is coming from, and whether closing it is worth the investment. This session gives you both.
01 The Live Session. A 30-minute working conversation mapping the opportunities specific to your finance function — where your biggest reporting bottlenecks exist and what's slowing down month-end.
02 The Current-State Assessment. A written document setting out where your systems, recognition methods, and close discipline stand today.
03 The Business Case. A document built for you to take to your decision-makers, in the language your leadership and board need to approve it.
You leave this step with a documented case for change, and clarity on whether Giuntabell is the right fit, whether or not you go further with us.
STEP TWO | FIXED IMPLEMENTATION COST
THE CONTINUOS CLOSE PROGRAMME
Once you decide to proceed, you are not buying hours. You are investing in a finance function that runs on a different architecture, priced as a fixed outcome, not a timesheet.
Your finance architecture is fully diagnosed and mapped — every funding agreement, recognition method, and allocation approach.
Your operating model is redesigned around continuous close discipline, not month-end recovery.
Your team is supported through the change itself — new routines, cut-off disciplines, and governance, not just new software.
We manage the implementation, with Sage Intacct as the platform of choice.
Already have an ERP doing the work you want? We can still work with it to deliver a calm, continuous close.
Your organisation deserves finance that supports better decisions, not more spreadsheets. Book your free diagnostic and see what's possible when finance is designed around your organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
