Precision-led Finance and Order-to-Cash transformation

Built for scale, control, and trust.

I help finance leaders fix what’s actually broken inside Order-to-Cash, finance operations, and systems — without disruption, hype, or unnecessary tooling.

My work is pragmatic, structured, and execution-focused.
No buzzwords. No experiments on live finance organizations.

KATalign services — Order-to-Cash diagnostics, stabilization, and fractional finance leadership.

How I work

I don’t sell tools.
I don’t push frameworks for the sake of frameworks.

I work as a trusted advisor and execution partner, embedding where needed and leading with clarity.

Engagements typically start with a focused diagnostic and evolve into:

  • Advisory support

  • Interim leadership

  • Transformation execution

Ways to work together

O2C Alignment Diagnostic (2-4 weeks)

Best for: You need clarity on what to fix first.

What you get:

  • End-to-end O2C map across teams & systems

  • Leakage + control gaps

    (billing, disputes, credits, cash app, write-offs)

  • KPI baseline and root causes (DSO, aging, dispute cycle time)

  • Prioritized roadmap and decision points

  • Executive readout with ownership

Best for: You need measurable improvement fast.

What you get:

  • Dispute routing and triage operating model

  • Collections segmentation + cadence

  • Exception reduction and handoff rules

  • Governance, ownership, escalation paths

  • KPI cadence pack and working rhythm

Fractional Finance and O2C Leadership (3-9 months)

Best for: You need a senior operator to lead execution without hiring full-time.

What you get:

  • Weekly operating cadence + governance

  • System alignment across ERP, CRM, billing

  • Controls support when needed (explainable, auditable outputs)

Finance Transformation Program Leadership (3-12 months)

Best for: You have a high-stakes finance system or operating model change: ERP migration, post-acquisition integration, or finance operating model overhaul — and need a senior program leader without hiring.

What you get:

  • Program plan, governance and decision cadence that holds

  • Requirements, stakeholder alignment & scope control

  • UAT, cutover, cutover readiness and hypercare stabilization

  • Controls-aware delivery (SOX / revenue governance where relevant)

Focus Areas (what I fix)

Order-to-Cash Optimization

For Finance teams experiencing friction between Sales, Customer Success, Billing & Collections and Treasury.

When Order-to-Cash breaks, the symptoms show up everywhere: delayed billing, rising DSO, manual workarounds, audit risk, and frustrated teams.

I assess your end-to-end O2C process; from order intake to cash application and realign it for clarity, control, and scalability.

→ Usually starts with the O2C Alignment Diagnostic

What I do

  • Review order management, billing, AR, collections, and handoffs

  • Identify control gaps, bottlenecks, and manual dependencies

  • Redesign workflows with clear ownership and governance

  • Support execution inside your existing systems

Outcomes

  • Faster and more predictable cash conversion

  • Reduced rework, escalations, and audit exposure

  • Finance teams that can scale without adding headcount

Finance Transformation & Systems Alignment

See “Finance Transformation Program Leadership” for full program leadership above.

For organizations scaling faster than their finance infrastructure.

ERP, billing platforms, and CRM systems fail when processes are unclear and ownership is fragmented. Tools don’t fix that — alignment does.

I lead finance transformations with a process-first mindset, ensuring systems support how the business actually operates.

→ If execution is urgent, choose the Stabilization Sprint.

What I do

  • Finance transformation assessments (O2C, R2R, P2P as needed)

  • ERP, billing, and CRM alignment and optimization

  • Requirements definition, governance, and execution support

  • Stakeholder alignment across Finance, Sales, Product, and IT

Outcomes

  • Systems that reflect real finance workflows

  • Cleaner closes, better reporting, stronger controls

  • Fewer “workarounds” and less dependency on heroics

Pragmatic AI Enablement for Finance

For leaders who want leverage — not AI theater.

AI only works when the underlying process is sound. I help finance teams apply AI and automation where it creates real value, not noise.

This is not experimentation. It’s controlled, thoughtful enablement inside finance operations.

What I do

  • Identify AI-ready finance workflows

  • Implement practical automation and copilots

  • Improve reporting, reconciliations, and variance analysis

  • Ensure outputs are explainable, auditable, and trusted

Outcomes

  • Time back for senior finance work

  • More consistent, reliable outputs

  • AI that supports decisions instead of creating risk

Let’s Align What Matters

If your finance operation feels heavier than it should — or more fragile than leadership realizes — it’s time to realign.

Book a diagnostic call to assess what’s actually limiting scale, speed, and trust.
