PwC · Previous Professional Experience

Turn fragmented reporting into a management story leaders can act on.

Previous professional experience
This work was delivered during 15 years at PwC, before Radomentis was founded. It is included to show approach and capability, not as Radomentis client work.

The objective was not to give partners more charts. It was to create one clear management narrative: are we on track, why, and what needs action now? Finance, workforce, pipeline and operational signals were brought together to answer those questions in sequence.

The problem

Leaders had information. They did not have one timely version of the business.

Partners were accountable for monthly targets, but revenue, budgets, utilisation, WIP, cash, pipeline and workforce information lived across different systems, refresh cycles and terminology.

Manual consolidation could take days. Some extracts depended on colleagues with access to restricted systems. By the time the full picture arrived, much of the month could already be gone.

The commercial question was simple: Are we on track — and if not, what can we still change?
The hidden complexity

Integration was not just a technical join.

Different source systems used different field names and even different meanings for terms such as revenue, recovery and performance variance. Budget data was not always comparable to operational revenue without applying the correct business definitions.

  • Manual consolidation could take days
  • Revenue, budget, WIP, cash, pipeline and workforce data lived across different systems
  • Some extracts depended on colleagues with restricted access

  • 4–5 days of manual reporting effort replaced by a repeatable refresh
  • Exceptions and drill-down available to act on immediately
The management story

Tell the story in the order leaders make decisions.

The first page deliberately showed only the headline indicators. From there, the report guided the conversation from what happened, to why it happened, to what could still be changed — instead of forcing leaders to interpret six or nine disconnected reports.

Revenue readiness

Salesforce was not only forecasting. It exposed where expected revenue was blocked.

Recurring opportunities still had to pass risk, compliance, documentation and job-setup requirements before the work could flow correctly into the operational system.

Salesforce extracts were compared with existing jobs in iPower to identify missing or duplicated records and to highlight where approvals, risk responses or job codes were holding up expected activity. The resulting exception visibility supported follow-up between reporting, managers, partners and the Risk team.

Governance & continuity

Make the solution usable without making one person the system.

Dynamic Row-Level Security translated organisational hierarchy into report visibility, including partner-specific and business-unit exceptions.

The operating process was documented through walkthrough videos, process guides, refresh instructions and troubleshooting notes. Colleagues were trained so the reporting could be supported beyond the original build.

Client and commercial details are anonymised for confidentiality, and figures are approximate. I'm happy to talk through the approach in more detail, and what it would look like in your business — just ask on the call.

The Radomentis question

What decisions are your managers still making from disconnected spreadsheets?

Radomentis can help turn fragmented operational data into a management story people can understand quickly — with the business logic, security and drill-down needed to move from insight to action.
