An Outsourced Accounting Function, Designed Like an In-House Function

WHAT SETS US APART
Real-Time Accounting, Built Around the Business
For businesses that entrust us with their accounting function, our role goes beyond recording transactions at the end of a reporting period.
We have developed an organization that enables us to continuously monitor the company’s financial flows and progressively reconcile different sources of information: invoices, bank transactions, payments and accounting data.
This organization is supported by document digitization, electronic management of accounting records, bank monitoring, and control and reconciliation processes.
The objective is to enable businesses to have regularly updated financial information, rather than waiting until the end of the reporting period to understand their financial position.
Digitization & Document Management
The quality of an accounting function also depends on the quality of the document management processes that support it.
CGS implements processes to digitize, centralize and organize our clients’ accounting documents, while ensuring their processing and archiving within a structured environment.
This organization facilitates access to the documents required for day-to-day management, year-end closing, controls and audits, while strengthening information traceability.

Banking, Reconciliations & Reporting
Accounting monitoring creates real value when it enables the company to understand its financial position as its business activity unfolds.
We monitor bank transactions, reconcile them with accounting data and prepare regularly updated financial information.
Depending on the company’s needs, this organization can support the production of periodic reporting, including income statements, accounting positions, and reports for management or international groups.
Providing management with a regular and reliable view of the entity’s performance.
Supplier Payment Management
As an extension of our support for the finance function, we can also assist our clients in organizing and preparing their supplier payment processes.
