Specialist manufacturing
Linden Works
Linden Works had a growing operation, but its monthly accounts arrived too late and without the explanations leadership needed to act.
Monthly close
8 days
Accounts reconciled
100%
Reporting delivery
5 days
From uncertainty
to informed action
The challenge
The monthly close depended on information from different teams, with no consistent timetable or clear ownership. Reconciliations remained incomplete, reporting was delayed, and significant movements were not explained clearly enough for leadership to understand what had changed.
Evermont’s approach
Evermont rebuilt the close around clear responsibilities, deadlines, and review points. Key accounts were reconciled systematically, supporting information was collected earlier, and reporting was redesigned to explain the movements most relevant to leadership.
The financial work
behind the progress
Evermont mapped every stage of the monthly close, from transaction cut-off and information requests to reconciliations, review, and final reporting. Responsibilities were assigned across the finance and operational teams, with a shared timetable showing what was required and when. Standard reconciliation templates and review controls improved the reliability of the accounts. A focused monthly reporting pack brought together results, comparisons, and commentary, allowing leadership to understand the numbers while they were still useful.
