Finance Operations
Finance Shared Services Center
Overview
As organizations expand across entities, geographies, and service lines, finance operations often become fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to control. Manual processes multiply, month-end close slows down, teams operate in silos, and leadership loses visibility into true financial performance.
A modern Finance Shared Service Center (FSSC) addresses these challenges by standardizing processes, centralizing execution, and applying technology and governance across the entire finance value chain.
At ACS SYNERGY, our FSSC solutions help organizations transition from reactive, people-dependent accounting practices to integrated, technology-enabled finance operations that improve accuracy, speed, and scalability. Our model is designed for mid-sized businesses and multi-entity groups that need reliable, cost-effective recurring execution paired with the discipline and structure of a modern finance organization.

FSSC Setup, Optimization & Transformation
Modernizing the Finance Backbone of Your Business
​
Whether designing a new shared service center or transforming an existing one, our approach focuses on building a finance execution engine that is scalable, predictable, and insight-driven.
Operating Model & Process Architecture
We design a clear operating model defining what processes sit in the FSSC, what remains in business units, and how service delivery works end-to-end. This includes RACIs, SLAs, control points, and workflow governance.
Standardized, Documented Workflows (SOPs)
Consistent execution is the foundation of shared services. We develop SOPs covering AP, AR, bank reconciliation, month-end close, reporting cycles, and compliance obligations.
Internal Control Frameworks
​
We embed approvals, segregation of duties, exception-handling processes, and audit-ready documentation, ensuring that the FSSC strengthens—not weakens—organizational control.
Technology Enablement & Automation
We implement cloud accounting tools, workflow automation, OCR/data extraction tools, and reporting dashboards that reduce manual work and improve visibility.
Performance Management & SLA Governance
We design KPIs, dashboards, escalation paths, and quarterly service reviews to ensure the FSSC delivers predictable performance and continuous improvement.
Transition & Migration Management
We guide the organization through phased migration of processes, staff training, data transition, and stabilization.
​
This integrated approach turns a decentralized accounting environment into a highly structured, well-governed finance function that scales seamlessly as the business grows.
Multi-Entity Consolidation Support
Providing Structure, Control, and Confidence Across the Group
​
Multi-entity organizations often struggle with consolidation due to inconsistent charts of accounts, currency complexities, timing differences, intercompany mismatches, and manual spreadsheets.
ACS SYNERGY provides a disciplined consolidation framework that ensures group-level reporting is timely, accurate, and compliant.
