SERVICES

Data Products. SME Economics.

Two complementary financial lines, powered by Python forensic engines with strict validation rules — built for Flanders manufacturers and Brussels grant managers.

Line A — SAP S/4HANA Data Ops

For CFOs of mid-market manufacturers in Flanders running on legacy SAP ECC, with no in-house data engineering team.

"My migration costs €1.5M and my Fixed Asset data is too dirty to load. The system integrator is going to blame me when the project gets delayed by six months."

1 Migration preparation

A·1 — SAP Legacy Data Sanitizer

In simple terms: before migrating to S/4HANA, we audit and clean your legacy financial data (assets, cost centers) so it loads into the new system error-free. Instead of discovering broken data too late — as happens in over half of these migrations —, we catch every issue before migration starts.

Input Port Your SAP ECC reports for fixed assets, cost centers, and internal orders.

Forensic Engine 9 S/4HANA business rules — asset class mapping, capitalization-date anomalies, APC vs. NBV discrepancies.

Output Port Cleaned CSV files ready for Migration Cockpit, readiness score dashboard, and exception report.

Value Metric Less than 2% rejection rate when loading to the new system.

Format 2 to 4 weeks.

2 Monthly retainer

A·2 — Fractional SAP FI/CO Controller

In simple terms: ongoing financial control for your SAP without hiring a full-time Finance Manager. We close your books monthly, clean open items, and generate automated reporting so you know your exact financial health without waiting until month-end.

Input Port Access to your SAP FI/CO, bank statements, and budget vs. actuals.

Forensic Engine Bank-to-accounting reconciliation, open items matching, depreciation runs — on a continuous basis.

Output Port Automated financial dashboard, suggested closing entries, and deviation alerts.

Value Metric Monthly close ready by day +3.

Format Retainer of 8 to 16 hours per month.

Line B — EU Grant Compliance Automation

For Grant Managers and Finance Directors at Brussels NGOs and research consortia funded by Horizon Europe.

"I have a €5M grant. A 5% error in timesheets means returning hundreds of thousands of euros. I want to sleep peacefully before the auditor arrives."

1 Forensic validation

B·1 — AGA v2.0 Timesheet Validator

In simple terms: we check your timesheets against the exact rules required by the European Commission (including Belgian public holidays) — and tell you in minutes exactly which entries an auditor would reject, before they do.

Input Port Your staff timesheets and personnel contracts.

Forensic Engine Maximum daily FTE capacity, out-of-grant dates, Belgian public holidays, annual 1,734h FTE ceiling.

Output Port Compliance traffic light dashboard, conformity score, and exact cells HR needs to fix.

Value Metric Less than 0.5% error rate on timesheets.

Format 1 to 2 weeks.

2 Pre-audit preparation

B·2 — Horizon Europe Dossier Generator

In simple terms: we take your SAP accounting and validated timesheets, and build the cost report in the exact Form C format required by the European Commission — ensuring you are fully prepared for your audit.

Input Port Your SAP balances by cost center, invoices, validated timesheets, and project structure.

Forensic Engine Eligible costs criteria, lump sum rules, Work Package to general ledger cross-checks.

Output Port Structured financial dossier, Form C ready for submission, with complete data lineage.

Value Metric Audit-ready.

Format Pre-audit preparation sprint.
