Controllership that runs the close — and the projects that fix it.
Cagni Finance & Advisory leads finance projects and controllership for high-volume, multi-entity businesses: systems implementations, close redesign, reconciliation and AI-assisted automation — with the controls to keep everything audit-ready. Experience built in a global operation, applied at your scale.
Finance shouldn't be the bottleneck.
As a business scales, spreadsheets stretch, reconciliations lag and closes slip — whether the volume comes from PSPs and card schemes, invoices and subscriptions, or on-chain flows. We combine senior controllership with pragmatic automation and AI to remove the manual work, tighten the numbers, and keep the finance function audit-ready.
Six services. One discipline: controllership, automation and AI that scale.
What a senior controller brings to the table.
Financial & management reporting
IFRS, US GAAP and Dutch GAAP reporting, plus the analytics your business partners actually use.
Balance sheet integrity & compliance
Account ownership, substantiation and SOx-aligned controls that hold up under audit.
Process improvement & automation
Standardised procedures, tooling and AI-assisted workflows that take manual steps out for good.
Project & change leadership
Scoping, testing and landing change across multiple teams, systems and functions.
Stakeholder partnership
Translating between finance, product and engineering so decisions get made and stick.
Team leadership & coaching
Leading and developing accounting teams so your people run the process after handover.
Start small, prove value, then scale.
Diagnose & scope· 2–3 weeks
A focused review of your close, reconciliation bottlenecks and automation maturity — with the problem, success criteria and materiality agreed before anything is built.
Design, build & test· 6–8 weeks
We solve your single biggest bottleneck: an automated reconciliation pipeline into your ERP, a systems migration, a chart-of-accounts remap, or a delayed close recovered — tested against live operations.
Stabilise & scale· ongoing
Documentation, training and a defined owner — then ongoing controllership, reconciliation and reporting support with senior review throughout.
Built for businesses where finance has to keep up with volume.
Marketplaces & high-volume platforms
Travel, e-commerce and subscription businesses with settlement complexity and data outside the ledger.
Scale-ups implementing an ERP
Someone senior owning the finance side of the project, not just the software configuration.
Shared service & finance centres
Standardising and automating processes across entities, countries and teams.
FinTech, payments & digital assets
Regulated flows, safeguarding, on-chain reconciliation and reporting that regulators accept.
Companies preparing for audit or expansion
First statutory audit, a new entity, or a control environment that has to grow up fast.
Teams needing an interim project lead
One initiative, a defined timeline, and a senior owner accountable for delivery.
Senior oversight. Efficient delivery.
A senior, client-facing lead
Allan Cagni designs your workflows, manages stakeholders across product, engineering and finance, and owns senior US GAAP, IFRS and Dutch GAAP review.
A specialist delivery team
Bilingual, Big-Four-trained accountants handle daily reconciliations, transaction parsing and back-office execution under direct supervision.
The result — enterprise-quality delivery at a competitive cost, without adding local headcount.
Built by a senior controller, for finance leaders.
Allan Roque Cagni is a Brazilian Registered Accountant (CRC-SP) with around a decade of multi-jurisdictional finance experience across Latin America, the UK and Europe. His career spans statutory audit, IFRS group reporting and payments controllership, with hands-on experience in regulated digital-asset environments. Today he leads projects accounting and a small team at a global online travel platform — owning cross-functional initiatives across finance, FinTech and finance systems. That is the same discipline he brings here: reconciliation, month-end close, project delivery and the automation — increasingly AI-assisted — that keeps finance functions audit-ready as they scale.
