What it is
A structured, independent review of your end-to-end purchase-to-pay process — from how you raise purchase orders through to how you pay suppliers.
I'll map what's happening now, identify what's slowing things down or causing errors, and deliver a clear written report with prioritised recommendations you can act on immediately.
A key part of the review is turning your day-to-day P2P activity into management information you can actually use. Where the data exists — in your ERP, finance system, purchasing tool, or even spreadsheets — I'll help you build a single, holistic view of spend and process performance. So decisions are based on what the data shows, not what people think is happening.
What you’ll get
A written P2P Health Report covering your current process, risks, and gaps
A prioritised action plan — what to fix first, second, and later
Plain-English explanations throughout — no finance jargon
A follow-up call to walk through the findings together
A practical “P2P reporting pack” (or reporting requirements) so you can answer the questions stakeholders always ask, such as:
Which suppliers are actually being used (and where is spend concentrated)?
What are we buying most often, and what’s the average price paid by item/category?
Who is raising requisitions/POs, who is approving, and where are bottlenecks?
Where are service or quality issues showing up (supplier performance, returns, disputes)?
Are invoices being approved late — and is that causing payment delays, missed discounts, or supplier queries?
What risks exist in the controls (missing documents, maverick spend, inconsistent authorisation levels)?
How often are POs raised after the invoice arrives (and why)?
How accurate are supplier invoices (error rates, duplicates, mismatches)?
If you already use an advanced reporting/analytics tool (e.g., within your P2P suite) we’ll use it. If not, I’ll define what to extract, from which systems, and the fastest way to produce meaningful analysis — without creating a huge “data project”.
