Left side shows expertise pillar labels activated at each tier: Tier 1 = Governance + Reporting; Tier 2 = +Performance; Tier 3 = +Planning; Tier 4 = All four. Below the stack, a separate dashed bar: 'Professional Services'. Brand palette: teal #07BEB0 and purple #774BE5. No decorative elements.
Management reporting infrastructure operated by Onetribe: governed close cycle, documented KPI framework, and management pack delivered on Day 5, every cycle.
The managed service that adds performance driver insight to your reporting foundation — profitability by product, customer, and channel, with variance decomposition and margin analysis operated every cycle.
The managed service that adds multi-entity consolidation, plan-vs-actuals tracking, and rolling projection capability — the complete picture across entities, dimensions, and time horizons.
A comprehensive external finance controlling function — the complete Finance Decision Operating System, operated continuously by Onetribe, integrated with your management and board decision cycle.
Project-based
Project-based finance engagements for specific analytical needs — M&A support, business valuation, financial modelling, and strategic finance initiatives scoped and delivered independently of the core controlling service.
The right entry point depends on your role and what is most pressing.
By role
CFO / Finance Director
→ Managed Financial Controlling
You need a comprehensive, proactive controlling function integrated with your management cycle — not just reporting outputs delivered on schedule.
FP&A Lead / Finance Manager
→ Financial Reporting
You need a reliable reporting foundation — governed close cycle, KPI framework, management pack — before adding analytical layers.
CEO / COO
→ Performance & Profitability
You need driver clarity — which products, customers, and channels make money, and why performance moves the way it does.
Group CFO / Board
→ Planning, Projection & Group Analytics
You need consolidated group view, plan-vs-actuals tracking, and forward-looking projection capability across entities.
By presenting problem
"Finance produces reports but nobody trusts them — or the close takes two weeks"
→ Financial Reporting
"We know what happened but not why — or which segments are actually profitable"
→ Performance & Profitability
"Group consolidation is manual and we cannot track plan vs. actuals reliably"
→ Planning, Projection & Group Analytics
"We need a complete external controlling function without building an internal team"
→ Managed Financial Controlling
Detailed descriptions, quality metrics, governance areas, and system connections
Onetribe provides a productized financial controlling service — not software, not a one-time consulting engagement, not general finance outsourcing.
The service implements the Finance Decision Operating System: four finance disciplines (Governance & Data Trust, Reporting, Performance Analysis, Planning & Projections) operated as one integrated controlling function. It is structured as four escalating capability levels, each building on the one below. Every higher level includes everything from the levels beneath it.
Financial Reporting is the foundation. Governance and Reporting expertise active. The management reporting infrastructure is designed and operated: KPI framework with governed definitions, close cycle discipline, data model, and management pack. Designed for single-entity organisations. The baseline before any other capability layer is added.
Performance & Profitability adds the analytical layer. Performance Analysis expertise added. Profitability by product, customer, and channel — with a single governed cost allocation methodology. Variance decomposition by price, volume, mix, and cost driver. Insight-to-action log operating every cycle.
Planning, Projection & Group Analytics adds multi-entity consolidation and forward-view capability. Planning & Projections expertise added. All four pillars active. Group consolidated reporting on the close schedule, plan-vs-actuals tracking at the driver level, rolling 12-month model, scenario architecture with documented triggers.
Managed Financial Controlling is the comprehensive service. All four pillars at full depth, operated as one integrated controlling function. Proactive insight delivery. Board pack and audit committee support. Strategic finance integration. Deep partnership with the management and board decision cycle.
The service does not include:
This is financial controlling and reporting, operated continuously. Not a full finance function. Not IT services.
Each service level has a defined scope. There is no option to skip the foundation.
Performance analysis requires a trusted reporting baseline. A driver decomposition that starts with disputed numbers produces disputed insights. Planning infrastructure requires observed-driver data from performance analysis to build projections that stay connected to reality.
The escalation is structural — each level creates the prerequisite conditions for the next.
Outside the core service levels, Onetribe provides project-based Professional Services for specific analytical needs: M&A due diligence, business valuation, financial modelling, finance function design, and strategic finance initiatives. These are separately scoped and priced, and do not require a core service relationship.
Every engagement begins with a structured diagnostic — mapping the current state against the Finance Decision Operating System baseline and identifying the specific gaps the service will address. Design and build phases follow. Ongoing operation begins at go-live.
The diagnostic findings define the scope. The scope defines the service level. There is no obligation to commit to the full service before the diagnostic is complete.
