Case StudyBy Nura Linggih
20+ hours a week, down to under 30 minutes.
A law firm was spending more than 20 hours every week on finance reconciliation. The work was spread across four people and competed with the rest of their responsibilities.
What had become a week-long administrative burden now takes under 30 minutes to review.
A reconciliation process built for review
The recurring work now runs automatically instead of asking the team to repeat the same reconciliation by hand. Their role is focused on reviewing the result rather than producing it line by line.
That change keeps people responsible for the financial judgement while removing the volume of repetitive administration around it.
What changed
- More than 20 hours became under 30 minutes: The weekly reconciliation shifted from production work to review.
- Four people were released from the routine: The same team can spend its time on work that requires attention and judgement.
The result is not simply a faster spreadsheet. It is a smaller, clearer responsibility for the finance team every week.
