The Challenge

A mission-critical enterprise billing system was crippled by a 100% invoice failure rate and 45-day delivery delays. The business was bleeding capital through critical revenue leakage and generating massive sales-related errors due to an obsolete, fragmented product catalogue.

The Restructuring

Following a finance leadership exit, I assumed full operational ownership of the billing function to execute a complete turnaround. I didn’t just “patch” the code; I re-architected the entire Translation Layer between technical delivery and commercial billing.

  • Quote-to-Cash Audit: Executed a systematic re-engineering of the entire pipeline across Sales, Operations, and Finance.
  • CPQ Implementation: Led the selection and deployment of the company’s first Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) system, alongside a major overhaul of the product catalogue.
  • Cross-Functional Governance: Designed and implemented a collaborative process and exception-handling framework, uniting historically siloed departments to stabilise operations.

“We don’t just manage the chaos. We architect it out.”

The ROI

The results were immediate and systemic. We reduced sales-related billing errors by over 90%, achieved an invoice delivery rate of over 98% within the target timeframe, and permanently closed the critical revenue leakage gaps that had been draining the organisation.
