ControlIQ: putting financial control in order in six weeks
In brief. ControlIQ is Big4PM's six-week mission to put a company's or group's financial control in order. Our team reviews 52 control points, sets up a rolling 13-week cash forecast and builds reporting the owner, the board and the banks can rely on.
Who it is for
- A multi-entity group with slow or unreliable consolidation.
- A company that has grown faster than its procedures.
- An owner preparing a fundraising, acquisition or sale who knows the buyer or lender will test the numbers.
What you receive
- A review of 52 control points: closing, cash, purchasing, sales, inventory, payroll, tax, systems.
- A rolling 13-week cash forecast and the method to keep it current.
- A monthly dashboard for the owner and the board.
- A prioritised remediation plan.
Why it underpins a capital decision
Buyers, funds and banks always start by testing the reliability of the figures. Sound financial control reduces price adjustments and warranties in a sale.
What comes next
The forecast and routines are kept up to date under Strategic Capital Partner.

Every mission is carried out by a dedicated team of senior specialists, overseen by our founder, Noria Bacha.
