Helena Croft
Lead Close Auditor
Fifteen years in period-end reviews for mid-market UK finance teams. Focuses on reconciliation quality and cut-off.
Built for the days around period end
Networking Automation exists for controllers and finance directors who need an independent read on the close — without turning month-end into a second full audit.
We work from Norfolk and remotely across the United Kingdom. Engagements follow your close calendar: we arrive when reconciliations should be complete, not when the trial balance is still moving.
Our practice focuses on month-end close audits — substantiating balances, testing cut-off, and checking that the pack handed to the board or external auditors can be defended line by line.
How we work
- Scope is agreed against your chart of accounts and materiality before fieldwork.
- Findings name the account, the amount, and the evidence gap — not generic risk language.
- We do not replace your finance team; we pressure-test the work they already perform.
