Model
What is Finance as a Service (FaaS)?
Finance as a Service (FaaS) is a managed operating model where ValDatum becomes your outsourced finance function. Rather than building large in-house teams, we supply senior finance leadership and a specialized team that executes accounting, reporting, FP&A, and technical accounting — supported by automation and best-practice controls. The model is designed to deliver accuracy, speed, and predictable costs so you can scale without replacing leadership or losing control.
Our delivery model: a dedicated offshore team plus US-based finance leads, a weekly cadence, secure data practices, and documented SOPs for continuity.

Budgeting, forecasting & FP&A
Driver-based budgeting, rolling forecasts, scenario modeling, KPI design, and variance analysis. We convert raw data into actionable management insights to guide decisions.
Transactional accounting
Daily transactional processing including AP, AR, payroll liaison, expense management, bank reconciliation, and supplier reconciliations — executed with strict controls and SLAs.
Technical accounting & clean-up
Account re-structuring, chart-of-accounts rationalization, historical clean-ups, GAAP alignment, and audit remediation to prepare for investors or statutory audits.

Clean ledgers, resolve aged reconciling items, implement accounting policies, and document month-end workflows to ensure reliable numbers.
Automate & integrate
Design ETL pipelines, integrate source systems, automate recurring journal entries, and build dashboards to reduce manual work.
