• Improve visibility on key metrics (e.g., deal flow, commissions, lender performance)

• Support development of scalable reporting via BI tools - ThoughtSpot

• Streamline and automate manual reporting and reconciliation processes

• Improve speed and accuracy of month-end and reporting cycles

• Help implement or optimise FP&A / finance systems as the business grows
