# Bolt Consulting
Bolt Consulting helps London-based finance teams escape spreadsheet chaos and deliver faster, more reliable reporting. They work with Finance Directors and CFOs whose month-end close takes 12+ days, whose data lives scattered across conflicting versions, and whose teams spend more time copy-pasting than strategising.
The firm diagnoses what's actually broken—whether that's process, data quality, or technology—then builds tailored transformation roadmaps rather than pushing pre-packaged solutions. They've completed 200+ assessments and pride themselves on unbiased guidance, explicitly positioning against vendor sales pitches.
What sets them apart is pragmatism. They reject the "rip and replace" two-year transformation fantasy, instead focusing on "a few focused decisions, made well" that can compress month-end from 12 days to 3. They speak plainly about real costs: a finance analyst spending two weekends modelling board scenarios is a strategic decision made on incomplete information, and a talented FP&A person doing automatable work is one LinkedIn recruiter pitch away from leaving.
The business targets finance teams experiencing normalised chaos—the ones who've made broken systems work through sheer talent and effort, but recognise something better is possible. Their approach combines diagnostic clarity with honest technology selection, delivering independent recommendations rather than commissioned product placements.
