Most companies treat finance as something to "plug in later." Core systems (ERP, POS, CRM, ops tools) are chosen and configured by IT, sales, or operations. Accounting copes with Excel workarounds to close the books. FP&A then has to buy separate, expensive planning tools just to get basic insight, because the underlying data was never designed for decision support.
Finance is at the center of every decision we help you make
Messy records. Systems that don't integrate. Month-end drag. FP&A buried in spreadsheets. You've invested in tools, but you're still wrestling with manual work. Zirconn Black transforms this chaos into clarity. We clean your data, connect your systems, and build finance functions that drive decisions, not just compliance. Stop reacting. Start leading.

What problem can we solve together?
We deliver decision-ready finance functions. With hands-on expertise in ERP, consolidation, FP&A and AI, we keep your finance team secure, compliant and strategically empowered.
ERP Implementation & Optimization
Your ERP should enable decisions, not slow them down. We help you select, implement and optimize Business Central, Odoo, Xero or NetSuite. From chart of accounts design to integration architecture, we ensure your system works for you, and we stick around post-go-live to support your team.
FP&A built for strategy, not just reporting. We design FP&A processes, budgeting frameworks and management reporting packs that leadership actually uses. Whether you need EPM platforms or Excel and AI-enabled workflows, we build driver-based planning that helps you decide before the market moves.
Group reporting without the headaches. We set up consolidation processes, intercompany frameworks and data quality controls that give you confidence in your numbers. We build decision-ready data models plus month-end close processes and QC checklists that turn chaos into clarity.
AI that works for finance, not against it. We identify high-impact AI use cases (reconciliations, anomaly detection, scenario modelling) and design lightweight workflows with the right governance. We train your finance teams to use AI tools effectively and safely.
Messy records cost you time and money. We clean up your accounting data, fix system errors and configurations, and prepare your books for audits and tax compliance. From reconciliations to journal corrections, we ensure your records are audit-ready and your systems are clean.
Your team is your biggest asset, so we make sure they're equipped. We train finance teams on ERP systems, Excel automation, AI tools and data quality best practices. From hands-on workshops to ongoing coaching, we build capability that lasts long after we're gone.
No driver-level detail, inconsistent dimensions across ERP, CRM and BI, ops metrics outside finance, timing mismatches and free-text "sundry" accounts. Surveys show 46% of FP&A time goes to data collection and validation (OneStream).
Tools
FP&A pays twice for bolt-on tools
Mid-market planning tools often run $30kâ$150k+ per year on top of the ERP already paid for. Buying another FP&A tool is a symptom, not the solution.
AI
Finance should lead systems and AI
Define a minimum viable data model, with required dimensions, mandatory fields and validation rules. AI agents for reconciliations and forecasting only work with clean, structured data.
