The Platform

Where your systems end, PRISM begins.

PRISM sits as a command center over your ERP, HCM, tax, treasury, and banking stack, orchestrating AI-enabled finance work with built-in controls, real-time dashboards, and SLA-grade accountability on every transaction.

Work is completed and summarized in PRISM, with dashboards tailored by role: weekly and close checklists, approval workflows, and upcoming milestones. It is live today, processing real client data across active engagements.

P · R · I · S · M

Five capabilities, one operating system for finance.

Each letter of PRISM is a capability that runs in your finance operations every day, and a measurable outcome you can hold it to.

P

Process Visibility

Real-time visibility into finance workflows: monitor transaction status, identify bottlenecks, and ensure end-to-end transparency across the close cycle.

Close cycle up to 40% faster
R

Risk Mitigation & Control

Proactive controls and continuous risk monitoring embedded in daily operations, with automated exception detection, audit-ready documentation, and escalation workflows.

Fewer audit findings, always audit-ready
I

Intelligent Capacity Throughput

Best-in-class technology reduces demand on team capacity, driving higher throughput without sacrificing accuracy or increasing headcount.

More output, no headcount increase
S

Service Performance Metrics

Cycle times and quality KPIs tracked through role-based dashboards, providing actionable insight for continuous service improvement and leadership reporting.

SLA accountability on every transaction
M

Model-Driven Insights

Predictive analytics and scenario modeling that support strategic decision-making, surfacing forward-looking intelligence for the business.

Finance stays aligned with the business
Why it can be trusted

AI does the work. A CPA signs off.

PRISM pairs AI agents with lean, experienced CFGI teams, built on controls that do not move.

Documented Process

Every engagement runs on SOX-grade process documentation: swim lanes, control points, and a clear owner for every step.

CPA Sign-Off

AI does the work. A CFGI CPA reviews and signs off at every control point before anything reaches your books.

Continuous Monitoring

The general ledger is monitored continuously, with anomalies flagged before close, not discovered after.

What PRISM orchestrates

A full operating scope for the office of the CFO.

Scope is modular. Start with your highest-pain process and expand from there. Controllership is CFGI’s core strength and the typical starting point.

Controllership

Close management, financial statement preparation, reconciliations, and controls documentation built for audit from the start.

FP&A

Budgeting, forecasting, board and investor reporting packages, and KPI and management reporting.

Tax

Compliance filings and tax function support, coordinated with the rest of the finance operating model.

AP / AR

Procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processing, with reconciliation built into the same output-based contract.

Treasury

Cash management and banking relationships, liquidity and covenant reporting, and intercompany funding.

Payroll & HR

Payroll onboarding, processing and tax filing, plus compensation plan management across options, RSUs and stock.

Value Creation

KPIs and management insight beyond typical reporting packages, including outputs that support the value creation plan.

And More

Risk, SOX support and cyber can be added to scope as the business requires. Final scope is set together at the workshop.

How we’d start

A structured, risk-managed transition.

From design through go-live, with built-in continuity safeguards, change-management playbooks, and zero-gap handoffs. A typical transition runs four to eight weeks.

Phase 1: Design & Contract
1. Define outputs for strategic success
What do you really need to run the business? Define the required outputs for success.
2. Offering design sync
Business case with client specifics, aligned on customized savings and timeline.
3. Transition plan & risk register
Key dates, process detail, and a risk log covering dependencies, migration risks, and interim controls.
Phase 2: Launch Managed Services
4. Mobilize plan
Weekly status tracking against the stand-up plan, led by your delivery team.
5. Shadow & change management
Knowledge share, stakeholder comms, role-impact assessment, and process playbooks. No institutional knowledge lost.
6. Continuity validation
Go / no-go checklist: parallel testing, escalation paths, rollback plan. We do not go live until you sign off on readiness.
7. Go live with CFGI
Full operations under CFGI. Escalation protocols active, PRISM live with real-time visibility into every process.
8. Continuous improvement
Iterate, assess, improve. Enhancement driven by PRISM data and quarterly business reviews.
Clarifying the model

What this is, and what it is not.

The distinction that matters most: this is a committed operating outcome, not a staffing arrangement or a software seat.

PRISM is not

  • Staff augmentation
  • An extension of traditional advisory, tax, or transaction delivery
  • A one-off project with no path to scale
  • A software seat you have to run yourself

PRISM is

  • A committed operating outcome
  • A dedicated CFGI team backed by AI agents
  • Live today, across active clients
  • Run for you, start to finish
