Advisory · Sydney, Australia

The finance function,
rebuilt.

Countersign is Sanchay Grover's finance practice — controllership, FP&A, and cost intelligence for owner-CEOs and CFOs of multi-entity businesses. Senior work delivered directly. Software where it makes the work faster; a real controller where judgement matters.

Rebuilt inside the tools you already own.

Financial Control
The close, done cleaner.
  1. 01
    AP and payroll
    Invoices and pay runs captured, coded and routed for approval. Your team approves; the system keys.
  2. 02
    Reconciliation, made visible
    Mismatches surface across systems as they happen — a live control instead of a month-end scramble.
  3. 03
    Journals and accruals
    Rule-based postings calculated and drafted automatically. Your team reviews the exceptions.
  4. 04
    Statutory financials
    Listed and unlisted accounts built to standard and audit-ready, without rebuilding the workbook each period.
FP&A
The reporting, done for you.
  1. 01
    Board packs and exec decks
    Monthly board and management reporting assembled automatically. You review; you don't build.
  2. 02
    Cash and P&L, on schedule
    Rolling visibility across entities on a set cadence — same pack, same day, every month.
  3. 03
    Cost and pricing intelligence
    What the business pays for versus what it actually uses. Pricing benchmarked against the market.
  4. 04
    Research-backed forecasts
    Market, competitor and macro research built into the budget. Assumptions you can defend in the room.

Two ways in. Same practice behind both.

Advisory

Fixed-scope engagements.

When you need someone in the room for a specific problem — a group cost audit, an intercompany reconciliation, a vendor renegotiation, a due-diligence response, an insourcing program. Direct line to Sanchay. No retainers, no scope creep.

Financial Consultant · Founder, Countersign

Sanchay Grover

Financial Consultant. FP&A leader. Fifteen years of senior finance experience across global insurance, financial services, and multi-entity software groups — spanning controllership, financial planning & analysis, and finance transformation.

Countersign is the productised version of the work I already do — daily, for the businesses I've been embedded in. Sentinel is the software layer that makes it scalable to other owners. The judgement is not automated. It's mine.

"Sanchay finds the numbers no one else is looking for. The AWS audit alone paid for itself twenty times over."

A 20-minute call is the fastest way in.

Tell me the shape of your group — number of entities, consolidated revenue, current cost owner. I'll come to the call with three specific hypotheses about where the finance function is likely leaking time or money. If Advisory is the right shape, we'll scope it. If Sentinel is, we'll price it.
