About

A practitioner, not a training company.

Background

Where the opinions come from

Independent Workday Financials consulting since 2022: data conversion architecture, financial reporting, professional services automation, grants and sponsored programs, customer contracts, and integration work including bank payment files and settlement.

That work has run across healthcare, asset management and hedge funds, professional services and accounting firms, higher education, commercial real estate, insurance, non-profits, logistics and enterprise technology. Different industries, the same question underneath: can you produce the evidence when somebody asks for it.

The controls and audit material in these products comes from having sat on the other side of it, supporting external audits on expense approval matrices and journal event access reviews. The chart of accounts material comes from having designed and remapped them under deadline.

Saintilco is the consulting practice and it is deliberately separate from my employment. Nothing on this site draws on any employer's systems, data or work.

How I work

Three things worth saying plainly

Prices are published. Every comparable offering in this market says contact us, which wastes your time and mine.

I say what I have not seen. The Workday rate card and credit policy are not public and I have not read them, so anything drawing on them is labelled third-party reported.

I will tell you if this is the wrong purchase. If the calculator says your exposure is four thousand dollars, do not buy an eight hundred and fifty dollar kit to manage it.

Get in touch

Questions about any of this, or a problem that does not fit the three things on offer.
