Finora

A back-office platform that replaced a patchwork of spreadsheets and email approvals with a single auditable workflow for financial operations teams.

Project overview

Finora needed an operations platform where every financial action — request, review, approval, settlement — left a trace. The existing process spanned four tools and depended heavily on individual knowledge.

Challenge

Approvals were slow and impossible to audit. Rules lived in people's heads, reporting was assembled manually at month end, and onboarding a new operations hire took weeks.

Solution

We modelled the approval chain explicitly, built a rules engine the operations team can configure themselves, and made every state change an immutable event with a full audit trail.

Design

A dense, keyboard-first interface designed for people who use the product all day: bulk actions, saved views, inline detail panels and a consistent hierarchy across every queue.

Development

An event-sourced service layer behind a typed API, with background workers for settlement jobs, contract tests against partner systems, and load testing against projected peak volumes.

Key features

Configurable approval rules

Thresholds, roles and escalation paths edited by the operations team without a release.

Immutable audit log

Every state change recorded with actor, timestamp and reason, exportable for auditors.

Reconciliation workspace

Side-by-side matching with exception queues and one-click resolution.

Role-based access

Granular permissions with separation of duties enforced at the API layer.
