Project Finance & Controlling

Which projects are actually making money — and which are losing margin right now, while there is still time to act?

Project finance is the financial view of delivery: progress, cost, estimate to complete, billing and the result per project. In FinanceOS it is intended as the starting point of a line that continues into margin, forecast and cash.

Why today's systems do not close it

Three places the work leaks out.

Progress and cost live apart

Delivery reports percent complete, finance reports cost, and the two meet in a workbook once a month.

Estimate to complete is a judgement without a home

The most decision-relevant number in project business is maintained manually and rarely carries who changed it, or why.

The cash consequence arrives last

A milestone that slips changes billing, receivables and liquidity — usually discovered in that order, weeks apart.

Capabilities

What it does, concretely.

Project as a financial objectBudget, commitment, actual cost and revenue recognition held per project and per entity.
Progress and cost togetherDelivery progress and incurred cost read as one picture rather than reconciled afterwards.
Estimate to completeETC and EAC as maintained, attributable values with their change history, not as a spreadsheet column.
Margin per projectPlanned against expected against actual, at the level where a decision can still be taken.
Billing plans and milestonesWhat may be invoiced when, and what happens to that when delivery moves.
Change and claim contextScope changes and claims as events with a financial consequence, not as correspondence.
Portfolio viewWhich projects carry the result and which quietly consume it, across entities.
End to end

Control and evidence

Who may do what, and what it leaves behind.

Who may change the estimateA changed estimate to complete moves the reported result — so it carries an author and a reason.
Baseline disciplineA retrospectively changed baseline is visible as a change, not as a better past.
Evidence for the resultHow a project result came about can be reconstructed from the record rather than from the people involved.
Connected value

This module does not end here.

Each of these is a link. FinanceOS is worth more with every relevant domain that joins, because the domains work on one finance model instead of exchanging files.

Where this module takes part

Chains this module appears in.

Each chain starts with a business event and ends at a decision that is documented and closed. What this module contributes to it is stated on the chain.

Project → margin → cashChain Keeps progress, actual cost and completion on one project object and computes estimate to complete and estimate at completion. Capital investment performanceChain Where the investment is a project, progress, actual cost and estimate to complete arrive on the same object.

This module is part of FinanceOS and works on the same finance model, the same cross-functional capabilities and the same foundation as every other module. Its capabilities differ in maturity, and each one says which. What is not marked, we do not claim.
