How Bill Works

Approach

Start with the source, not the summary

Reporting can be wrong for a long time before anyone notices. Bill works back to the original records to establish what actually happened, rather than accepting the version the system has been producing.

Fix the cause, not the symptom

A number that keeps coming out wrong is usually a structural problem wearing a disguise. The useful work is finding where process, people, or structure stopped matching the business — then rebuilding around that.

Finish and hand it back

The engagement is meant to end. Documented processes, records in order, and people trained to run what has been built. An assignment that turns into a permanent dependency has missed the point.
