Why owners call us

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

01
Senior experience, on your side

25+ years as CFO, head of group audit and finance manager — applied directly to your business.

02
Built for how you actually trade

Retail, wholesale and manufacturing — the realities of stock, credit and cash, not textbook theory.

03
Every scale, taken seriously

From an LKR 5M shop to an LKR 500M operation — the same care, without the big-firm price tag.

—The problem we solve

Most businesses don't fail on effort.
They fail on visibility.

You can feel when something's off — cash is tight in a good month, stock keeps growing, debtors keep slipping. But feeling it isn't the same as seeing it. We turn the guesswork into numbers you can act on.

Running on instinct
  • Profit on paper, but never enough cash in the bank.
  • Stock everywhere, and no clear view of what's actually moving.
  • Debtors paying late, bad debts quietly piling up.
  • Big decisions made on a gut feel, not a number.
Running on numbers
  • A monthly view of where the money truly is — and where it's going.
  • Inventory under control, dead stock found and cleared.
  • Money collected on time, bad debts cut down.
  • Decisions backed by reporting that actually informs them.
—What we do

Seven disciplines.
One solid foundation.

Everything from setting up the right systems to keeping cash, stock and controls in order — the full work of a finance function, delivered in the parts you need, when you need them.

01

Financial Management &
Business Structuring

The backbone of the whole operation — the accounts, the reporting and the cash discipline that let you see the business clearly and plan ahead with confidence.

  • Setting up accounting systems — from manual to computerized
  • Chart of accounts designed around your business
  • Monthly management accounts & reporting
  • Cash flow planning and control
  • Budgeting and forecasting
02

Debtors & Credit Control

Turn sales into cash. We tighten how credit is given and collected, so money in the market comes back to you faster — and stays out of bad debt.

  • Debtors aging analysis
  • Credit policy design
  • Collection strategies and follow-ups
  • Reducing bad debts
  • Improving the cash conversion cycle
03

Inventory & Cost Control

Stock is cash sitting on a shelf. We build the systems to value it properly, reorder sensibly, and find the leaks that quietly drain margin.

  • Stock control system setup
  • Valuation methods — FIFO, weighted average & more
  • Reorder level systems
  • Slow-moving & dead stock identification
  • Costing systems — job and batch costing
04

Accounting System Implementation

The right software, set up the right way. We pick the system that fits how you work, configure it, and make sure your people can actually run it.

  • Recommending suitable systems
  • System setup and customization
  • Staff training
  • Migration from manual to digital
05

Internal Controls & Fraud Prevention

Trust, properly structured. We design the checks and separations that protect your cash and stock — and stand up to scrutiny when the auditors arrive.

  • Reviewing existing processes
  • Designing internal control systems
  • Segregation of duties
  • Fraud risk assessment
  • Audit preparation support
06

Business Process Improvement

Less friction, less waste. We map how work really flows between your departments and put clear procedures in place so the business runs smoother as it grows.

  • Workflow analysis
  • SOP — standard operating procedure — development
  • Reducing operational waste
  • Improving coordination between departments
07

Tax & Compliance

Stay on the right side of the rules without the stress. We keep your records compliant and act as the steady link between you, your auditors and the tax office.

  • VAT, NBT and income tax basics
  • Record-keeping for compliance
  • Liaising with auditors and tax consultants
—How we work

Unhurried, hands-on,
and built to last.

We don't parachute in with a template. We learn how your business actually runs, set the foundation right, and stay alongside you while the new habits take hold.

STEP 01

Listen & assess

We start with a free conversation and an honest read of where your numbers stand today — no jargon, no judgement.

STEP 02

Set the foundation

We put the right systems, accounts and controls in place — the base everything else is built on.

STEP 03

Build the discipline

Cash, stock and credit brought under control, with reporting that turns into real decisions.

STEP 04

Stay alongside

We remain the senior finance hand you can call — through the awkward months as well as the good ones.

—Who we work with

Serious about your business?
Then you're a good fit.

We're built for owners who want to run things properly — first-generation founders who built it by hand, and second-generation operators professionalising what they inherited.

LKR 5M → 500M

25+ yrs
Senior finance leadership

CFO, head of group audit and finance manager — the depth of a big-company finance team, on call for yours.

—About Finstone

A senior finance hand, made reachable.

Role
Finance Manager
The day-to-day discipline of running a finance function

Finstone was built on a simple observation: the businesses that most need real finance leadership are often the ones least able to hire it. A capable CFO is out of reach for a growing shop or a mid-sized wholesaler — so they go without, and run on instinct for far too long.

We bring CFO-level thinking to businesses of every size, in a form they can afford and actually use.

Behind the firm is more than 25 years of senior finance leadership — as a Chief Financial Officer, as a head of group audit, and as a finance manager — across retail, wholesale and manufacturing. The same disciplines that keep large companies steady, applied with care to a business at any scale.

The name says what we believe. Fin for finance; stone for foundation, permanence, solidity. We're not here to look exclusive or expensive. We're here to be the steady, senior advisor you can call — the kind of presence that makes running your business feel a good deal less lonely.

However big or small you are today — there's a place for you on this scale.
