Built by a finance operator

Zahidah C. Murira, CMA & CGBA

Chez Solutions is led by Zahidah C. Murira, a senior finance leader and finance automation builder with 20 years of experience across accounting operations, month-end close, audit, tax, treasury, ERP migration, inventory costing, and multi-entity reporting.

Real operating experience

The work is grounded in real finance environments: agriculture, aquaculture, processing, distribution, export, multi-company operations, remote teams, and cross-border reporting.

Automation with judgment

We diagnose the finance process first, then automate only where it improves control, speed, evidence, and decision quality.

Experience behind the consultancy

Chez Solutions is new. The experience behind it is not.

The consultancy is built on years of hands-on finance leadership across multi-entity operating businesses, including close design, reconciliations, ERP implementation, audit coordination, multi-currency reporting, and control improvement.

Finance Systems Lab

Working tools that back up the consulting.

Recent builds show the practical side of Chez Solutions: close control, Odoo data quality, VAT reconciliation, and finance systems requirements. Earlier data, diagnostic, and AI workflow projects remain in the full lab as supporting proof.

Finance Close Control Tower

Close dashboard for TB checks, bank rec issues, VAT control balances, suspense accounts, intercompany exceptions, and CFO-ready evidence packs.

Odoo Finance Data Quality Auditor

ERP exception checker for weak references, partner gaps, suspense items, reconciliation issues, and accounting data-quality risks.

VAT Reconciliation Engine

VAT review tool comparing source registers, return summaries, and GL VAT control balances, with exception outputs and workbook evidence.

Requirements Pack Generator

Finance systems requirements packs for AP, bank reconciliation, VAT, controls, reporting, UAT, and implementation handover.

Additional proof includes finance ETL, FinSight Lite, MCP tooling, Odoo 19 workflow experiments, use cases, and a sample finance diagnostic.

UK, international and East Africa finance support

UK and international SMEs

Support for growing teams using Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Odoo, Excel and bank exports to manage month-end close, reconciliations, VAT review, reporting packs, and audit evidence.

East Africa operators

Practical support for VAT/EFD evidence, TRA readiness, Odoo finance operations, bank and mobile-money reconciliation, inventory costing, import/export documentation, and multi-entity reporting.

Remote finance workflows

Remote support is available for finance teams that need clear review routines, practical communication, and repeatable workflows across locations, systems, and time zones.

Engagements start with a diagnostic

Finance health check

A focused review of reporting, reconciliations, controls, data quality, and the biggest sources of month-end stress.

Roadmap before build

You get a practical view of what to fix first, what to automate, and what needs stronger review before implementation starts.

Support or implementation

After the diagnostic, engagements can move into close cleanup, dashboard setup, reconciliation/control improvement, or monthly support.

What we help fix

Slow month-end close

Move from month-end panic to a repeatable close rhythm, clearer exceptions, and board-ready commentary that is easier to review.

Messy finance data

Turn messy ERP exports, spreadsheets, and manual files into trusted reporting packs, dashboards, and evidence your team can defend.

Weak controls

Catch reconciliation, VAT/EFD, intercompany, and evidence gaps earlier — before audit pressure or management review exposes them.

A practical path from finance pain to better control

Focused diagnostic

We identify the reporting, reconciliation, data, and control issues slowing the finance function down.

Clear improvement roadmap

You receive a prioritised plan showing what to fix first, what to automate, and what needs stronger review.

Implementation support

We help turn the roadmap into cleaner workflows, better reports, stronger evidence, and repeatable monthly routines.

Start with the pain, then automate what is worth automating.

Chez Solutions helps you identify the finance bottlenecks that matter, then turns them into cleaner workflows, stronger controls, better reports, and practical automation.
