One source of truth for recruitment finance.

Recruitment finance processes depend on data held across ATS, CRM, timesheet, payroll and accounting systems. 4th Sight brings that data together into a governed foundation so finance teams can automate controls, calculations, reporting and insight.

If a system has an API, database connection, export or accessible data layer, we can connect to it, shape the data and make it usable for finance operations.

Example connected systems

Connect ATS, CRM, timesheet, payroll and accounting systems into one governed finance foundation.

Why the foundation matters

Finance automation only works if the data underneath it is connected, consistent and trusted.

One governed finance layer

Bring operational and finance data together into a trusted foundation that can support reporting, controls and automation.

Joined-up view

Connect the process across ATS, CRM, timesheet, payroll and accounting systems.

Reusable and controlled

Create a consistent data layer rather than rebuilding the same extracts and joins every month.

Repeatable refresh

Run the same data preparation daily, weekly or monthly so finance teams work from current information.

Finance use cases

Use foundation data to automate the work that sits between systems.

Once the data is joined and governed, finance teams can run controls, build calculations, generate reporting outputs and create AI-assisted commentary at scale.

Timesheet to invoice reconciliation
Payroll cost to invoice margin checks
Commission calculations
Cash receipt allocation analysis
Missing or delayed timesheet controls
Client profitability reporting
Placement and assignment data quality
Finance commentary and variance analysis

From fragmented systems to usable finance data

The foundation layer turns disconnected system data into a practical operating asset for finance.

Connect

Access data from source systems, databases, exports, APIs and file drops.

Shape

Clean, join and standardise the data so it reflects the finance process.

Use

Feed workflows, dashboards, controls, calculations and AI outputs.

Start by connecting the systems finance already depends on.

We can help map the systems, data flows and finance questions that should sit behind your reporting, controls and automation.
