ZEHN PARTNERS · Finance & Business Advisory
We undertake defined accounting, reporting and financial analysis assignments for businesses, finance leaders and professional accounting and advisory firms. From recurring close work to a focused forecast or process improvement, we agree the scope and prepare the work for the people who will use it.
Who we work with
Bring us recurring bookkeeping or month-end work, a management reporting requirement, or a cash forecast for upcoming commitments. We also undertake budgeting, financial analysis and agreed improvements to finance processes and controls.
You receive the prepared work with the assumptions and unresolved matters that need your attention. Management approves the financial information and decides how to act.

Responsibility in view
See how a possible assignment would be organised, documented, reviewed and handed over. This illustration shows the prepared work, the matters left open and the decisions retained by the client; it is not a completed ZEHN engagement.
Illustrative engagement
A business needs one month’s financial information assembled for its finance lead’s review.
ZEHN workZEHN reconciles agreed balances, prepares supporting schedules and assembles the reporting pack from supplied records.
Output & responsibilityThe finance lead receives the pack and material open items. Management approves adjustments and final reports before using the information.
The assignment covers one reporting period and only the balances and reports agreed in scope. Management supplies the records and approves adjustments and final reports. Statutory filings and audit procedures are excluded. This is preparation work; it provides no audit assurance.
The ledger, bank statements, supporting records and management’s explanations form the inputs. ZEHN prepares reconciliations, links reported figures to schedules and records significant assumptions. Gaps in the records and unresolved differences are identified where they affect the agreed work.
In this illustration, one founder checks work prepared by the other; the finance lead reviews the pack separately. Internal checking is appropriate to the agreed scope. The supplier balance remains open until the client’s finance team provides the missing invoices and ZEHN updates the reconciliation and affected schedules.
The finance lead receives the reporting pack, supporting schedules and open-item record. The handover identifies the unresolved supplier balance, its possible effect on costs and payables, and who takes the next action. Management decides how the information is used.
The practice
ZEHN PARTNERS is led by co-founders Imad Ul Amin, ACA, and Muhammad Moazam Bhatti, CBA. Our work is organised around each assignment’s requirements, with the intended outputs, responsibilities and review arrangements agreed before work begins.
Delivery is coordinated from Pakistan. Depending on the nature, complexity and timing of the assignment, the founders undertake the agreed work directly and, where appropriate, arrange additional resources or specialist input with clearly defined responsibilities.

You do not need a finished scope to start a conversation. Tell us what needs attention, who will use the work and any timing constraints.
We will discuss whether we can take it on and agree the deliverables, responsibilities and timing before work begins.
We review your enquiry and follow up to clarify the requirement.
