Service 03 — Regulatory Reporting
Regulatory submissions prepared on schedule, without the pressure
The financial elements of regulatory reporting require precise preparation and consistent timing. We handle the accounting side of that work — clearly, on schedule, and with a calendar that keeps your obligations visible well in advance rather than arriving as surprises.
What this delivers
Reporting that's ready when it needs to be
Regulatory submissions don't move when you're not ready. What this service gives you is the financial preparation work done properly and on time — so the submission process is a review exercise, not a reconstruction exercise carried out under deadline pressure.
Calendar managed for you
Every reporting obligation tracked on a clear calendar with lead time built in — no deadline arrives without preparation underway.
Plain financial presentation
Financial data presented in the format and language your regulator expects — clear enough for both your team and the submission recipient.
Supporting documentation
Each submission accompanied by working papers and documentation that explain the figures — available if questions come back from the regulator.
Why this is genuinely difficult
Reporting obligations that don't fit standard accounting cycles
Regulatory reporting in the energy sector runs on its own calendar — one that doesn't always align with your financial year, your internal reporting cycle, or the capacity your team has at any given point. The financial elements require accurate data pulled together in the right format, presented in a way that's consistent with prior submissions, and ready before a fixed external deadline.
For many providers, the challenge isn't understanding what's required — it's the preparation work landing on already stretched finance teams, often at the same time as other period-end demands. The result is submissions that are technically correct but prepared under more pressure than they should be, with less time for review than is comfortable.
Having the financial preparation handled externally — by someone who knows what the submission requires and keeps the calendar visible — tends to make the whole process considerably calmer.
Where regulatory reporting preparation strains
- Submission deadlines falling at the same time as internal period-end demands
- Financial data requiring re-formatting or reclassification to meet the regulator's specific template
- Inconsistency with prior submissions discovered too close to the deadline to address properly
- Supporting documentation not prepared in time to accompany figures if questions arise
How we work
Preparation that starts well before the deadline
We manage the financial preparation side of your regulatory reporting from a standing start at the beginning of each cycle — not as a reactive exercise when the deadline approaches. That means the calendar is set up, the data requirements are understood, and the preparation work is underway with enough time to do it properly.
Reporting calendar setup
At the start of the engagement, we map all relevant reporting obligations onto a calendar with internal milestones — so every deadline has preparation work scheduled against it, not just the submission date marked.
Financial data preparation
We gather the required financial data from your records, apply the classifications and calculations the submission requires, and check the figures against prior periods for consistency before anything goes forward.
Presentation and formatting
The financial elements formatted according to the regulator's requirements — clearly labelled, consistently structured, and readable by both your internal team and the submission recipient without translation.
Supporting documentation package
Working papers and explanatory notes prepared alongside each submission — so if the regulator asks a question about a figure, the answer is already documented and ready to share.
Working together
What the engagement feels like from your side
The most noticeable change for most clients is that the reporting period stops being something that generates pressure. When preparation is underway well ahead of the deadline — and you can see where things stand on a shared calendar — the final stage of a submission becomes a review exercise rather than a rush.
We handle the financial preparation work and flag anything that needs your input with enough lead time for it to be addressed properly. You're not pulled into the detail unless there's something that genuinely needs your review or decision.
After the submission, the documentation is filed and available if questions come back. And the next cycle is already on the calendar.
All reporting obligations and preparation milestones on a shared calendar — you can see what's coming and where preparation stands at any point.
Anything that requires your input or decision flagged with lead time — not raised on the day the submission is due.
Working papers filed and accessible after each submission — so if a regulator query arrives months later, the supporting material is ready.
The same methodology applied each reporting cycle, so figures are comparable with prior submissions and any changes are documented and explained.
Investment
Per reporting cycle, clearly priced
Regulatory reporting support is priced per reporting cycle rather than monthly, since the volume of work is tied to submission cadence rather than calendar time. The investment is the same each cycle — predictable and easy to plan around.

What's included each cycle
- Reporting calendar management
- Financial data preparation
- Prior-period consistency review
- Regulator-format presentation
- Working papers and supporting notes
- Post-submission document filing
- Regulator query support
- Next-cycle calendar preparation
If your reporting obligations span multiple submissions per year, each cycle is priced at the same rate. We'll confirm the number of cycles and any variation in scope before the engagement begins, so the annual investment figure is clear from the outset.
The framework
How reporting quality is measured
A good regulatory submission isn't just submitted on time — it's prepared to a standard that makes the figures defensible and the process repeatable. These are the markers we work to.
On-time preparation
Financial preparation completed before the submission date, with review time available — not delivered at the deadline with no room for questions.
Consistency with prior periods
Figures prepared using the same methodology as previous submissions. Any changes from prior periods identified, documented, and explained within the submission.
Documentation quality
Working papers that explain each material figure — source data, calculation, and any judgement calls — sufficient to answer a regulator query without additional reconstruction.
Presentation clarity
Financial data formatted and labelled in a way that's readable without a cover note — your team can review it and your regulator can follow it without asking for an explanation.

Our commitment
A conversation before any commitment
Regulatory reporting support is most useful when it's set up before the next submission cycle begins — but the right time to start is when you're comfortable with the arrangement. We'll walk through your reporting obligations and what the engagement would involve before anything is agreed.
Scope conversation first
We discuss your reporting obligations and submission cadence before any engagement begins — so you understand exactly what's included.
Fixed per-cycle pricing
1,100 USD per reporting cycle, clearly scoped. No unexpected additions mid-cycle; any changes discussed openly in advance.
Sector experience
We work exclusively in energy and utilities. The regulatory reporting context we bring comes from working in this sector, not from general practice.
How to begin
A simple path from here
The earlier in a reporting cycle we can begin, the more useful the engagement is — but getting started doesn't require a lot of preparation on your side.
Send a message
Use the contact form to describe your reporting obligations briefly — what you submit, how often, and roughly when your next cycle begins. A few sentences is enough.
We respond within one business day
We'll come back with questions to understand the scope of your reporting obligations and suggest a call if it would be useful to go through the detail.
We prepare a scope and proposal
Once we understand your reporting calendar and what each submission involves, we'll send a clear proposal covering what we'd handle each cycle and the per-cycle cost.
You decide when you're ready
There's no pressure on our side. Review the proposal, ask any questions, and let us know when you'd like to begin — ideally with a cycle ahead so the calendar can be set up properly.
