I enjoy working with numbers, managing operations, and helping teams find clarity.
I'm Lech Synowka. I do my best work when I'm close to the process, collecting the right data, analysing it, and working with people across the business to turn it into decisions. I don't just sell dashboards or build and leave. I set up the controls, run them, and deliver insights directly as part of an ongoing partnership.
Here's what I've built and run: Custom control systems that handle thousands of transactions each month through automated processes, keeping errors below 0.5%. I track pipeline, revenue, operations, and risk indicators in real time. I personally monitor early warning systems and escalate issues when needed. Everything is built with strong governance, including clear attribution, deduplication to avoid double-counting, and error recovery protocols to catch automation failures.
How I work: I create integrated systems that bring together strategy, operations, and finance into one reliable source of truth. I manage these systems every day, extract insights, and spot risks before they become bigger problems. I work with everyone, from the person entering invoices to the person presenting to the board, because that's how the system truly reflects what's happening. I respect the chain of command, but I stay close to the work because that's where issues first appear.
Technical foundation: I architect integrated systems using modern automation platforms, relational databases, and API connections. Everything is built with audit trails, data integrity controls, deduplication logic, and error recovery protocols. The systems are designed to be trustworthy and functional, with clear documentation so your team can run and evolve them independently.
Who I work with: CFOs and Finance Directors who need board-ready reports without hiring a team of analysts. COOs and Operations Leaders who know what to measure but lack the tools to track it. Founders and CEOs who want CFO-level visibility without the cost of a full-time hire. I work on your team, building and running the system with you.
I'm not a consultant who just visits every few months. I'm involved in the work, analysing variances, fixing data issues when they occur, and providing insights to help prevent surprises.
I work with teams from shop floor to board level. I respect hierarchy, but the best outcomes happen when everyone is working together with the same definitions and the same view of reality.
How I work
Collect the data
We identify what needs tracking across finance and operations, then set up collection that teams can actually maintain.
Where data is missing or inconsistent, I’ll help close the gap so decisions don’t rely on assumptions.
Analyse relentlessly
I look for what’s changing, what’s driving it, and what’s risky — across cash, throughput, quality, and execution.
Then we define KPIs and drivers with clear ownership and plain-English definitions.
Automate & deliver options
I automate the repetitive parts so the right information appears without manual chasing.
You get options: what to do next, trade-offs, and what we need to decide.
What we build together
Not a “tool”. Not a one-off project. Practical controls that connect the numbers to what people do day-to-day.
- Cash visibility that teams trust (with controls they follow)
- Operational drivers and constraints that show up early
- Clear owners, due dates, and escalation rules
- Plain-English commentary that explains what moved and why
I operate the controls I build and deliver intelligence directly. That means you get the benefits of a dedicated ops-and-finance mind in the business — without me vanishing after a “handover”.
If we work well together, we keep going. If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you plainly.
