Balance Sheet Reconciliation Execution and Process Evaluation Service

The Port of Houston Authority is seeking a vendor to provide balance sheet reconciliation execution and process evaluation services following an Enterprise Resource Planning migration. The authority must validate and reconcile balance sheet accounts to confirm that opening balances migrated correctly, that subledger-to-general ledger relationships remain intact, and that first quarter 2026 activity is accurately captured in the new Workday system. Because balance sheet account balances persist across accounting periods, the authority requires timely post-go-live reconciliation to prevent unresolved errors from compounding over time. The scope of work requires the delivery of a fully reconciled balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, with all material accounts supported by workpapers and approved sign-offs, to be substantially completed by June 30, 2026. The selected vendor must identify, investigate, and propose resolutions for all reconciling items above an agreed materiality threshold, including data migration variances, posting errors, subledger mismatches, and unapplied transactions. Additionally, the project requires compiling a complete inventory of all balance sheet general ledger accounts as of the Workday go-live cutover date and as of March 31, 2026, stratifying these accounts by high, medium, and low risk tiers. The authority also requires a written process evaluation that identifies gaps, automation opportunities, and recommended policies for the third quarter of 2026 and onward, leveraging Workday's native reconciliation and close capabilities. To be eligible for this opportunity, the performing vendor must be located onshore within the United States. All work under this one-year contract will be performed offsite, and the authority is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget.
