financiamento cuidadoso...atencao a todos os detalhes
Explanation:
Penny balancing significa que tem que 'equilibrar os centavos', alias cuidar direito do dinheiro. As my grandmother used to say 'Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themsleves'!! Acho que nesse contexto penny balancing eh que a empresa tem uma boa fama de pensar em todos os detalhes.

Exatidão total de saldos


Explanation:
No site abaixo você acha um exemplo detalhado do penny balancing. Significa exatidão total de saldos, ou "conferir o saldo (do seu talão de cheques, por exemplo) até o último centavo", para ser mais informal. No contexto acima, eu iria de "exatidão total de saldos", porque não usamos informalidade como o inglês.

Contar todos os centavos.


Explanation:
Eu acredito que o termo contar os centavos seria o mais correto, mas você ainda pode dizer: fazer a conta na ponta do lápis.
