How we work

A clear process. No surprises.

01

Map your close process

We document your current close and consolidation process: entities, currencies, intercompany flows, and where the manual effort is.

02

Design the consolidation architecture

Consolidation rules, dimension design, and elimination logic designed before any configuration begins.

03

Deliver and reduce close time

Implemented, reconciled, and handed over, with measurable reduction in manual close effort.

Our approach

The quality of your EPM architecture becomes visible every month at close. A well-designed consolidation system closes faster, requires fewer manual adjustments, and produces management accounts that finance and the board trust without qualification.

The architecture decisions that determine close quality (entity structure, intercompany elimination design, currency translation approach, account reconciliation) are made once and are expensive to change. We design these up front, with consolidation scenarios tested against your actual entity structure before any platform configuration begins.

We have delivered close and consolidation architecture on OneStream and Oracle EPM Cloud, and we connect close processes to Workday Adaptive Planning actuals where organisations run both planning and consolidation in the Workday ecosystem. The cross-platform experience means we can design consolidation architecture that serves the whole finance function, not just the consolidation tool.

Where AI fits in close and consolidation specifically: flagging unusual journal entries and intercompany mismatches before they reach review, using whichever native anomaly detection your platform already provides (OneStream's Sensible AI, Oracle's embedded ML, or Workday Illuminate), and building custom checks only for the specific patterns native capability misses.
