Finance Expertise
When it comes to work with clients to improve their consolidation and reporting processes, just as important as the software itself, is the team behind the project. Understanding client needs, communicating options, good design and close collaboration through every stage are essential to success. We welcome the opportunity to work with you and translate your needs into a system that meets or exceeds expectations.
Implementing Talentia CPM
A single financially intelligent platform that adds value to multiple financial processes that share structures and dimensions. You choose your starting point according to your priorities, for example begin with financial statement reporting. Then, create the foundations only once that can then be re used for additional processes, eg consolidation or planning.
Leverage the most widely used tool for finance teams, Excel. This ensures your team can use their existing skills to help implement and manage the system going forward. No coding or proprietary skills are required avoiding costly and lengthy projects or dependency on 3rd party consultants.
Out of the box consolidation package for US GAAP to ensure a rapid implementation. Compare our implementation effort and timeline to other solutions, its fast! (go live in weeks not months or even years thanks to our finance expertise).
Our growth and success are based on our ability to deliver successful projects for clients. We have the finance expertise because we are finance professionals that understand complex consolidations and know how to help you make financial complexity easier.
Meet the team
Our starting point is understanding the needs of your finance team and being able to walk in your shoes in terms of what is needed every week, month, quarter and how to respond to ad hoc requests from the CFO. From there we work with you to deliver improvements by applying Talentia CPM including; accuracy, controls, speed, and improved analytics/reporting. Our ability to translate your needs into a powerful and simple to use system is a winning combination.
