Solutions for Finance Management
End-to-end finance operations with real-time visibility and control
The shift
Finance is changing fast. It’s moving from a traditional, transactional role, mainly focused on reporting and compliance, into a strategic function that drives business performance. Automation, real-time data, and AI are taking over routine tasks like reconciliations, AP/AR processing, and monthly closes, giving teams more time to focus on forecasting, scenario planning, and creating value. With instant access to performance metrics and AI-powered insights, finance can now support faster, smarter decision-making across the business.
At the same time, finance is becoming a central hub for cross-functional insights, connecting financial and operational data to guide strategy, managing risk, and supporting investments. CFOs and their teams are expected to be proactive business partners, helping drive transformation, improve efficiency, and enable growth. New technologies make this possible, but so do new skills: data fluency, analytical thinking, and the ability to turn numbers into stories that matter.
Challenges
- 01Fragmented Financial Data
Finance teams often struggle with data scattered across different systems, regions, and business units. This fragmentation makes it difficult to get a real-time, consolidated view of financial performance. Manual data collection, reconciliation, and normalization slow down decision-making.
- 02Slow and Inefficient Close Processes
The financial close process remains one of the most time-consuming functions. Teams rely heavily on spreadsheets and manual journal entries, which increases the risk of mistakes and delays. Month-end and year-end closures can stretch over weeks, putting pressure on teams and affecting downstream reporting and compliance.
- 03Inaccurate or Rigid Forecasting
Traditional forecasting models, based on historical data and static assumptions, struggle to reflect rapidly changing market realities. Finance leaders find it difficult to model different scenarios, respond to volatility, or adapt plans in real time. This makes strategic planning more reactive than proactive.
- 04Lack of Real-Time Cash and Liquidity Visibility
Many finance teams lack a clear, real-time view of cash positions and liquidity across global operations. This impairs the company’s ability to make agile investment or spending decisions, and it increases exposure to currency fluctuations, interest rate changes, and other financial risks.
- 05Complex and Evolving Regulatory Requirements
Finance departments must constantly adapt to new and changing global regulations, tax laws, and accounting standards. Managing compliance across jurisdictions requires deep expertise, clear audit trails, and constant updates, all of which become harder when processes are manual and systems are outdated.
- 06Disconnected Order-to-Cash Cycle
The order-to-cash process often involves multiple disconnected departments and systems – sales, billing, collections, and accounting. This leads to revenue leakage, delayed cash flow, and poor customer experience due to invoicing errors or disputes.
- 07Limited Strategic Influence of Finance
Finance is increasingly expected to act as a strategic advisor to the business. However, in many organizations, finance teams are bogged down by operational tasks and lack the tools, insights, or positioning to drive cross-functional decision-making and long-term planning.
- 08Growing Pressure on Operational Efficiency
Cost optimization remains a top priority, yet many finance departments are understaffed or rely on legacy systems that increase the workload. There’s a pressing need to do more with less: to automate routine tasks, reduce errors, and reallocate time toward value-added activities like analysis and risk management.
CLARITY Solutions for Finance Operations
We help finance teams transform operations into a connected, insight-driven function. Using SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud ERP, our solutions integrate core finance processes, reporting, and analytics across the organization. Routine tasks such as reconciliations, AP/AR processing, and close cycles are automated, giving teams more time for forecasting, scenario planning, and strategic decisions. Real-time visibility supports faster, more accurate decision-making across the business.
Our practitioner-led approach ensures technology addresses real-world finance needs. Consultants with accounting and controllership experience guide workshops that connect business challenges to measurable outcomes. Every implementation includes embedded controls, tailored reporting, and multi-country compliance. Solutions are tested for real-life scenarios, including currency fluctuations, deferred revenue, and subscription proration, which reduces surprises at go-live.
AI and automation enhance efficiency, accelerate close cycles, and improve forecast reliability. Hypercare support ensures teams are fully enabled from day one, keeping processes stable, transparent, and adaptable. Combining SAP capabilities with CLARITY’s expertise strengthens compliance while enabling organizations to scale operations and maintain a long-term growth focus.

Responsible embedding of AI in finance processes to improve forecast accuracy, accelerate close cycles, and automate repetitive tasks, while maintaining transparency, traceability, and control.
Practitioner-Led Design — Not Just IT Delivery
- Business-First Workshops
Our finance consultants come from real-world accounting and controllership backgrounds. They focus on outcomes (e.g., period close time, auditability, cash visibility) rather than just features — ensuring better process fit and faster stakeholder alignment.
- Workshops Led by Finance Practitioners
We start with business pain points and map them to desired outcomes. Standard SAP is used where it works; deviations are only made when clear ROI is demonstrated.
- Controls and Audit Built-In
Designs include embedded segregation of duties, clear posting logic, and built-in reconciliation flows — created by experts who understand close cycles and audit pressures.
- Reporting That Matters
We design reports aligned to actual business needs — managerial P&L, legal and statutory views, cost center breakdowns — ensuring relevance for both daily operations and audits.
- Localization with Substance
Our team implements statutory requirements (VAT, SAF-T, e-invoicing) with both technical and accounting knowledge, ensuring compliance that’s deeply rooted in local finance practice.
- Smoother Go-Live & Hypercare
We test for real-life edge cases — FX gains/losses, deferred revenue, impairments, subscription proration — before go-live, minimizing surprises and support tickets.
Outcomes for the business
- Faster time-to-value with fewer changes
Thanks to practitioner-led workshops and a standard, ready-to-use scope, projects move faster – with 20–40% fewer change requests and quicker sign-offs.
- A repeatable release cycle driven by business value
New features are delivered in planned waves, prioritized by impact. Regression testing is controlled, and every feature turned on has a clear business case.
- Compliant rollouts with fewer surprises
VAT, e-invoicing, SAF-T, and Baltic-specific needs are covered out of the box, minimizing last-minute fixes after go-live.
- Future-proof setup with clean extensibility
The solution stays stable across upgrades. Less than 10% of scope typically requires custom work, and extensions are kept separate using key-user tools or BTP, reducing technical debt.
- Faster close, tighter controls, and better cash flow
Close cycles are shorter, DSO improves, and write-offs go down. Built-in controls and reconciliation paths reduce audit risks and strengthen compliance.
- Clean data from day one
You get a reliable data model and fewer manual reconciliations. Master and transactional data is consistent, and finance teams can use analytics directly because no messy exports are required.
- Smooth go-live and stable day-one operations
Thorough testing before launch means fewer surprises and a more predictable transition to live operations.
- Reporting that fits your business structure
Profit & loss and balance sheet views by segment or profit center. Statutory and managerial views are harmonized. CFO-level metrics (like margin and working capital) are automated and trusted.
- Enablement that focuses on result
Finance users understand how the system supports their actual work. Adoption is higher, process ownership is clear, and shadow Excel workarounds are reduced.
