Finance Systems & ERP Advisory
Understand finance in depth. Design systems that work.
Modern finance organisations are only as capable as the systems and logic they are built on.
We combine deep finance expertise with hands-on systems experience, building finance structures in DATEV, proALPHA and SAP on a sound technical footing, optimising them and integrating them into the existing systems landscape.
What Finance Systems & ERP Advisory stands for
Substance before configuration
First the functional requirements, then the system settings – not the other way round.
Mapping finance logic into the system
Anchoring accounting, cost accounting, costing and reporting properly in the ERP.
Integration, not standalone solutions
Interfaces to ERP, DMS and upstream systems that work together.
Reflecting economic reality
System structures that not only work technically but carry the steering logic.
Our systems

- Setting up and optimising financial accounting
- Rebuilding and migrating existing structures
- DATEV cost accounting
- Cost centre and cost object logic

A particular focus lies on DATEV cost accounting and its connection to costing, reporting and corporate steering.

- Setting up and optimising the finance functionality
- Financial accounting and chart of accounts structures
- Cost accounting and controlling
- Costing and valuation logic
- Integration of adjacent business processes
- Analysing and optimising existing system configurations
- Support with migrations and structural change
Our focus is on a robust, well-founded representation of the actual business and steering logic – not merely the technical setup.
Typical topics:
- Building and optimising finance structures
- Accounting and controlling logic
- Cost accounting and costing
- Interfaces between finance and upstream processes
- Data and master data structures
- Process and system optimisation across finance, procurement, logistics and material flow
- Support for transformation and migration projects
Our focus is on connecting sound finance logic, end-to-end business processes and their representation in the system.
Substance before configuration
We do not start with system settings but with the question: what needs to be achieved functionally – and how must the system be built to support it? To do so we connect accounting & financial reporting with cost accounting & costing, end-to-end business processes and ERP and system logic. This creates system structures that not only work technically but correctly reflect the company’s economic reality.
Typical starting situations
The finance module of an ERP system is not being used to its full extent
Account, cost centre or costing structures have grown up over time
Finance processes run in Excel or in manual workarounds
Cost accounting and financial accounting do not work together consistently
A migration or ERP change is on the horizon
Interfaces between ERP, DATEV and upstream systems do not work cleanly
