The Accordion Approach

Accordion designs systems to drive comprehensive and transparent global close processes. Working with clients from strategy to implementation, our experts configure and customize the CPM/EPM system to meet the business requirements. Here’s how:

CPM/EPM Strategy & Project Guidance

We engage early to best align finance and business processes with technology requirements.

Software Selection & Assessment

We take a “tech-agnostic” approach to assisting clients with software selection and road mapping.

Process Improvement

Our consultants bring more than tech expertise; we’re able to advise on best practices in finance, accounting, and operations.

Data & Systems Integration

By connecting the data behind the scenes, we make manual data collection/consolidation more automated and seamless.

Managed Services & Support

We have a dedicated onshore managed services team that helps augment client teams in both technical and functional areas.

Performance Tuning

If a new system is not required, our consultants are able to optimize existing technology to improve efficiency and scalability.

Featured Case Study

Following a sizeable merger of healthcare companies, we engaged Accordion to assist with the chart of accounts transformation and alignment of our Oracle EPM applications. Focused on growth and scalability, Accordion redesigned our close processes to streamline reporting, broaden end-user capabilities, and reduce strain on the system administrations team. This resulted in an increase in application performance, and Accordion remains our trusted partner.”
