We support you with the vertical integration of existing systems. On the basis of a common IT platform, we work together with you to design a group-wide template that meets all the requirements for transparency, consolidation, and controllability. In this way, we help you to take the optimal path between central governance and the fulfillment of local (legal and business) requirements.
We support you with the definition and set-up of templates, the drawing-up of rollout strategies, and the actual implementation of the rollout and operational strategy. This means finding just the right people to make up the various teams, as well as the coordination and controlling of the teams’ activities. And we do not neglect a task that is frequently pushed into the background: Because we know that high data quality for the migration and thorough adjustment and harmonization of master data are essential for the success of the project.

optimization of closure in the accounting system

The requirements for drawing up closures of financial statements have continued to increase in the last few years. This applies to both the time period for drawing up closure statements and the contents of reporting systems (fast close, segmental reporting, parallel accounting procedures, simultaneous presentation according to cost of sales format and type of expenditure format). ESPRiT supports you with the analysis and optimization of closure processes, as well as the successful execution of measures for improvement. For this we can provide references from some high-profile clients, both for group accounting and for the optimization of closures for the subsidiaries of some large, well-known corporations.

redesign of CO processes

When we talk about an integrated approach, we mean the flexible design of accounts for overheads, cost objects, and profit centers, as well as adaptation of the income statement to ever-changing market and corporate structures. We support you with both the development of planning and budgeting concepts and the implementation of these concepts with the help of standard software. In this respect, we pay particular attention to consistent reporting, which should depict the central

controlling values clearly and compactly. For the development of the controlling systems, we put particular emphasis on having a healthy balance between the benefit of controlling information and the workload involved in obtaining this information.
