🧩 Core Offer 

Start with a Reporting Trust Proof of Value (POV)

We begin with a focused engagement targeting a specific area of your close process—such as reconciliations or key reports—to deliver fast, measurable results.

In this phase, we:

• Validate key reports and underlying data flows
• Reconcile critical financial data across systems
• Identify reporting gaps, inconsistencies, and risks
• Establish a repeatable validation and reconciliation approach
• Deliver immediate, measurable improvements

This is a targeted starting point—not a full transformation.

From there, we expand based on results and priorities, applying the same structured approach to additional areas of your reporting environment.

🎯 Who This Is For

This approach is ideal for:

• Finance teams struggling to trust their reporting
• Controllers dealing with reconciliation challenges
• Organizations using Infor or similar ERP systems
• Teams relying heavily on manual validation and workarounds
  

 🚀 What Happens in the First 2 Weeks 

We start with a focused, structured approach designed to quickly identify and address a high-impact reporting area.

Week 1: Assess & Align

• Identify key reports and data sources
• Define what needs to tie out (GL, subledgers, etc.)
• Align on priorities and success criteria

Week 2: Validate & Identify Gaps

• Begin validating reports against source systems
• Identify discrepancies and reconciliation gaps
• Document issues and define next steps

By the end of this phase, you’ll have clear visibility into where reporting breaks down—and a structured plan to address it.

🔄 How Engagements Typically Progress 

Our engagements are intentionally structured to reduce risk and deliver results quickly:

Step 1: Proof of Value (Start Small)
We focus on one high-impact area to validate data and deliver measurable improvements.

Step 2: Expand Based on Results
We apply the same structured approach to additional reporting areas.

Step 3: Ongoing Program Leadership
We provide continued guidance, tracking, and support to ensure long-term success.

This approach ensures you see results early—before committing to broader changes.

🔒 Why ECS

ECS combines deep Infor experience with a structured methodology designed for real-world finance teams.

We focus on fixing reporting at the source—while enabling your team to own and sustain it.

Unlike traditional consulting approaches, ECS delivers both immediate results and long-term capability.

• Your team learns by doing—not after the fact
• Reporting becomes owned internally—not dependent on consultants
• Progress is structured, visible, and measurable
• Improvements are sustained—not temporary

You gain both confidence in your numbers and the internal capability to maintain it.

📈  What Clients Typically Improve

• Their ability to tie reports to source systems (GL and subledgers)

• The structure and consistency of their close process
• The level of trust leadership has in reporting

These improvements are achieved through a focused, structured approach—not large-scale system changes.
