WHY CCH TAGETIK
In 2015 we bet the practice on one platform.
We'd spent thirteen years implementing whatever the client had bought. We were adequate at a lot of things. So we stopped, picked one platform, and spent the next 10+ years getting genuinely good at it. This page explains why we chose CCH Tagetik - and when we'd tell you not to buy it.
What we saw in CCH Tagetik
Built for Group Finance
CCH Tagetik was built around the problems Group Finance actually has to solve. Consolidation, planning, reporting and regulatory processes can work together rather than becoming separate projects with separate versions of the numbers.
Solutions→Complexity without losing control
Multiple entities, currencies, ownership structures and reporting requirements are where the platform earns its keep. As the group changes, the finance architecture can change with it, without rebuilding everything around the latest acquisition.
Why finance changes→One finance platform that can keep growing
You don't have to solve everything on day one. Start with the problem that matters now, then extend into consolidation, planning, reporting, tax, ESG and other finance processes without creating another disconnected system every time the requirement changes.

Estimates that hold
25+ consultants who have configured this platform many times over know what a piece of work costs. Firms that implement five products are guessing, and the guess lands in your contingency.
How we work→One data model, not four
Consolidation, planning, tax and ESG share the same numbers. No reconciliation between the tools that were supposed to end reconciliation.
Financial close→Owned by finance
Configured, not coded. Your team changes a driver or adds an entity without raising a ticket with IT and waiting a fortnight.
Planning & forecasting→THE HONEST VERSION
When we'd tell you not to buy it.
If your group is simple, your close is clean and your forecast is trusted, you don't need a CPM platform and we'll say so. CCH Tagetik earns its licence on complexity - many entities, many currencies, real consolidation, a regulatory burden. Below that threshold it's an expensive way to keep doing what a spreadsheet already does. We'd rather lose the deal than sell you that.

FROM STRATEGY TO NUMBERS
From strategic decisions to trusted numbers
How finance turns business decisions into accurate reporting, planning and insight. Pick a board strategy and follow it down to the finance platform and back.
01 / THE BOARD DECIDES
02 / THE BUSINESS CHANGES
03 / THE PLATFORM ASSEMBLES IT
Folds every new entity into one consolidation and one chart of accounts - in days, not a quarter of manual mapping.
04 / AN ANSWER GOES BACK
…and the board sets the next target. The loop only works if the finance system can see the whole organisation - which is the point of one platform.
How we work
01
Diagnose
We map where your finance function actually loses time. Process first, system second - in that order, always.
02
Design
Target operating model and delivery plan, designed together - split them and the programme drifts.
03
Prove
A focused walkthrough on your real data, so you're buying evidence rather than a promise.
04

Senior consultants who have done this before, on the one platform we know best.
