Problem

Alfa Group operates across several countries, with individual entities using different accounting systems. The group needed to unify financial data and create a consistent view of reporting without having to introduce a single accounting system across the entire group.

Previous attempts to unify the accounting systems had been costly and unsuccessful. At the same time, the need for fast access to information for management, banks, advisors, audits and other stakeholders was growing. The goal was therefore to connect data from different sources and create a unified foundation for reporting, analysis, consolidation and financial management.

Solution

EMARK helped Alfa Group unify financial data from different accounting systems and create one consistent financial view across 40 entities in three countries. Management gained access to current and historical information and can quickly move from aggregated results to individual customer and supplier transactions.

The unified financial view also significantly reduced the time needed to answer critical questions and improved financial management across the group. Alfa Group can monitor intercompany relationships, KPIs and budget versus actuals and use this information for decision-making, audits, due diligence and communication with banks and other stakeholders.

Before

Accounting data spread across systems and countries
Costly and unsuccessful attempts to unify financial data
Reports took hours or days to prepare
No single view of group financial performance
Intercompany relationships were difficult to monitor

After

Financial data unified across 40 entities in 3 countries
Reporting covers Slovakia, Czechia and Hungary
Reports and financial information available in one click
Current and historical financial data in one place
Real-time monitoring of intercompany relationships

What we delivered

KPI reporting and budget versus actual analysis
Current and historical financial data in one place
One financial view across different accounting systems
Drill-down from aggregated results to individual transactions
Unifying financial data from 40 entities across three countries
Significantly reduced response time for critical financial questions
Real-time monitoring of intercompany and intragroup relationships

In the past, the response to requests for financial reports took hours, if not days. Now it is only a simple click away. The main advantage is the speed at which we can deliver the information. Response time to critical questions has dramatically reduced.
