Is Your SAP Financial Close Process Taking Over? Benchmark the Real Impact
webinar By 
-
Your SAP financial close takes longer than it should - but how much longer, and where exactly are you losing time?
- In this session, we'll use our interactive Financial Close Scorecard to quantify your current state across key close activities. You'll plug in your numbers (reconciliations, journal entries, team size, cycle time) and see exactly where your hours are going. Then we'll show you exactly what's possible when you optimize beyond standard SAP, with projected time and cost savings.
- What you'll walk away with:
- The Financial Close Scorecard tool - yours to keep, modify, and run multiple scenarios
- Your personalized close performance assessment across account reconciliations, journal entries, approvals, reporting, variance analysis, and consolidation
- Clear visibility into where your team's hours actually go (and where they shouldn't have to)
- Side-by-side comparison: SAP-only processes versus optimized approaches
- Projected time and cost savings specific to your close volume and complexity
- Before the session, gather these 5 numbers from your last close:
- Total account reconciliations completed
- Journal entries posted
- Number of people involved in close
- Days from period end to first draft financials
- Days from period end to final close
