Oracle

Finance teams manage complexity every day and we've been helping organizations get the most out of Oracle EPM since the 1990s — from consolidating group results under pressure to planning across business units with incomplete data. Oracle EPM Cloud brings all those processes together in one place, completing the picture with components for narrative reporting, account reconciliation, profitability and cost management, and tax reporting. And we know how to make it work for your finance team.

What does Oracle EPM Cloud do?

Oracle EPM Cloud supports every major financial and strategic process in an organization - planning, budgeting, consolidation, tax, reporting, and profitability and cost management. Rather than stitching together separate tools, it gives your finance team one platform with a consistent experience across all processes.

For finance professionals at every level - from business controller to CFO, from Tax Accountant to operations lead - that means less time managing systems and more time driving the business forward.

The platform at a glance?

Oracle EPM Cloud is modular. You can start with the processes that matter most right now and expand as your needs grow. These are the core modules:

  • Planning & Budgeting (PBC) - Connected planning across all business units.
  • Financial Consolidation & Close (FCC) - Streamlined, auditable close - for speed and compliance.
  • Tax Reporting (TRC) - Manage and report tax positions across entities with confidence.
  • Narrative Reporting (EPRC) - Financial data and commentary combined into polished reports.
  • Profitability & Cost Management (PCM) - Understand where you make and lose money.
  • Account Reconciliation (ARC) - Automate and govern the reconciliation process end to end.
  • Enterprise Data Management (EDM) - One place to manage and govern your financial master data.

Everything your organization needs to plan and perform, in one place. Across all modules, Oracle EPM Cloud comes with pre-built best-practice content - from consolidation and tax reporting to workforce, capital, projects, strategic modeling, sales and cash forecasting - allowing a quick start without starting from scratch. AI agents that detect issues and surface opportunities, combined with AI-driven forecasting and predictive insights, make it a future-proof platform - and one independently recognized by both Gartner and IDC as a leading solution for enterprise performance management.

Also worth noting: NetSuite Planning & Budgeting (NSPB) is a separate EPM planning solution for organizations running Oracle NetSuite ERP. It's not part of Oracle EPM Cloud, but if NetSuite is your ERP, NSPB is the logical choice - and one Finext is equally at home implementing.

Why Oracle EPM Cloud?

One platform, not a patchwork

All modules share the same data foundation, security model, and update cycle. You don't manage integrations between separate tools, and your team works in a consistent environment regardless of the process. That reduces both IT burden and the risk of errors creeping in between systems.

Implement at your own pace

Oracle EPM Cloud doesn't require you to do everything at once. Its modular design means you can go live with planning first, then tackle consolidation, then reporting — in the order that matches your priorities and capacity. We work with you to build a roadmap that's realistic, not just ambitious.

Always current, always integrated

Because it's cloud-based, Oracle manages the updates. Your team works on the latest version without IT projects to handle patches or version compatibility. And integration with your ERP — including Oracle Fusion, SAP, and others — is built to stay current as both sides evolve. The result is a platform your finance team can rely on today — and grow with as your organization evolves.

Finext and Oracle: a partnership built over decades

Our relationship with Oracle goes back to the 1990s. That's not something we say to impress - it means we've seen every major shift in EPM technology and have been part of shaping where it went next.

One example: we worked directly with Oracle as part of their partner think tank to develop Financial Consolidation & Close into the solution it is today. By bringing our clients' real-world requirements into those conversations, we helped turn FCC into a genuine, high-quality replacement for HFM - not just a cloud version, but a better one.

Oracle has recognized that commitment too - naming Finext Partner of the Year on multiple occasions. An award that reflects not just technical knowledge, but the results we consistently deliver for our clients.

When we implement Oracle EPM Cloud for you, we bring decades of hands-on experience, deep product knowledge, and a clear understanding of what your finance organization actually needs to perform.
