    Improve availability and quality of financial information

    A recent survey of 700 finance professionals highlighted that two thirds have not mastered the volume and variety of business data.

    Aptitude Software helps our enterprise customers to create a ledger-certified financial data foundation that links transactions from source-to-post. With a single operational environment, financial controllers, accountants, auditors and business partners are able to understand and have confidence in balances and control accounting rules. In turn, this ensures that finance can confidently deliver data and informational insights for business analysis and reporting.

  • Standardize and automate accounting and transaction processing

    Aptitude Software combines financial expertise with sophisticated, packaged solutions that help organizations efficiently address new regulations.  We work with our customers and partners to advise clients and develop efficient, innovative solutions to accounting policy changes such as IFRS 15/ASC 606 (revenue recognition), IAS39/IFRS 9/CECL (financial instruments), IFRS 4 part II/IFRS 17 (insurance contracts) and IFRS 16 (leases).

  • Modernize finance IT architectures

    Modernize finance IT architectures

    Ensure that the finance IT environment provides the efficiency, agility, insights and performance that your business requires.

    ERP solutions often fail to deliver the granularity and detail that financial controllers, finance business partners and regulatory reporting teams require. We are different than most IT-centric technology solution approaches as we focus on delivering specialist solutions for finance who have long been underserved by Big Data-type technologies and ERP platforms. Aptitude Software’s specialist engines and platforms integrate with and complement existing back office systems and often do not require the massive systems changes associated with other approaches.

    Read more about how Aptitude Software fits within a Post-Modern ERP environment from Gary Simon, CEO of FSN Publishing and Finance IT expert.
