Overview

Treasury, consolidation, tax, and IFRS on the same SAP core.

Advanced finance is the Grupo Intelsis practice that complements SAP S/4HANA wherever the finance function needs deeper expertise: treasury and collections, budgeting and consolidation, tax management and e-invoicing, and IFRS standards, including IFRS 16.

We start with a free 30-minute assessment to understand priorities, releases, and where manual effort concentrates. We then co-design the scope with controlling, treasury, tax, and IT, and deliver in short cycles with frequent validation.

What sets the approach apart is working on the same SAP data, with no parallel systems: budgets with many participants, consolidation that accepts data from external entities, and tax compliance with less effort, supported by communication with tax authorities.

  • Treasury, liquidity, and collections in SAP S/4HANA

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Advanced finance

Doesn't SAP S/4HANA already cover treasury, consolidation, and tax?

SAP S/4HANA provides a solid foundation for these areas, with the Universal Journal at its center. Our advanced finance practice activates and configures the specific capabilities, integrates external sources, and covers requirements that go beyond the standard, depending on each company's release and licensing.

How do you handle tax requirements across different countries?

By separating SAP's global standard from local requirements. We use SAP's compliance capabilities for electronic documents and reports and assess extensions when a country's requirement goes beyond what the standard delivers.

How does consolidation work with entities that don't run SAP?

Entities outside SAP submit data through structured uploads, with account mapping and validations before it enters consolidation. That way, the group consolidates with a single process, even when subsidiaries run different ERPs.

What does IFRS 16 change in SAP?

IFRS 16 brings most leases onto the balance sheet, with a right-of-use asset and a lease liability updated over the life of the contract. We build solutions in SAP to calculate, post, and track these contracts without parallel spreadsheets.

Do I need to implement every area at once?

No. Treasury, budgeting, consolidation, tax, and IFRS can come in waves, based on regulatory risk, manual effort, and the business calendar. The assessment helps define where to start.
