Oracle FCCS consulting and implementation. A faster, accurate close, run directly by an Oracle ACE Pro.
Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close automates the end-to-end close: intercompany eliminations, currency translation, ownership, and multi-GAAP reporting across entities. I implement FCCS, reengineer the systems where close still drags, and migrate HFM to the cloud. Senior-led throughout.
When the close still takes too long
If you have FCC and close is slow, the problem is usually the rules, the data flow, or the ownership structure.
Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close, also known as FCCS, handles intercompany eliminations, currency translations, minority interests, and regulatory reporting across multiple entities and accounting standards. It is powerful when it is configured well.
If close is still taking longer than it should, a targeted reengineering pass on the elimination logic, data loads, and close tasks typically cuts cycle time significantly, without rebuilding the application.
Organizations running FCC inefficiently typically achieve a 40 to 50 percent reduction in close cycle time after a targeted reengineering pass. Most of the lost time sits in manual journal entries, broken elimination logic, and data loads that could be automated but are not.
What Oracle FCCS consulting covers
Implementation, consolidation reengineering, multi-GAAP, integration, and HFM migration across the full close process.
From a new FCCS implementation to fixing a close that drags. The same senior consultant stays with the work from scope to handover.
What's included
New implementation
End-to-end FCCS setup: entity and ownership structure, consolidation and elimination rules, currency, close tasks, and reporting, through to go-live.
Consolidation reengineering
Review of entity structure, ownership hierarchy, intercompany logic, and elimination rules. Fix what is slowing the close down.
Multi-GAAP configuration
Parallel IFRS and US GAAP reporting, including adjustments, reclassifications, and statutory versus management views. Configured or refined.
Source system integration
Data load from ERP, GL, and subsidiary systems using Data Management and EPM Automate. Scheduled, validated, and auditable.
Close task automation
Close task lists, workflow, and sign-off, replacing email chains and spreadsheet trackers.
HFM to FCCS migration
Migration from on-premise Hyperion Financial Management to Oracle Cloud FCCS, mapping consolidation rules and custom calculations.
Reporting and supplemental data
Financial reports, flux analysis, and supplemental data collection, built or rebuilt depending on current state.
First-close support
Hands-on support through the first month-end or quarter-end close on the new system, when it meets real volume.
Typical timeline: 10 to 16 weeks for a full implementation, 3 to 8 weeks for focused reengineering. HFM migrations vary with entity count and GAAP requirements.
