From Excel Chaos to 3,000+ Automated Reconciliations

Every Finance Team Knows This Problem.

Spreadsheets that multiply. Processes that vary by division. Close cycles that depend on people remembering how it was done last quarter. For a global digital media and martech leader running account reconciliations across multiple divisions in Excel, the risk wasn't theoretical. It was audit exposure, manual errors, and a close process held together by tribal knowledge.

Standardization wasn't optional. It was overdue.

One Platform. Every Reconciliation. No More Guesswork.

We implemented Oracle Cloud EPM Account Reconciliation and connected it directly to GL, AP, AR, and FA systems — replacing fragmented Excel processes with a single, unified platform.

What that delivered:

• 3,000+ reconciliations standardized across divisions with consistent processes and clear ownership
• 30% of reconciliations fully automated, removing manual work from the close cycle entirely
• Automated data flows and integrated approval workflows that eliminate the handoffs where errors happen
• Real-time visibility into reconciliation status — not end-of-month reports that arrive too late to act on

Faster Close. Fewer Errors. Audit Risk Reduced.

Finance teams close faster, with confidence the numbers are right. Manual work is down. Errors are fewer. Audit exposure is reduced.

But the bigger shift is what finance teams can do now that they're not reconciling spreadsheets. Less time on process. More time on the work that actually moves the business.

That's the difference between a reconciliation process that works and one that scales.
