Financial control across every entity
and a foundation that grows with the group.

Four challenges decide whether you can lead a multi-entity group with confidence. Most financial software solves one of them. Corvenia is the infrastructure that solves all four. See how Corvenia compares across the four challenges that matter most.

Financial control in a multi-entity group is not one challenge, but four.

PROBLEM 1

The group P&L is unreliable when decisions need it most

Strategic decisions happen on numbers two weeks old. Boards make calls, then ask the controller to reconcile. Every downstream decision inherits the fragility of the consolidation.

With Corvenia: Live ERP connection, AI-assisted account mapping with human approval, automated intercompany elimination. Consolidated financials always current. Decisions move at the pace of the business.

PROBLEM 2

The group cannot explain its own performance in time to act.

By the time anyone knows why a number moved, the window to act has closed. Operational issues that should have been corrected in week two surface in week eight.

With Corvenia: Drill from group KPI to entity to cost centre to transaction in the same session. Problems surface in the close cycle they happen in, not the next one.

PROBLEM 3

Deep-root cause analysis across the cross-portfolio cannot be trusted or done efficiently.

The CFO is asked which entity is leading, lagging, or anomalous. The honest answer takes manual reconciliation. The fast answer is Capital allocation decisions inherit the guess.

With Corvenia: Normalized data across every entity, exposed via Excel, PowerBI, open API, and MCP. Finance works in the tools they already know, on data that holds up to scrutiny because it comes from one source.

PROBLEM 4

AI cannot be put to work where leadership needs it most

AI sits in the back office. Outputs cannot face the board, the audit committee, or a regulator without traceable data. The competitive advantage other groups are starting to capture stays out of reach.

With Corvenia: A Virtual Group Ledger built for AI-era requirements normalized, context-aware, auditable, open. AI outputs trace back to source. Usable in front of a board.

How Corvenia stands against what you may be evaluating

Corvenia vs. IBM Cognos Controller

Move from fragmented reporting to group-wide insight in days, not months. No dedicated IT team, lengthy implementation, or enterprise-sized license costs required.

Corvenia vs. OneStream

Build consolidation, reporting, analysis, and AI on an open architecture that works with your existing systems instead of locking you into a proprietary platform.

Corvenia vs. CCH Tagetik

The same trusted data model powers consolidation, analysis, KPIs, and AI. No duplicate systems. No reconciliation between platforms.

Corvenia vs. BrightAnalytics

Reporting tools explain what happened. Corvenia creates a governed financial data foundation that supports consolidation, analysis, planning, and AI.

Corvenia vs. Konsolidator

Live ERP connectivity and automated mapping reduce manual preparation. Your finance team spends less time assembling numbers and more time acting on them.

Corvenia vs. Sum Ledger

A single architecture supports close, analysis, and AI from day one. No rebuilds or migrations as requirements evolve.

Corvenia vs. EPM Platforms

Most EPM projects focus on planning and forecasting. Corvenia establishes a reliable financial foundation that every future planning initiative can build on.

Corvenia vs. Excel-based processes

Stop chasing spreadsheets and investigating variances weeks later. Understand what changed, why it changed, and where action is needed within the same reporting cycle.

Corvenia vs. Anaplan, Workday Adaptive, Oracle EPM, SAP

Planning platforms are only as effective as the data beneath them. Corvenia creates a governed, ERP-connected foundation that strengthens every reporting, planning, and AI initiative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Corvenia rather than the platforms we already know?

Most platforms were built for reporting. Corvenia is built for planning, with AI-powered forecasting, scenario modeling, and budgeting in one place, no heavy customization or IT dependency required.

How long does it take to go live?

Most customers are live in days. Corvenia sets up data connections, model configuration, and training and your team hits the ground running.

Do we need IT to run Corvenia?

No. Corvenia is a cloud-based platform your finance team owns and operates independently. IT may assist with initial SSO or ERP setup, but everything after that is fully self-serve.

How does Corvenia compare on cost to the alternatives?

Corvenia has transparent, scalable pricing with no per-module fees or costly consultant engagements.

What happens to our setup when we acquire a new entity?

Adding a new entity is a configuration task, not a reimplementation. Map the chart of accounts, define eliminations, and it rolls into your existing models.
