What's Holding Your Business Back?
Many successful organisations face internal barriers that limit growth. Lack of agility and disconnected processes make it harder to respond to a changing market. Common barriers include:
- Slow decision: Endless spreadsheets, prone to errors and disconnected from each other.
- Endless planning cycles: Budgets and forecasts that take months and arrive too late to matter.
- No real visibility:: Unable to know which areas, products or clients are truly profitable.
- Data silos: Finance, operations, sales and HR work from different data, blocking integrated planning.
- Compliance Risk: Manual close and consolidation processes that increase regulatory exposure.
The Answer: Unified, Intelligent, Agile Management
Our EPM Services
Our Core Specialist Services
Financial Consolidation & Close:
Integrate and harmonise accounting data across your entire group — subsidiaries, business units, countries and systems. We ensure regulatory compliance (IFRS, US GAAP), cut manual errors and deliver a fast, reliable financial close.
Budgeting & Forecasting:
Starting from your strategic priorities and historical data, we build flexible budgets and multi-scenario forecasts that adapt to change. As the year progresses, we combine actuals with updated projections (such as a 3+9 rolling forecast) so you can act before problems arise.
Strategic Planning:
Define 3-5-year future scenarios. Drawing on your historical data and strategy, we set the key action plans and expected outcomes to guide long-term, sustainable growth.
Advanced Analytics, AI & Reporting:
Measure actuals against plan. We use KPIs and variance analysis to understand performance, identify best practices and build a culture of continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions about EPM
What exactly is Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and how does it differ from an ERP?
This is a fundamental question. Let’s break down the key concepts:
- What does EPM mean? EPM stands for Enterprise Performance Management. It’s not a single piece of software, but a set of strategic processes and methodologies that help organisations plan, measure and optimise their performance.
- How does EPM work? EPM connects corporate strategy with planning and execution. It draws data from multiple sources (ERP, CRM, HCM) to run key processes: budgeting, long-term planning, financial consolidation, management reporting and scenario analysis.
- What is an EPM system? An EPM system is the technology platform (software) that supports and automates these processes. It enables finance and operations teams to collaborate, analyse data and model the business future efficiently.
- What’s the difference between EPM and ERP? An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is transactional: it manages daily operations such as invoices, inventory and accounting — focused on the past and present. EPM is strategic: it uses ERP data to plan, analyse and model the future, enabling informed decisions. Both systems are complementary. ERP optimises operational management; EPM guides company strategy and supports fast, well-founded decisions in planning, financial close and reporting.
- What is EPM in finance? In finance, EPM powers what’s known as FPM (Financial Performance Management). It covers all critical CFO office processes: fast, reliable financial close, consolidated financial statements, planning, budgeting, cost management and management reporting.
- What is OPM? OPM extends the performance management cycle — consolidation, planning, budgeting, analysis and reporting — to each operational area (Sales, Marketing, HR, Production, Sustainability), linking and aligning them with Finance.
Our company is mid-sized. Are these solutions too large or complex for us?
Not at all. Our solutions are modular and scalable, designed to fit any organisation’s size, complexity and digital maturity. We start by understanding your most urgent challenges and can implement a single module — such as consolidation or budgeting — to generate value quickly, with the ability to expand as your business grows.
How long does an EPM project take to implement?
Duration depends on scope and complexity. A single-module project can complete in a few months. A full multi-process transformation runs in phased stages. Our agile methodology is designed to deliver tangible value at each phase, so you see benefits as early as possible.
You mention Oracle, OneStream and Jedox. How do you know which technology is right for us?
At Nova, we act as independent technology advisors. We don’t favour one platform over another — we favour the right solution for you. We start with a thorough diagnostic of your business processes, current technology and strategic goals. Based on this, we suggest the platform that best fits your needs, budget and future plans.
Our data is spread across multiple systems and even spreadsheets. Is this a problem?
Quite the opposite — it’s one of the core problems we solve. Integrating data from multiple sources is a fundamental part of any EPM project. Our expertise lies in connecting these systems (ERP, CRM, HR platforms) to create a single reliable source of insight for all planning and reporting processes.
How involved will our team need to be during the project?
We treat every project as a close collaboration. Your team — especially key users in finance and operations — will play a central role in design, validation and testing. Our goal isn’t just to implement a tool; it’s to transfer knowledge so your team owns the solution and uses it with full confidence and autonomy.
What support do you offer after go-live?
Our philosophy is to be a long-term partner. We offer flexible maintenance and support plans that include technical and functional support, ongoing training for new users, and continuous improvement to evolve the solution as your business needs change.
How do you measure the ROI of an EPM project?
EPM ROI shows up in several measurable ways:
- Efficiency: A sharp reduction in time spent on manual tasks (data gathering, consolidation), freeing your team for value-adding analysis.
- Accuracy: Fewer errors and more reliable data, leading to better forecasts.
- Agility: Shorter financial close and budgeting cycles (days instead of weeks or months).
- Strategic decisions: Scenario modelling that enables smarter capital allocation and faster market response.
- Automation: Fewer manual processes, connected systems and reduced errors.
• Scalability: Modular, unified EPM expansion as your organisation grows.
