Addison Group keeps $1B retailer on track during SAP S/4HANA implementation
A billion dollar retailer going through an SAP S/4HANA implementation needed highly skilled accounting professionals to help stay on track.
Challenge: Client faced major risks amid SAP S/4HANA implementation
Our client was implementing a complex system, SAP S/4HANA. The implementation process comes with significant risks for accounting teams if additional support isn’t in place.
For our client, a $1+ billion retailer, the stakes were high: delayed or inaccurate financial reporting, backlogged reconciliations, and staff burnout due to overtime were real possibilities they could not risk.
Solutions: Additional accounting support to ensure smooth SAP S/4HANA implementation
Over a duration of 24 months, the Addison Group team ensured the client’s month-end close processes stayed on track while their permanent team focused on the S/4HANA implementation.
Our highly skilled accounting professionals acted as a critical stopgap, taking on essential responsibilities, including managing month-end close activities, completing complex reconciliations, and ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.
In addition to staff augmentation, we placed a functional consultant to design, map out, and implement their inventory module. This addition streamlined their processes, ensured system alignment with operational needs, and allowed the client to maximize the value of their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) investment.
By seamlessly integrating with the client’s existing team, we provided stability, expertise, and continuity—ensuring deadlines were met, reporting remained accurate, and burnout was avoided.
