<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Looking for input on<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/enterprise-performance-management-epm-consultants"> Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Consultants</a> from finance leaders in accounting and insurance organisations, specifically where the planning and reporting environment is highly regulated, the data models are complex (actuarial assumptions, multi-entity consolidations, statutory reporting requirements), and the EPM consultant needs to understand the finance function deeply enough to design solutions that work within those constraints.</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/collectiv/reviews"><strong>Collectiv</strong></a>: Transforms data into actionable observations that aid money and staffing decisions — the finance team's language rather than a technologist's. The write-back capability within Power BI is specifically noted as valuable for finance teams who need planning-level interaction with data, not just reporting. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/pricewaterhousecoopers-pwc/reviews"><strong>PwC</strong></a>: Audit and assurance services that help organisations accurately report financial results build the trust that accounting and insurance finance leaders need from an EPM partner who will interact with the same data their auditors will review. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/kpmg/reviews"><strong>KPMG</strong></a>: KPMG's accounting and insurance sector representation provides the sector-specific evidence base that finance leaders in regulated financial sectors need when evaluating an EPM consulting partner. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ernst-young/reviews"><strong>Ernst &amp; Young</strong></a>: EY's positioning as one of the world's leading professional services firms for financial consulting is directly relevant for accounting and insurance finance leaders who need an EPM partner whose credentials will withstand scrutiny from their own audit committee and regulators. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/datavail/reviews"><strong>Datavail</strong></a>: For accounting and insurance finance leaders whose EPM platform of choice is Oracle, which is common in large accounting and insurance organisations given Oracle's strength in financial consolidation and close management, Datavail's Oracle partnership and specialist-led engagement model provides deep platform expertise that generalist consulting firms cannot match. </li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For finance leaders in accounting or insurance who have implemented an EPM platform, how did the regulatory reporting requirements shape the platform architecture, and did the consultant understand those constraints from day one or require significant education about the sector's specific planning and reporting obligations?</p>

In services the rating attaches to the logo, but the risk attaches to the specific team staffed on your engagement, and those diverge more than the brand suggests. A firm having an insurance practice doesn&#39;t mean the five people on your SOW have built a statutory reserving or multi-entity consolidation model before, and the partner who knows the sector in the pitch usually isn&#39;t the one writing your rules; the audit relationship and the EPM delivery pod are different people. For anyone in accounting or insurance: did you vet the actual named team&#39;s prior work in your specific reporting regime, or go on the firm&#39;s sector reputation and find the learning curve mid-project?
