Companies are facing increasingly complex financial challenges. Especially in consolidation and financial planning, the requirements are becoming increasingly complex. High-quality financial information must be produced in an ever shorter time and meet the requirements of different addressees.
Our strategic partnership with Lucanet brings together our consulting expertise and a powerful IT system. In this way, we create individual solutions for our customers for the implementation, standardization, automation and optimization of processes.
User-friendly tool for complex accounting structures
Lucanet is a software provider from Berlin and has become one of the market leaders in Germany for financial performance management systems. For more than 20 years, Lucanet has set itself the goal of facilitating the daily work of CFOs, group accountants and controllers with user-friendly software and professional consulting. Lucanet's tools have proven to be helpful and user-friendly in dealing with complex accounting structures by providing support in the preparation of consolidated financial statements, financial planning and reporting.
In order to bundle technical and professional knowledge, we have established the Lucanet Center of Excellence. Here, an interdisciplinary team of certified Lucanet experts is available to you as a competent contact for all questions regarding Lucanet.
Our service offering
The strategic partnership between KPMG and Lucanet focuses on several areas:
Implementation and optimization
During implementation, we customize your system according to your wishes and specifications. In the process, we set up your consolidation groups, transfer legacy data and perform an initial consolidation run. Training your employees is also part of the implementation consulting. If you already have a Lucanet installation, we can help you to adapt it even better to your needs.
Consolidation as a managed service
We support you in having your consolidated financial statements prepared under commercial law by the experts at KPMG using Lucanet. This allows you to concentrate on your day-to-day business and save time, while we prepare your consolidated financial statements for you as a competent and reliable partner.
Carve-Out Financials
KPMG helps you prepare carve-out financials. For large and complex transactions, we use Lucanet software to prepare the necessary financial information for you in a high-quality and timely manner.
GAAP Conversion
KPMG carries out the conversion to a new accounting standard, such as IFRS or US GAAP, for your group. Here, too, you benefit from the use of the powerful and proven Lucanet software.
Reporting
After the successful consolidation, ad-hoc graphics can be generated in the solution reports software. Alternatively, these can be created in MS Excel using the Lucanet Excel add-in and Lucanet Excel reporting. We realize a print-ready annual report generation with a disclosure management solution. We also offer the reporting service as a managed service. We also support you with recurring reports, such as bank reporting, management reporting or covenant reporting.
Planning
Together with you, we design and implement integrated corporate planning for individual companies or your entire group. Especially in times of crisis, scenario calculations are important to manage the liquidity of your companies. In addition to an efficient planning process, including documentation and training of your employees, you will receive support in deriving planning premises and, if necessary, measures to improve results.
