May, 2025 \u2013 [Philadelphia, United States] \u2013 In response to growing frustration among global organizations facing fragmented financial operations and misaligned reporting practices, Horvath and cbs Corporate Business Solutions have joined forces to deliver a comprehensive \u201cONE Finance\u201d solution \u2014 bridging the critical gap between strategic vision and execution for finance transformations in SAP S\/4HANA environments.<\/p>\n
Today, many enterprises are hindered by unclear target operating models, KPIs that are isolated within legal entities or business units (limiting comparability), and inconsistent profit center and cost center structures. These challenges are often compounded by localized charts of accounts and manually adjusted, misaligned global reporting cycles. The result is operational inefficiency, reduced transparency, and a lack of transformation momentum.<\/p>\n
The partnership between Horvath and cbs delivers a harmonized, end-to-end approach to finance transformation \u2014 from strategic design to hands-on implementation. By combining Horvath\u2019s strategic advisory expertise with the technical and functional execution capabilities of cbs, organizations gain access to a unified methodology that accelerates the realization of value in SAP S\/4HANA initiatives.<\/p>\n
This collaboration is built on a shared vision for what a modern, global finance organization should look like. It integrates management consulting with deep process and systems expertise, supported by proven tools and accelerators that enable value-based adoption of SAP S\/4HANA. Most importantly, it eliminates the common disconnect between strategy and execution by offering a single, cohesive partner throughout the journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this partnership, Horv\u00e1th paints the big picture and defines the transformation vision using strategic tools. cbs brings that vision to life \u2014 technically, practically, and globally,\u201d said Rene Linsler, CEO Americas at Horvath. Lorenz Praefcke, CEO of cbs America, added, \u201cWe challenge each other constructively to ensure what is imagined is also feasible \u2014 and delivered. This maximizes FAST VALUE for all our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Together, Horvath and cbs act as a single strategic partner, guiding companies through complex financial transformations with a unified methodology and one voice \u2014 enabling faster results, reduced risk, and measurable value creation.<\/p>\n
