Core Finance & Accounting Capabilities to Evaluate

The functional surface area a buyer should expect from a mature ERP finance & accounting module.

How to Evaluate Finance & Accounting in an ERP

Practical checks drawn from real ERP selection projects — things vendors frequently gloss over in demos.

• →Insist on seeing a live multi-entity consolidation demo with intercompany eliminations, not just slides — this is where most mid-market ERPs are weakest relative to Oracle, SAP and Workday
• →If you operate across US GAAP and IFRS, verify parallel ledgers (dual-book posting) rather than period-end mappings — the second approach causes audit pain
• →Ask whether ASC 606 revenue recognition is native or requires a third-party bolt-on like RevPro / Zuora Revenue — the latter adds $50K–$200K/year
• →For manufacturers: check standard vs actual cost support, variance categorisation, and whether cost rolls run automatically against BOM changes
• →For services firms: confirm the finance module supports project-based revenue recognition with milestone and percentage-complete accounting integrated, not bolted on
• →Compare audit-trail depth — SOX-relevant organisations need field-level change history with user, timestamp and before/after values, not just transactional logs
• →Test the close process end-to-end on your own test data before signing: many vendors demo a clean close but struggle with complex intercompany, FX revaluation and deferred revenue schedules
