As a consulting and services partner, LEONAVIS supports large enterprises and upper mid-market in complex SAP programs — specialized in Finance, Controlling and Project System, from S/4HANA transformation through to AMS operations.

Reporting & Financial Close

Traceable from the document to the reported figure: finance, controlling and projects come together in the close. Cleanly reconciled, without Excel bridges and without last-day surprises.

The LEONAVIS Manifesto

Generalists migrate the technology.
We secure the group close.

An S/4HANA migration in logistics or procurement is an IT project. In Finance, Controlling and Project System, group close, consolidation and project costing depend on every posting and every settlement running cleanly from day one. The biggest risk to your go-live is not the technology, but a twenty-year-old chart of accounts carried over 1:1. And you set the course for cloud tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud and Joule now: the ERP operating model (public or private cloud) determines how quickly you can work with them.

Services

Core competencies with technical depth

We focus on SAP Finance, Controlling, Project System and Portfolio Management (EPPM) and the integration modules critical to them — with the level of detail these topics demand.

S/4HANA Transformation

Greenfield, brownfield, selective data transition. Structured delivery models based on SAP Activate — from fit-gap to stable operations after go-live.

Finance & Controlling

General ledger, cost accounting, profitability analysis, consolidation foundation. IFRS and US-GAAP-compliant designs for global groups.

Project System & Portfolio Management (EPPM)

Project structures, planning and settlement in SAP PS — linked with SAP Portfolio & Project Management (PPM) and Commercial Project Management (CPM). From strategic portfolio steering through resource planning to settlement: one continuous chain from project proposal to group portfolio.

Data Migration

Zero-error migrations built on established playbooks. Master data, transactional data, cutover — including a defensible reconciliation concept.

Technical Excellence

Customizing and ABAP enhancements (BAdIs, user exits), IDoc and interface design. Root-cause analysis instead of symptom treatment in AMS operations.

Managed Services & AMS

Stable SAP operations after go-live. Production support, hypercare and continuous improvement — including multi-year engagements.

Process architecture & E2E model

Where value is created — and where it is lost

FI, CO and PS touch every value-driving end-to-end process. It is at these interfaces that an S/4HANA migration either accelerates or blocks the financial close.

R2R

Record-to-Report

Chart-of-accounts harmonization, Universal Journal, New GL – a clean close instead of Excel reconciliation.

P2A

Plan-to-Actual

Cost accounting, CO-PA, product costing – no media breaks, no manual allocations.

P2C

Project-to-Cash

PS structures, Commercial Project Management (CPM), milestone billing, POC recognition for ETO, engineering and services projects.

A2R

Acquire-to-Retire

Asset accounting, CAPEX steering, IFRS 16 – from the master record to disposal.

SAP AI Finance · Controlling & Close

AI promises a lot. It only delivers on clean data.

SAP Joule, predictive accounting and autonomous reconciliation are part of the S/4HANA Public Cloud release cycle. The bottleneck is not the technology, but an FI/CO/PS foundation a model can trust.

Predictive Accounting & Forecasting

AI-supported cash flow and working capital forecasts, validated against your existing planning logic.

Anomaly detection & Joule

Spot irregularities before the close – with clear limits on where a consultant takes over.

Governance & Audit Trail

SOX-compliant traceability – no black-box posting without an approval workflow.

An AI model on a twenty-year-old chart of accounts does not automate the close, it automates the error. We are FI/CO/PS specialists, not AI-hype consultants.
