How it works

Unit4 Financials provides real-time financial visibility and control across your organisation’s people, processes and IT systems. This relies on streamlining the ways you get data into the system, and enhancing the value of the intelligence that comes out so you can take action.

  • Get data in

    Compliant Finance - 24/7 data accuracy and compliance

    Unlike disparate or modular ledger systems requiring batch synchronization and time-consuming manual reconciliations, Unit4 Financials provides immediate visibility into your finances with a single version of the truth. Eliminate time lags, sub-ledgers, reconciling, and manual processes. Add, keep, and change systems without losing control.

    Lean Finance - Ensure process efficiency

    Traditional systems are hampered by rigid, generic user interfaces, requiring consultants or IT to hard-code updates for process improvements. Unit4 Financials provides automation solutions for statement processing, reconciliation and overhead allocation. You are in charge of making changes to processes, applications and people via workflows from within the user interface itself.

     

  • Get intelligence out

    Intelligence Provider - Insight for informed decisions

    Some finance tools limit you with rigid, inflexible generic reporting templates or P&L statements that lack dimensional data. Unit4 Financials empowers you with operational, real time, transparent tools that integrate across the organization. A unified ledger means no reconciliation, so no waiting -- all the data is fresh and accurate across all your integrated systems.

    Business Partner - Provide self-service advice for future growth

    Finance often finds itself relying on a reporting team to process information, which leads to delays, generic report structures and information shortages. Instead, use a system that proves personalised, relevant data that you can access and customise yourself. Unit4 offers infinite ways to classify, measure, and analyse information, with data the way you want it. You can even use your browser for 100% of the reporting, so you don't affect your database.

Scalable services for efficient growth

Show Hide
Process efficiency is all about automation and control. With Unit4 Financials, your organisation can streamline and automate processes, embed best-practices, improve business visibility, and maintain corporate governance at any scale. 
In times of growth, processes often become overextended, resulting in slower access to data and increasing manual overhead. Unit4 Financials helps you solve this problem with the ability to extend and automate financial controls across processes, applications and people via workflows. Automate most functions in processing and reconciliation, including a powerful automated overhead allocations engine and automated monthly reporting to cut audit costs.
Scale your processes without limits, including tapping into shared service capabilities to optimally and efficiently support double-digit growth ambitions or company expansion. 
Most importantly, maintain the power to make changes yourself, from within the application, to stay agile and efficient even during times of aggressive company growth.

A unified ledger with multi-dimensional accounting

The best financial systems provide can turn complexity into simplicity. Unit4 Financials’ single financial model allows changes to be made efficiently in one, real-time single ledger system, without requiring reconciliation, so it provides financial information that is always in balance.

At the same time, the system’s multi-dimensional structure enables infinite ways to classify, measure and analyze data, regardless of complexity, for the best possible visibility. Now, each line of the business can monitor profitability the way it needs to. Multi-national operations with complex local regulations can capture transactions in multiple currencies, in multiple countries, in multiple languages. With this power, you can both meet specific local accounting requirements and maintain global consistency, visibility and control.
