Vital answers for finance.

Financial management is very different from financial accounting.  Accounting focuses on where you have been.  Financial management looks at where you are going.  Trying to manage your organization's future with a reporting system designed for accounting is like trying to drive a car via the rear view mirror.  Does this sound familiar?

A strong financial analytics platform not only enables effective forecasting, it creates one cohesive financial ecosystem delivering the "big picture".  The eThority Financial Performance Suite™ delivers this ecosystem so you can focus your efforts on steering your organization…not data collection.

The Financial Performance Suite quickly connects with financial systems from vendors like Oracle®, SAP®, Sungard®, and more.  We also connect to open source financial systems such as Kuali®.  As a matter of fact, we haven't met a system yet we couldn't connect to!

At eThority, we have been solving tough financial management problems for almost two decades.  But don't take our word for it; see what our customers are saying:
