About

A startup built around conviction.

EPM Analytics AI is a founder-led Oracle EPM consulting firm with over thirty years of hands-on delivery experience. No bench, no hand-offs, no junior surprises. A senior team that has shipped Oracle EPM since the Hyperion days, now applying AI to the work we have done by hand for decades.

Why we built this

The same playbook stopped working.

Most Oracle EPM consulting firms are still selling the same delivery model from a decade ago: bigger teams, longer roadmaps, junior consultants billed at senior rates. We watched AI quietly change what was possible inside finance — and watched the consulting industry mostly pretend it wasn’t happening. EPM Analytics AI exists to close that gap. A startup by design. Founder-led on every engagement. AI-powered from the first conversation, not bolted on at the end.

Practice expertise

Specialists across the EPM stack.

Our practice is built around senior specialists across most EPM modules that includes Planning, Consolidation, Account Reconciliation, Profitability & Cost Management, and Narrative Reporting — a combination that is valuable when an enterprise stack has to stay clean as the business evolves.

We have worked on Oracle EPM across industries; as practitioners we built around AI to the disciplines we know best.

How we work

Four things that make us different.

No bench, no hand-offs

You hire the senior team. The senior team does the work. There is no junior consultant being trained on your project.

AI from the first conversation

AI is not a workshop we run after delivery. It is the default tool from scoping through go-live, applied by people who know where it actually helps.

Startup by design

We take a small number of engagements at a time. That is a feature, not a constraint. It is how senior people stay senior on your project.

Built on real Oracle EPM

Thirty years of practitioner experience across Planning, Consolidation, PCM, Narrative Reporting, Master Data, Hierarchies, Integration, and Identity Management. We have shipped the work. Now we are applying AI to it.
