Transform Your Finance Technology into Strategic Assets

Our financial systems consultants help organizations optimize legacy tools and implement modern financial software that improves reporting, drives efficiency, and supports scalable growth.

We take a finance-first approach, evaluating how systems impact decision-making, close cycles, and operational clarity, so technology becomes a strategic asset, not just an IT upgrade.

Our Financial Systems Consulting Approach

8020 follows a structured, finance-first approach to improve clarity, reduce disruption, and ensure long-term adoption, without technology for technology’s sake.

01


Assess & Diagnose


We evaluate current financial systems, workflows, reporting gaps, data integrity, and manual workarounds to identify root causes.


02


Design the Right Solution

We determine whether optimization, integration, or system replacement is required based on business needs, growth trajectory, and risk tolerance.

03


Implement & Integrate

We execute changes with hands-on finance leadership, aligning systems across ERPs, CRMs, and operational tools to deliver connected, reliable data.

04


Enable & Adopt

We provide training, documentation, and governance frameworks to ensure sustainable adoption and consistent performance over time.

Our focus is on business outcomes, not technical features.

Optimize or Replace? How We Help You Decide 

Not every financial system needs to be replaced, and replacing the wrong one can introduce unnecessary cost and risk.

Optimize Existing Systems When:

  • Core functionality still supports business needs
  • Reporting gaps are configuration-based
  • Manual workarounds can be automated

Replace Systems When:

  • Growth is constrained by system architecture
  • Reporting accuracy or timeliness is compromised
  • Integrations are brittle or unsupported

We help finance leaders make disciplined decisions rooted in outcomes and not vendor pressure.

These moments demand clarity, speed, and experienced leadership.
