Implementing Cloud Financials: From Empty Pod to Go-Live
Sixteen modules, seventeen labs, and a full implementation capstone
A practical implementation course for functional consultants, finance system analysts and finance staff handed a cloud ERP project. Vendor documentation tells you what the setup tasks are. This covers the part that is not written down: what order to do things in when reality intrudes, what breaks three months later during close, why a design decision matters, and how to run the client conversation before you configure anything. Every module ends with a failure segment — the specific misconfigurations that surface too late.

Taught live by an Oracle consultant, with every session recorded for anyone who misses one. Places are limited — we teach these in small groups so questions get answered.
Your access starts the day you enrol, not the day the cohort starts. The written lessons, the quizzes and the final assessment open straight away, so you can come to the first session having already read the ground.
The sessions run online, and the joining details reach you by email before the first one.

Who this is for
- Functional consultants implementing cloud financials, on a first project or a fifth.
- Finance systems analysts who own the configuration after go-live and inherit whatever was decided before them.
- Finance staff — controllers, payables and receivables leads, close owners — handed a cloud ERP project alongside the day job.
- Not for you if you want a tour of the screens. This is about the order of the work and the decisions that outlive it.
What you will be able to do
- Run a chart of accounts design workshop and defend the structure you leave with
- Build a ledger end to end — value sets through to an open first period
- Configure tax for two countries and diagnose why tax did not calculate
- Take a supplier invoice and a customer invoice through their full cycles to cash
- Reconcile a bank statement automatically and explain the exceptions
- Choose the right reporting tool in under a minute, and build the statements
- Plan and execute an opening balance migration that reconciles
- Implement a finance system from a client brief alone
What you should know first
- You can read a trial balance, a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement
- No prior experience of this platform is assumed
- Access to a practice environment. Recommended rather than required — without one the hands-on segments are read-only, and nothing else in the course is affected
