CCH Tagetik has named Current its Innovator Partner of the Year for 2026.

We are a certified CCH Tagetik implementation partner. We are also, as far as we know, the first to put agents to work inside a Tagetik implementation: engines trained on consolidation, account reconciliation, the close cockpit, and financial statement templates, doing the configuration work module by module, with a certified team reviewing every result. That is what the award recognizes.

What we changed

EPM programs have always failed in the same two places: integration and configuration. Both are effort-bound. A team maps the chart of accounts, builds the consolidation rules, wires the data, validates the output, and does it again for the next entity. The work is well understood and slow.

We industrialized it. Circuit's engines pull the live configuration out of the source system, break the work into a tracked backlog, configure natively in Tagetik, and hand each piece back for human review. The people on the engagement spend their time on the judgment calls, not the keystrokes. Implementations and SAP BPC migrations that once took a traditional timeline now take materially less, and adoption is higher because finance was in the loop the whole way.

What it means for the office of the CFO

The award matters to us because of what it signals to finance leaders. Agents in the CFO's office are not a demo. They are configuring production consolidation systems today, under the guardrails the office already expects: maker-checker, an audit trail, and a person approving every consequential action.

If your finance transformation includes an EPM platform, we now have the platform partner's own recognition that the way we do it works. See the practice, or start with the Office of the CFO.

Thank you to the CCH Tagetik partner team, and to the finance and IT teams who let us do this work inside their close.
