Case Study: AGF Group achieves a 5‑day faster close and enhanced performance tracking with CCH Tagetik

AGF Group's CFO sleeps better at night now with CCH Tagetik's Platform solution for Consolidation!

AGF Group, a Canadian reinforcing steel and post-tensioning company with over 25 business units founded in 1948, faced a slow, error-prone consolidation process driven by Excel and Google Sheets. Month‑end and quarter‑end closes were tedious, currency translation across seven currencies was manual and risky, and the finance team needed greater confidence in the numbers delivered to management.

AGF implemented CCH Tagetik on the cloud for Consolidation, Budgeting & Planning and Collaborative Office, gaining automated currency consolidation, stricter data validation, and a single platform for multiple budgets, forecasts and actuals. The result: a more reliable close that’s over five days faster, clearer performance insights (including days sales outstanding by division/country), and a finance team confident in recommending the solution.
