Case Study: SEEK accelerates financial reporting from days to minutes with Oracle Cloud EPM

SEEK recruits Oracle Cloud EPM for speedy financial reporting

SEEK, the Melbourne‑founded recruitment and education group operating in 18 countries and growing about 20% annually, needed faster, more reliable financial insights to compete with data‑savvy players. After a three‑year Cloud 9 program, its reporting and reconciliation processes were still slow and manual, limiting the finance team’s ability to deliver timely, localized analysis across markets.

SEEK adopted Oracle Cloud EPM — with a quick trial and fast integration — to modernize reporting. The solution cut report generation from days to minutes, reduced P&L builds from weeks to under a week, and automated monthly packs that previously needed half an FTE into a one‑minute process. By eliminating roughly four FTEs’ worth of reconciliation work (about AU$560,000) and automating low‑value tasks, finance now focuses on data quality, tailored reports and stronger business partnering; the full deployment completed in about three to four months.
