Transforming Financial Close Processes with Advanced Automation: The Signify Success Story
Learn how advanced automation transformed Signify’s financial close process, driving efficiency, transparency, and accuracy in their global operations.

A robust financial close process is crucial for accurate, timely, and compliant financial reporting. However, a lack of standardisation, particularly across global entities, often prevents organisations from minimising errors and meeting regulatory requirements with confidence.
Join experts from AICO and Signify to discover the power of automation within financial close processes. Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), sought to streamline and enhance its financial close processes across 164 legal entities globally. With multiple SAP instances and a series of new acquisitions, the company faced increasing complexity in its month-end closing operations and aimed to drive greater standardisation and efficiency.
Key Challenges
- Standardising and automating month-end close activities across all group companies.
- Reducing reliance on disparate software tools for financial close processes.
- Digitising closing activities by business unit for better alignment.
- Achieving real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities.
- Ensuring full visibility of the financial close process.
Discover how, after implementing AICO’s Financial Close Automation Platform, Signify was able to:
- Identify and eliminate 30% of obsolete activities.
- Automate balance sheet reconciliation to enhance data quality and optimise the process.
- Streamlining the global month-end close.
- Improve journal entry automation and data quality.
- Reduce manual tasks and increase efficiency across the board.
