Esker, the global authority in AI-powered business solutions for the Office of the CFO, announced a strategic partnership with Horváth, a global management consultancy for transformation, performance management and digitalization. Together, the companies will help large-scale organizations optimize working capital and operational performance by combining Esker’s AI-powered cloud automation technology with Horváth’s strategic capabilities.
“Partnering with Horváth allows Esker to bring even more strategic value to our customers,” said Claire Valencony, Deputy Chief Revenue Officer at Esker. “By combining Esker’s deep automation expertise with Horváth’s strategic consulting knowledge, we help organizations bridge strategy and execution – driving confident, rapid and measurable transformation in finance and supply chain operations.”
According to industry research, fewer than half of global organizations successfully align their digital transformation efforts with measurable business outcomes. This partnership addresses that gap by combining Horváth’s expertise in operational excellence with Esker’s AI-driven automation, ensuring that digital transformation translates into measurable improvements in liquidity, cycle times and overall financial performance.

“Through this partnership, customers will benefit from a complete, end-to-end package that combines strategic consultancy with powerful, integrated solutions,” said Patrick Bley, Head of Alliances for DACH at Esker. “This enables organizations with complex ERP environments to modernize finance and procurement more easily, reduce complexity and achieve faster, sustainable process improvements — leveraging the combined expertise and experience of Esker and Horváth.”
The partnership focuses on transforming key workflows – including sourcing, contract and order management, procurement, accounts payable and receivable and invoice delivery – to accelerate digital transformation, enhance process transparency and align technology investments with measurable business outcomes. This focus is reflected in the companies’ first joint white paper, which examines how strategic process design and intelligent automation can improve working capital performance.
“At Horváth, we often see that standard ERP systems reach their limits when it comes to process automation, including AI enhancements, or when ERP environments become too fragmented,” said Stefan Maus, Partner at Horváth. “Collaborating with Esker allows us to offer clients flexible and pragmatic options to bridge these gaps and achieve faster, more transparent and sustainable process improvements, all without any customer-specific development within the ERP systems themselves.”
