What Amarante Consulting does

Amarante Consulting SL is a privately held Spanish consultancy founded in 2013 in Madrid by Hugo Amarante, specializing in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) advisory, implementation, support, and training services. The firm supports financial consolidation, planning and budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and business intelligence use cases for corporate finance departments, CFOs, and finance leadership at enterprise clients, primarily in Spain and Portugal with stated ambitions across EMEA.

The company's core offering is professional services on top of five partner EPM platforms: Oracle Hyperion, Oracle EPM Cloud, OneStream XF, Board, and Lucanet. There is no proprietary software product; the firm's deliverables are consulting-led (solution selection, custom implementation, upgrades/migrations), recurring support, and customized role-based training. A strategic partnership with OneStream Software, announced in February 2023, positions Amarante as a regional implementation partner for OneStream's unified consolidation and planning platform across EMEA. Complementary partnerships with Lucanet (IFRS 16-focused consolidation), Board (planning/BI), and Oracle (on-prem Hyperion plus EPM Cloud) round out the multi-vendor delivery capability.

Commercially, Amarante operates a quote-based, direct enterprise field-sales model: senior consultants engage clients consultatively to scope custom EPM programs. Revenue streams are entirely professional services (advisory, implementation, support, training) — no disclosed pricing, no SaaS, and no product license revenue. The firm has a wholly-owned Portuguese subsidiary opened in 2022 and is headquartered at Avenida de Brasil 6, Madrid, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership; ownership and direction remain concentrated with the founder.

Comparable as a broader incumbent that frequently out-competes boutique EPM specialists on scale, geography, and cross-functional advisory mandates.
