WHO WE ARE

Steve Turner brings over two decades of global experience leading SAP Finance and Controlling programs across S/4HANA Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and on-premise landscapes.
A CPA and Certified S/4HANA Finance Lead, Steve helps CFOs and Finance Transformation Sponsors achieve clarity and control through complex SAP programs, without the noise, the waste, or the risk of misalignment.

Steve has delivered Finance transformations for global and regional enterprises including Adobe, Toyota Financial Services, MediaKind, Umoja Biopharma, Zep Inc., and Christchurch City Council, alongside public sector and mining leaders such as Rio Tinto and Spire.

His work spans the full program lifecycle, from Finance blueprinting and data migration to UAT, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization, across industries where accuracy, compliance, and transparency matter most.

• Finance Transformation & S/4HANA Leadership – End-to-end design and delivery for global finance programs
• Group Reporting & Consolidation – Multi-GAAP and multi-ledger architectures (IFRS, US GAAP)
• Testing, Data & Cutover Leadership – Readiness, validation, and zero-downtime go-lives
• Post-Go-Live Stabilization – Rapid issue triage and period-end stabilization
• Client-Side Advisory – Independent guidance for CFOs and Sponsors navigating complex SAP landscapes

Steve’s projects are known for hitting milestones others miss, because finance remains the driver, not the passenger.

Steve founded CoreFi Partners to give enterprise finance teams access to senior-only, conflict-free SAP Finance advisory.
CoreFi exists for clients who want the confidence of independent, hands-on leadership, not generic consulting.

Through CoreFi, Steve provides:

• Fractional SAP Finance Leadership – embedded advisory through design to deployment
• Fit-to-Standard Facilitation – aligning finance teams to best practice, not endless customization
• Testing & Cutover Ownership – clear, finance-led validation at every phase
• Post-Go-Live Support – the calm expertise that restores control when others roll off
   

Steve’s clients describe him as pragmatic, grounded, and relentlessly clear, a steady partner who bridges the gap between finance and IT, ensuring every design decision ties back to real business outcomes.
