I help organizations get the most out of SAP's finance and controlling ecosystem — from core FI/CO configuration to group consolidation and analytics. Hands-on, senior-level, no overhead.
About
I'm Othmar Steinbauer, an independent consultant specializing in SAP finance and controlling solutions. Working directly with clients — no layers, no handoffs — means you get senior expertise from day one.
My focus spans the full breadth of SAP's finance stack: core FI/CO, group reporting and consolidation (SAP BCS/SEM-BCS, Group Reporting), analytics and planning (SAP Analytics Cloud, BW), and the journey to S/4HANA Finance. I'm also building out OneStream capabilities for clients exploring alternatives.

Working with me
No sales teams, no junior consultants, no project padding. You work directly with me.
As an independent consultant, there's no bait-and-switch. The person in the proposal meeting is the person doing the work.
I focus on solutions that work in your real environment — not textbook scenarios. Configuration, not just concepts.
Whether you need a week of focused troubleshooting or months of project support — I scale to what the work actually requires.
Having worked across FI/CO, consolidation, analytics, and now OneStream, I see how the pieces fit together — and where they don't.
Whether you have a specific challenge or want to explore how I can help — the best starting point is a conversation.
