ABOUT CLOUD SPEC
A CPA who configures Workday.
Cloud Spec is a CPA-led Workday consulting practice specializing in Financials, Reporting & Analytics, and Workday Operations. Founded by Kevin Bubar, CPA.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Kevin Bubar, CPA
Cloud Spec was built on a simple observation: most Workday Financials problems are finance problems first and system problems second.
Kevin isn't a systems consultant who learned enough finance to be dangerous. He's a CPA who has managed financial operations from the inside and brings that depth into Workday configuration. He has spent years inside Workday tenants, optimizing month-end close, building the reports Controllers need, and sitting in the audits.
That combination is what makes Cloud Spec's advice different. Every configuration decision is grounded in accounting logic. Every recommendation is honest about what Workday can and can't do.
WHY CLOUD SPEC
Four commitments that shape every engagement.
Knowledge transfer, not dependency.
Every engagement is designed so your team owns the outcome. We document, train, and transfer knowledge throughout the project, not as an afterthought at the end. When Cloud Spec leaves, your people are more capable than when we arrived.
Finance-first, Workday-fluent.
We understand accruals, allocations, intercompany, month-end close, and financial reporting requirements before we touch a configuration. You won't spend budget teaching us how your finance team operates.
Senior-level, every engagement.
The person on the scoping call is the person you work with. No project managers relaying messages. No junior consultants learning Workday on your dime. Every hour billed is senior-level expertise applied directly to your environment.
From go-live to getting it right.
Most Workday engagements end at go-live. Cloud Spec starts where others leave off: optimizing configuration, building the reports finance actually needs, and cleaning up what the implementation partner left behind.
HOW WE WORK
Every engagement follows the same discipline.
Whether Cloud Spec is embedded on your team or delivering a scoped project, the approach stays consistent. Understand the business first, configure Workday second, and make sure your team can carry it forward.
Understand
Start with the business problem, not the system. Map current processes, identify gaps, and define what "working well" looks like for your team.
Configure
Build or optimize Workday to match how your finance team actually operates. Document every decision so the "why" is never lost.
Transfer
Train your team on what was built and why. Hand over documentation, walk through configurations, and make sure your people own the system when we leave.
THE PRACTICE
Built for companies running Workday.
Cloud Spec works with companies running Workday, from mid-implementation to post-go-live optimization. Whether embedded on a client team as a staff augmentation resource or delivering a scoped project, Cloud Spec brings the rare combination of deep finance and accounting expertise and hands-on Workday configuration.
Every engagement is designed around knowledge transfer. When Cloud Spec leaves, the team is ready to own Workday.
