Group-level visibility and consolidated reporting.
For businesses with multiple legal entities, divisions, or franchises, we provide consolidated financial reporting. We reconcile inter-company transactions, eliminate duplicates, and provide both entity-level and group-level views of your financial position.
Multi-entity consolidation is the process of combining the financial records of several related companies, divisions or franchises into a single set of group accounts, with transactions between those entities reconciled and eliminated so the group's overall position is not overstated. It’s one function of Bookkeeping within your Finance Hub , part of a connected back office.
Common problems we solve
Each entity reports on its own and there is no reliable consolidated view of the group
Transactions between your own companies distort the totals and overstate group profit
Entities have different year-ends, making it hard to produce a clean group position
Year-end consolidation is a manual, error-prone reconstruction every time
Here's what you receive
Entity & Group Reporting
Reports at both individual-entity and consolidated-group level, so you see each part of the business and the whole at once.
Inter-Company Reconciliation
Transactions between your entities identified, documented, and reconciled so internal dealings are accounted for correctly.
Elimination Entries
Internal balances and profits removed in consolidation so the group position reflects genuine external activity, not money moving between your own companies.
Consistent Treatment
Consolidation prepared at the date you specify, handling entities with different year-ends and a consistent approach across the group.
Entity-Level Accountability
Detail retained for each entity so individual performance stays visible and managers can be held to their own numbers.
Simplified Year-End
Consolidation maintained through the year so year-end is a routine close rather than a manual reconstruction.
How it works
When a business grows into several legal entities, divisions, or franchises, each one keeps its own books, but the owner still needs to see the group as a whole. Multi-entity consolidation brings those separate sets of records together into a single, accurate picture while preserving the detail of each entity underneath. The complication is that entities trade with each other: one company invoices another, money moves between them, profits are shared. Left in, those internal transactions overstate the group's real position. We reconcile the transactions between your entities, eliminate the internal balances and profits, and produce both entity-level and consolidated group reporting. You get individual accountability for each part of the business alongside a true view of overall performance, and year-end consolidation becomes a routine step rather than a manual reconstruction.
