Industries · Multi-company groups
Run Each Entity on Its Own Books. See the Group as One Business.
For groups with several companies, branches and locations: each entity keeps its own books and tax registrations, inter-company transactions post on both sides, and management sees branch and group views.
What Gets in the Way
- Group CFOConsolidation by spreadsheet
Each company closes on its own and the group view is assembled by hand.
- Finance controllerInter-company mismatches
A sale in one company and the purchase in another rarely agree at month-end.
- Business ownerBranches hidden in totals
A strong branch can mask a weak one in the combined numbers.
