User Guide Chapter 9

9. Multi-Entity Consolidation

The Consolidation module combines several companies into a single group view — the CFO-level dashboard for businesses that own multiple entities. Open it from Modules → Consolidation.

  • Group list URL: /a/<team-slug>/consolidation/groups/
  • Requires the Consolidation module (offered as a premium add-on). Available to 👁️ Members (view) and 👤 Admins (set up & configure).

Consolidation works entirely from your already-synced financial data using deterministic, rule-based math. Eliminations and mappings are explicit, reviewable steps — nothing is guessed or auto-generated behind the scenes.


9.1 Set up a group 👤 Admin

  1. From the group list, click New group (/consolidation/groups/new/).
  2. In Entities (/consolidation/<group>/entities/), add the member companies (each is an existing connected Team).

  3. In Group Chart of Accounts (/consolidation/<group>/coa/), define the unified chart the group reports on.

  4. For each entity, open Mapping (/consolidation/<group>/mapping/<entity>/) and map that company's accounts to the group chart. You can save and reuse mapping templates.

Mapping is a manual, explicit step — you decide how each entity's accounts roll up.


9.2 Periods & reviews 👤 Admin

Consolidation is organized by accounting period:

  • Create periods under Periods (/consolidation/<group>/periods/).
  • Intercompany (IC) review (/consolidation/<group>/periods/<id>/ic-review/) — review transactions between group companies.

  • Elimination review (.../eliminations/) — confirm the intercompany eliminations applied for the period.

  • An audit log (/consolidation/<group>/audit-log/) records changes for transparency, and can be exported to CSV.


9.3 The group dashboard & statements

Once mapped, the group has its own full reporting surface:

View URL (relative to /a/<team>/consolidation/<group>) Shows
Dashboard /dashboard/ Group KPIs, alerts, and headline numbers.
Consolidated P&L /periods/<id>/pnl/ Combined income statement.
Consolidated Balance Sheet /periods/<id>/balance-sheet/ Combined balance sheet.

Cash trend / Cash forecast /cash-trend/, /cash-forecast/ Group cash history & projection.
Debt timeline /debt/ Group debt over time.
Scenarios /scenarios/ Group-level what-if scenarios.

You can drill down from consolidated figures into the contributing entities, and export statements to PDF.


9.4 Group alerts, filters & TV mode

  • Alerts flag group-level issues; tune them under Settings → Alerts (/consolidation/<group>/settings/alerts/). Dismiss or mark alerts seen from the dashboard.

  • Shared filters let you scope views by period and other dimensions.

  • TV mode (/consolidation/<group>/tv/) gives a boardroom display of the group.
  • CSV and PDF exports are available throughout for sharing with stakeholders.
