If your company has subsidiaries or associates, then group accounting or consolidation is a necessary part of your monthly accounting process. However, it’s never easy.
Intricate eliminations, challenging minority interest calculations and a web of spreadsheets can often leave you feeling overwhelmed. Imagine instead, having more time to interact with your business adding value, rather than collecting and processing data and maintaining spreadsheets.

It also helps finance teams deliver financial results, create informative financial and management reports and provide the chief financial officer (CFO) with an enterprise view of key financial ratios and metrics.
