Consolidation & Inter-company Accounting

Overview

What we deliver

We build consolidation models, eliminate intercompany balances, and produce group financials under US GAAP, IFRS, and UK FRS.

We help finance teams run accurate group consolidation across legal entities, currencies, and reporting frameworks. Our work covers acquisition method accounting, equity method investments, and proportionate consolidation where applicable. We design intercompany matrices that match revenue, expenses, receivables, payables, and loans across entities. We build elimination journals and document the supporting workpapers for auditors and SEC, HMRC, CRA, or ATO filings. For ASC 810 and IFRS 10, we walk through control assessments and variable interest entity considerations. We configure consolidation tools such as OneStream, Workiva, or NetSuite OneWorld and reconcile outputs to local trial balances. We help with non-controlling interest schedules, goodwill rollforwards, and segment disclosures. We document the process so the next consolidation cycle is shorter and cleaner. Training and runbooks make the routine repeatable for in-house controllers and group reporting teams.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Holiday season was about to break us. We needed 22 agents in six weeks and our internal hiring pipeline could not move that fast. They staffed it, trained on our tone guide, and ran nesting alongside our senior reps. CSAT actually went up by three points during peak. First Q4 in four years my support lead took her vacation.

Two weeks before our seed round we still did not have a defensible model. Their fractional CFO rebuilt our three-statement forecast, pressure-tested the assumptions, and walked me through every line before the partner meeting. We closed 1.4M on the terms we wanted. The investor specifically called out how clean the financials looked compared to the last five decks she had seen.
