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

"

Our LCP was 4.8 seconds and Google was punishing us for it. They audited the build, dumped two plugins we did not need, moved hero images to a real CDN, and rewrote the critical CSS. LCP came down to 1.6 seconds within three weeks. Bounce rate on the pricing page dropped by a quarter without us touching the copy.

My books were 90 days behind and I was avoiding my accountant. They cleaned up nine months of mis-categorized Shopify and Stripe entries, set up proper rules in QuickBooks, and now my close lands on day four of every month. First time in three years I opened a P&L without wincing. Cash forecasting actually makes sense now.
