Consolidation & Group Reporting

A group close that gets days shorter. Not merely more digital.

What it's about

One close, one data basis

A fast close is not created at month end. It is created in the weeks before.

‍

SEM-BCS, EC-CS, BFC, Hyperion: your consolidation delivers reliably. It is visibly ageing, though – maintenance-heavy and dependent on a few individuals.
‍

We assess your solution on a technology-neutral basis and build the target architecture that fits your group. Where S/4HANA Group Reporting is convincing, consolidation reads from the same Universal Journal as the single-entity close. No overnight interface runs. No two truths.
‍

And with Continuous Accounting we take days out of your close.

Your challenges

Why the close starts to slip

  • Specialist knowledge is becoming scarce
    SEM-BCS and EC-CS often rest on a handful of people. If one of them is unavailable, the close becomes a question of individuals.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: knowledge anchored in the team – documented, trained, handed over.

  • Two truths in the close
    Legal and management consolidation on separate data bases create rounds of reconciliation that nobody needs.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: one source, two views.

  • BFC reaches end of life in 2030
    Decide only in 2029 and you decide under pressure. And usually at a higher cost than necessary.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: decide properly now, implement calmly.

Our promise

What you gain

A target architecture your close team can carry – and a close process that becomes plannable.

  • Fast Close. Gain days through continuous intercompany reconciliation instead of a marathon at month end.
  • One source, no debate. Legal and management view from the same data basis.
  • Multi-GAAP, secure and transparent. IFRS, HGB, US-GAAP and Swiss GAAP FER in parallel, including reconciliations and segment reporting.
  • Documented to audit standard. Every figure traceable down to the source document. That shortens the audit as well.
  • Advice without self-interest. We recommend the target system that fits your close. Even when it is not the obvious one.
  • Commitment to the closing date. A group close knows no buffer. That is exactly how we plan.
How we work

Triple Excellence for your project

  • Strategic Excellence‍

    Baseline analysis and a technology-neutral target architecture, backed by effort, benefit and business case. We recommend what fits your close – not what is in the product catalogue.

  • Technological Excellence‍

    Group Reporting in the Universal Journal, consolidation rules, currency translation, multi-GAAP. Tailored by architects who have been responsible for group closes themselves.

  • Operational Excellence‍

    We work inside the close rather than standing beside it. Dry runs supported, logic documented, handover only once your team runs the process with confidence.
