Excel Based Automated Consolidation
System-level discipline within Excel — bringing robust automation, governance, and financial integrity to group consolidation.
Built on Deep Specialist Experience
We have designed the consolidation model drawing on extensive experience across both specialist consolidation systems — including Tagetik, Hyperion, SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting, and SAP BPC — as well as complex Excel-based consolidation environments. We possess first-hand knowledge of the operational, technical, and governance challenges involved in preparing group financial results within both system-driven and spreadsheet-based frameworks.
Drawing on this experience, the Excel-based consolidation model has been developed using a structured and professional methodology. It is built on the principle that Excel can effectively support consolidation for small- to mid-sized groups — provided it is properly architected with robust automation, standardised reporting structures, controlled FX translation logic, disciplined intercompany elimination processes, and embedded financial integrity checks.
Our Approach
Our approach introduces system-level discipline within Excel by embedding automation, standardisation, FX translation logic, intercompany elimination controls, and a transparent audit trail. The objective is to reduce reporting risk, accelerate the month-end close process, strengthen governance, and enable finance teams to focus on analysis and value-added insight rather than spreadsheet management.
Automation
Automated workflows replace time-consuming manual processes, reducing errors and freeing up analyst capacity.
Standardisation
Uniform reporting structures across entities ensure consistency, comparability, and audit readiness.
FX Translation Logic
Controlled, transparent currency translation logic embedded directly into the model architecture.
Intercompany Eliminations
Disciplined intercompany elimination processes that proactively address differences and mismatches.
Audit Trail
A transparent, documented trail enabling reviewers and auditors to trace every figure back to its source.
Financial Integrity Checks
Embedded validation and integrity checks that flag anomalies before they reach group-level reporting.
