Agree the chart first
Consolidation is straightforward when entities share a consistent chart of accounts and cut-off discipline. Most reporting difficulty originates before the consolidation step.
Separate group and entity questions
Boards need a group position; managers need their own entity. Producing both from one dataset avoids competing versions of performance.
Automate the routine
Recurring adjustments and intercompany entries should be standardised so the monthly cycle is repeatable rather than rebuilt each period.
