The platform
A platform connected to the systems you already run
Reporting, FP&A, and consolidation in one tool, plugged into your ERPs and your operational sources. Nothing upstream is replaced: the platform sits in between, applies your rules, and reports out.
The data journey
One collection point, and the whole group reads the same figures
The platform connects to every system used by finance, accounting, and operations. Nothing upstream is replaced: the data is collected, checked, reconciled, and approved there — then distributed, in each audience’s own working format.
Data sources
- ERP and core systemsWhatever they are, and without replacing any of them
- Finance and accountingGeneral ledger, management reporting, budgets
- Operational dataSupply chain, customer relationships, production
- Human resourcesPayroll and headcount
- External sourcesMarket data, non-financial, regulatory
The single collection point for operational and financial data, checked, reconciled, and approved.
- Schedule and automate
- Collect, index, version
- Check consistency and reconcile
- Transform and calculate
- Consolidate
- Organize approvals
Distribution across the group
- DashboardsInteractive, open to whoever needs to read them
- PresentationsPowerPoint add-in, refreshed in one click
- Working filesExcel add-in and data made available by API
- Visualization toolsThe ones already in use, fed from the platform
- APIs and exportsTo third-party applications and data lake environments
Connecting to your systems
Compatible with every ERP on the market
The connection is established from existing extracts or access, with no custom development. Three modes are possible depending on what your system allows, and the choice is made source by source.
OAuth service account
The most direct mode when your system exposes an API: a dedicated account, read rights, and the data comes up without anyone stepping in.
Automated extraction robot
For systems with no usable API: the extraction is scheduled and replayed every period, always in the same format.
Manual import of extracts
When automated access is not possible or not wanted: your teams drop in the usual extract, and the platform checks it and integrates it.
Whichever mode is used, the mapping between your charts of accounts and the group source of truth is maintained in one place. None of these modes requires changing your systems or having anything developed in them, and one organization often combines all three, depending on what each entity can open up.
Consolidation by level
A statutory and analytical consolidation engine, recalculated on the fly
Intermediate levels are not frozen exports. Eliminations and adjustments are handled level by level and recalculated as soon as an entity reports an entry — which gives the consolidation a business meaning, and not just a sum.
The group consolidation scope contains the holding company and two division scopes. Division 1 consolidates entities A and B; division 2 consolidates entities C, D, and E.
What happens at each level
- At the group level
- Top-side consolidation entries are applied, and intercompany flows between divisions are eliminated.
- At each division level
- Intercompany flows between the entities of each scope are eliminated — A and B on one side; C, D, and E on the other. Each scope then has its own adjustments applied — consolidation, non-recurring items, and pro forma.
- As each entity reports up
- Currency conversion, integrity checks, and reconciliation, before any aggregation.
A business view: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement
- Intercompany eliminations are recalculated on the fly and adjustments applied level by level, however many sub-levels there are — on statutory figures as on analytical ones
- Every intermediate level reads as a single entity: its profitability and its margins, with no manual reconstruction
- A division head has their real contribution within the bounds of their own scope, with the robustness of consolidated figures
Immediate scope simulations
- Several consolidation structures coexist on the same source of truth
- Reorganizations, with or without entities entering and leaving scope, are replayed without altering actuals
Time saved, and one rework fewer
- Levels are created and reorganized by drag and drop
- No elimination entry to reformat, no recalculation to launch: the result follows the structure
Office integration
From the platform to the document, with no re-entry
Your teams already work in Excel and PowerPoint. The point is not to move them out of it: it is to remove the re-entry between the platform and those files, and the discrepancies it produces.

The platform is one of three components
The value of a reporting tool comes from what is configured inside it and from the teams who do that work: both come with it. The setup says who configures what, on what timeline, and what is expected from your side; FP&A support, which is optional, says what else you can hand over, on the day it is useful.
