Overview

What this use case actually does.

Plug into what you already run

Your ERP, CRM, planning tools, warehouse — connected without replacing anything.

Governed, not glued together

Versioned transformations, lineage, and audit trail — every number traces to source.

Live in 8 weeks, owned by your team

Not a black box — your team configures, extends, and runs it from week one.

Streamline multi-entity consolidation and cut the monthly close cycle in half.

This use case automates the aggregation of financial results across all subsidiaries and business units into unified, audit-ready statements. It's designed for Group Finance teams and CFOs overseeing complex organizations with multiple ERPs and charts of accounts. By replacing manual spreadsheet consolidations with an integrated data platform, finance leaders gain real-time visibility into group performance. The process delivers faster consolidated P&Ls, balance sheets, and cash flows for decision-making, ensuring that the CFO can confidently report accurate results to executives and the board without late nights or last-minute adjustments. Seasoned finance professionals recognize this as the backbone of timely corporate reporting and a prerequisite for strategic agility.

What Keboola does

What Keboola actually delivers.

No magic, no replatforming. Just connectors, governed transformations, and outputs your team owns from day one.

01

Automated Consolidation in Minutes

Keboola's platform integrates all entities' data and handles currency conversion, intercompany eliminations, and minority interest calculations automatically.

02

Single Source of Truth

A centralized data model harmonizes different ERP outputs into a consistent structure. This provides CFOs a certified view of performance across entities, eliminating the "multiple versions of the truth" problem.

03

Improved Data Quality & Auditability

With automated checks and data lineage, the consolidated results are transparent and error-free. Keboola ensures every adjustment or elimination has an audit trail.

04

Accelerated Decision Cycles

By freeing consolidation from manual drudgery, finance teams close 58% faster on average. Leadership gets timely reports and can make strategic decisions sooner.

Questions & answers

Things people always ask.

Everything your team, IT, and procurement will want to know — up front.

Implementation is typically iterative. With Keboola's pre-built connectors, many companies see initial consolidated reports within a few weeks. The platform's flexibility means you don't need to overhaul your ERPs – it adapts to your current systems. Most enterprise finance teams achieve a fully automated close in 2–3 months, significantly faster than traditional IT projects.
Keboola acts as a data hub, mapping each entity's chart of accounts to a unified group taxonomy. It can pull data from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and others, then standardize it. Local account codes and GAAP entries are preserved for entity-level detail, but the platform aligns them to group definitions for consolidation. This mapping is configurable and can evolve with your business (for example, if you add a new entity or change your accounting policies).
Absolutely. All consolidation steps in Keboola are logged and transparent. You can provide auditors with a clear trail from reported financial statements back to source transactions. The platform supports segregation of duties and permissions (so, for instance, only authorized personnel can adjust consolidation entries). Companies have found that after implementation, audit reviews go much smoother – one customer reported error rates dropping below 1% in their financials, boosting audit confidence.
