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.

Eliminate intercompany headaches with automated matching and balancing.

This use case focuses on automating the reconciliation of intercompany transactions and balances across entities. It benefits Group Accountants and Controllers in organizations where subsidiaries regularly trade with each other (lending, selling goods, cross-charging expenses, etc.). Instead of juggling spreadsheets to match due-to and due-from entries or intercompany sales and purchases, the system automatically identifies mismatches and posts eliminations. The finance team gains a clear, real-time view of intercompany out-of-balances and can ensure the consolidated financials are free of double-counted revenue or expense. A veteran controller will appreciate how this frees them from the "reconciliation death loop" and ensures no intercompany difference slips through to the consolidated statements.

What Keboola does

What Keboola actually delivers.

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

01

Auto-Matching & Instant Clearing

Keboola's platform automatically matches intercompany transactions (receivables vs payables, revenues vs expenses) using configurable rules (by entity, amount, document number, etc.). Mismatches are flagged in real-time.

02

Real-Time Intercompany Matrix

The use case delivers a live intercompany reconciliation report. Controllers can see an intercompany matrix that shows, for example, Entity A owes Entity B $X while B reports $Y – highlighting discrepancies immediately.

03

Automated Eliminating Entries

When it's time to consolidate, Keboola auto-generates eliminating journal entries for intercompany revenue, COGS, loans, or investments according to your accounting rules. This ensures that internal profits or balances don't overstate the group results.

04

Faster Close & Better Accuracy

By removing the intercompany bottleneck, companies have seen close cycles shrink significantly. Finance teams avoid those late-night sessions hunting for a $100 imbalance.

Tangible deliverables

What lands in your team's hands.

Each role gets the format and the detail they need — already configured. Not slideware.

Questions & answers

Things people always ask.

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

A: Yes. Keboola can reconcile one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. For example, if three subsidiaries jointly fund a project and each books a portion, the platform can group those transactions. It uses identifiers or configurable matching logic (like a project code or agreement number) to link related entries. This goes beyond simple one-to-one invoice matching – it covers allocations and multi-party transactions as well.
A: The platform can flag any discrepancies and can be set to either automatically adjust minor differences (according to tolerance rules you set) or alert responsible accountants for manual resolution. It provides a clear list of exceptions. Accountants from each side can input corrections which flow back to source systems or make adjusting entries in Keboola's consolidation layer. Essentially, it shines a light on the issue and gives you tools to correct it, rather than leaving it hidden until an audit.
Keboola can pull data from and push data to your ERP if needed. If you already use an ERP's intercompany module, Keboola can consume that data to include in the consolidation. Conversely, if you prefer, Keboola can become the primary reconciliation tool and then feed adjusting entries back into your GL. It's flexible – some clients let Keboola handle all intercompany eliminations in the data platform, while others use it as a monitoring layer on top of existing processes. Either way, it will enhance accuracy and control.
