Managing multi-entity companies comes with inherent financial challenges. Each location, subsidiary, or operational entity has its own unique systems and processes with disparate data across multiple sources. Having consolidated financial reports is the key to effectively overseeing operations across entities.
Consolidated reports give owners insight into the financial status of each entity. These reports allow companies to see financial activity across each business segment or subsidiary. Performance can then be compared across entities, giving complete insight into a company’s overall financial state.
Consolidated reports give organizations financial information that can be shared with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders – empowering business owners to make strategic, data-driven decisions. However, consolidating reports can be a challenging and time consuming task.
The Challenges of Consolidating Reports
Building consolidated reports can be a cumbersome and tedious process. First, financial information often has to be collected from disparate data sources. Then, people then have to manually export several Excel reports before consolidating them into a single spreadsheet. This time intensive process has to be continually repeated as each new expense and income arises.
Let’s say a franchise owner has noticed lower sales from last quarter. They aren’t sure which location has decreased profitability, so they decide to dive into the organization’s financial statements. The problem is when something seems amiss, they can’t get to the root cause solely by reviewing Excel files and reports. The business owners have to manually open the ledger to identify problems. However, they aren’t able to drill down and review source documents. Instead they have to manually sift through invoices, checks, and receipts. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could simplify consolidated reporting? Automating multi-entity reporting processes can make life easier for business owners. That’s where Docyt comes in.
