One reporting layer across more than twenty portfolio companies.

A private equity group consolidated more than twenty portfolio companies by hand each month, each on its own ERP. One reporting layer with anomaly detection now produces board-ready reports in minutes and surfaces cash-flow risks three weeks earlier.

01A portfolio growing faster than its close

Each of the more than twenty companies ran its own ERP and chart of accounts. Every month, central finance chased exports and rebuilt a workbook only a few people understood, adding a tab with each acquisition. Cash positions showed after month-end, so a liquidity problem could reach the board pack before anyone could act.

02Pipelines, a warehouse and rules in code

Each company stays on its ERP. Scheduled pipelines load ledgers, balances and cash positions into one central warehouse, where account mapping, currency conversion and consolidation run as versioned code. An anomaly model checks every figure against the company's history and its peers. It only flags: a person confirms the figure or has it fixed in the source ledger, never in the warehouse.

03What the group has now

Board-ready reports take minutes, and cash-flow risks surface three weeks earlier, while portfolio CFOs still have time to act. Every consolidated figure traces back to its ledger line. A new company is one more pipeline and mapping, not another workbook tab.
