Multi-Entity Consolidation — unified financial reporting
Service 01 — Consolidation

One Financial Picture.
Across Every Entity You Own.

When your group grew, your reporting setup likely didn't keep pace. Delvane brings every entity into a single, consolidated view — so decisions at the top get made on numbers that actually reflect the whole.

All Services / Multi-Entity Consolidation
What This Delivers

Consolidated statements your board, investors, and lenders can work from — every reporting period.

Multi-Entity Consolidation is the service for groups that have outgrown pasting entity financials together in a spreadsheet. What you receive each period is a professionally prepared consolidated set — income statement, balance sheet, cash flow — with intercompany eliminations applied correctly and policies aligned across entities.

The outcome isn't just cleaner numbers. It's the confidence to walk into a lender meeting or board review with financial statements that hold up to scrutiny — because the work behind them was done properly, not approximated.

A unified financial view across all entities
One consolidated set that represents the group as a whole — not four separate exports waiting to be reconciled.
Intercompany transactions eliminated correctly
Every cross-entity transaction identified and removed from the consolidated view — no double-counting, no missed balances.
Minority interest calculated and disclosed
Where partial ownership exists, minority interest is computed and presented according to standard accounting treatment.
Accounting policies aligned across your group
Depreciation methods, revenue recognition, and other policies harmonized so the consolidated numbers are genuinely comparable.
The Situation

Most multi-entity groups are one audit away from discovering how fragile their consolidation actually is.

The spreadsheet that grew too large

What started as a simple tab-per-entity file has become something that takes three days to close and that nobody fully trusts anymore. Errors surface after the fact, and tracing them back takes hours.

Intercompany balances that never quite agree

Entity A shows a $30,000 receivable from Entity B. Entity B's payable is $28,400. Month after month, the gap sits unexplained. It's a quiet problem until a lender or auditor asks about it directly.

Policies set up independently, never reconciled

Each entity was set up at a different time, often with different accounting software and different people making the choices. Pulling them into a coherent group view now surfaces inconsistencies that weren't visible before.

These aren't signs of poor management — they're predictable outcomes of growing through acquisition or organic expansion without a consolidation framework in place from the beginning. The gap between where the reporting is now and where it needs to be is almost always bridgeable. It just requires a structured approach, not more spreadsheet columns.

The Approach

A consolidation framework built around how your specific group is structured.

There's no generic template that works for every multi-entity group. Ownership chains differ. Intercompany activity varies. Some entities operate under different accounting standards than others. The approach we take starts with understanding the structure before any framework is designed.

Once we have a clear map of your entities, their ownership relationships, and the transactions flowing between them, we build a consolidation structure that handles the recurring work methodically — so each period runs from the same reliable foundation, not a fresh attempt.

The deliverables are formatted for your needs — whether that's a board pack, a lender covenant report, or an internal management review. We adapt the output to fit where it needs to go.

What Gets Covered

All cross-entity transactions removed from the consolidated view, with supporting documentation for each entry.

Full consolidated financial statements
Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement prepared at the group level with supporting notes.
Consolidation workpapers
Structured workpapers showing the journey from entity trial balances to the consolidated output — audit-trail ready.
Formatted for your recipient
Output adapted to board pack, lender reporting, or internal management review format — as agreed at engagement start.
Working Together

From the first call to the first delivery — here's how the engagement actually runs.

01

Structure Review

We spend time understanding your entity map — legal ownership, intercompany flows, how each entity currently produces its numbers, and where the reporting gaps are most acute.

02

Framework Setup

We establish the consolidation workings — chart of accounts mapping, policy notes, intercompany matrix, and the recurring elimination schedule. This is built once and maintained through each period.

03

First Consolidation

The first period consolidation runs through a review cycle with you — we walk through the output, answer questions, and adjust presentation preferences before the format is locked in.

04

Ongoing Delivery

Each subsequent period, you receive the consolidated package by the agreed delivery date — consistently formatted, with a brief variance commentary if requested.

Investment

A fixed monthly fee for a consistently delivered consolidation.

Multi-Entity Consolidation is priced as a flat monthly engagement. There are no variable charges per entity and no surprise additions at reporting time. You know what the service costs from month one.

$1,800
/ month
Covers up to ten related legal entities within one consolidated group. Single billing, single point of contact.

If your group has more than ten entities, or if your structure involves multiple consolidation layers, we'll discuss scope and pricing before any engagement begins — no assumptions on either side.

Minority interest calculation and disclosure
Consolidation workpapers with clear audit trail
Accounting policy alignment notes
Output formatted for your board, lenders, or management team
Dedicated point of contact for queries and period review
Monthly or quarterly delivery schedule — as fits your calendar
How Progress Works

You'll see the difference within the first reporting period.

The immediate marker is straightforward: the consolidated package arrives on schedule, the intercompany balances agree, and the numbers are traceable back to source. That's the baseline — and it's one that should hold every period from that point forward.

Over the first three months, the framework stabilizes. Edge cases get resolved, any remaining policy misalignments get addressed, and the output settles into a format that your team actually uses rather than reformats.

At six months, the consolidation is running from a mature, documented structure. New entities can be brought in methodically. Auditor questions get answered from workpapers, not from memory.

Period 1 — Month 1
First consolidated package delivered
Reviewed jointly. Presentation preferences confirmed. Delivery cadence agreed.
Months 2–3
Framework fully established
Policy notes documented. Intercompany matrix finalized. Recurring eliminations running from a stable base.
Month 6 Onward
Mature, auditor-ready consolidation
Full workpaper trail in place. New entities onboarded into the existing structure without disruption.
Our Commitment

We take the consolidation seriously because your stakeholders do.

If the deliverable isn't at the standard you expected — and we mean verifiable technical issues, not subjective preferences — we address it before it becomes a problem for your reporting deadline. That's not a contractual promise written in fine print; it's how the service is actually run.

Before any engagement starts, we offer a straightforward initial review of your entity structure and current consolidation setup. No obligation, no cost. It gives us the context to tell you clearly whether and how this service fits — and gives you a basis to decide without pressure.

If partway through the engagement the scope changes — a new entity is acquired, reporting requirements shift — we discuss it openly and adjust without making the revision process unnecessarily complicated.

Delivery on the agreed date, every period

The consolidated package arrives when it's supposed to — not when the team gets around to it. If a period requires more time due to complexity, you're told in advance.

Technical accuracy you can trace

Every consolidated figure ties back to the source trial balances through the workpapers. There's no position in the financials that can't be explained and documented.

A free initial structure review — no strings attached

Get in touch and we'll review your entity map and current consolidation approach. We'll tell you honestly where the gaps are before any engagement is on the table.

Getting Started

Three steps from where you are now to your first consolidated package.

01

Send us your entity list

A simple outline of your entities — legal names, ownership percentages, and a rough sense of intercompany activity. No formal documentation needed at this stage.

Takes about 10 minutes
02

We review your structure

We'll review your current setup and get back to you within one business day with an assessment of what the consolidation scope looks like and any questions we have before proposing a start date.

Response within 1 business day
03

We agree on scope and start

Once scope is clear and agreed on both sides, onboarding begins. The framework setup typically takes two to three weeks before the first consolidated output is delivered.

First delivery in 3–5 weeks
Multi-Entity Consolidation — $1,800 / month

Your group financials should tell one clear story. Let's make sure they do.

If you're managing more than one entity and the month-end consolidation still involves manual reconciliation or spreadsheets you don't fully trust, it's worth having a conversation about what a properly structured consolidation would look like for your group.
