One instance or separate instances per entity?

One instance with proper entity structure is usually better for consolidation and shared master data. Separate instances are justified by regulatory isolation or genuinely divergent operations.

Why do intercompany balances not agree?

Because transactions are entered independently in each entity. Automated intercompany posting with matching removes the reconciliation effort rather than managing it.

How does a multi-company & multi-branch management engagement start?

With a short discovery conversation and a written view of scope, risk and the decisions to be made. That view is useful to you whether or not the work continues.

How is a multi-company & multi-branch management engagement priced?

Scope and, where relevant, rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any work begins, and the engagement is a fixed fee for that scope or phased with a cost envelope per phase — so you know the cost and the boundaries up front. Larger pieces of work are broken into phases with findings delivered early rather than a single invoice at the end.

Multi-Company & Multi-Branch Management

We design multi-entity ERP structures so that intercompany processing, currency and consolidation are handled within the system rather than patched together afterwards. Entity, branch and dimension structures are designed to serve statutory and management needs together, so the same data supports both. Intercompany transactions, matching and elimination are automated, which removes the reconciliation effort rather than merely organising it. Consolidation is designed in, and local statutory requirements are accommodated, so group reporting is produced from the ledger instead of rebuilt in spreadsheets each close.

In short

Multi-company and multi-branch management handles several legal entities, locations and currencies within one ERP. Handled properly, group reporting comes out of the system; handled poorly, it is reassembled in spreadsheets every period while intercompany balances refuse to agree.

What we do

The work inside multi-company & multi-branch management.

Entity and branch structure

We design entity, branch and dimension structures that serve statutory filing and management reporting from the same foundation. A structure built for both at the outset is what lets new entities be set up in days rather than months.

Intercompany processing

We automate intercompany transactions, matching and elimination, so balances agree because they were posted together rather than reconciled afterwards. This removes the recurring effort of chasing intercompany differences at each close.

Multi-currency handling

We configure currencies, revaluation and translation consistently, so exchange effects are handled by the system on a defined basis. Consistent treatment is what keeps multi-currency results comparable and defensible across periods.

Consolidation and local compliance

We design consolidation to run from the ledger while accommodating each location's statutory requirements. Building both in from the start is what keeps group reporting out of spreadsheets without compromising local compliance.

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

01
Discover
Understand the business drivers, decision rights, existing systems, and what the programme must genuinely change. We separate the outcomes that justify the investment from features that only sound useful, so the programme has a purpose to steer by.
02
Assess
Review process, data, integration, controls, governance, and change readiness against the plan. We report plainly where the plan holds and where it depends on assumptions that need evidence before commitment.
03
Design
Set out target processes, control requirements, data approach, integration model, and adoption plan. Each is documented well enough to build to and to hold a delivery partner accountable against.
04
Deliver
Support configuration, testing, cutover, and stabilisation, with independent oversight throughout. We hold the line on scope, data readiness, and controls, and surface drift while there is still time to correct it.

ERP Data Migration

ERP data migration moves master and transactional data into the new system with cleansing, validation and reconciliation. It is where go-lives most often fail, which is why it deserves to be run as a workstream with a business owner rather than handled as a technical afterthought.

ERP Testing & Quality Assurance

ERP testing and quality assurance verifies that configuration, integrations and processes work end to end before go-live. It is the discipline most often compressed to protect a date, which is precisely why the exceptions it should catch instead surface in production.

ERP Support & Maintenance

ERP support and maintenance keeps the system running and improving after go-live, under defined service levels. Good support is distinguished by falling incident volume: recurring issues are fixed at the cause rather than resolved, politely, for the tenth time.
