FAQ

Consolidation & close, answered.

What is consolidation and close in FP&A?

It is the work of combining data from every entity and system into one set of books, reconciling it, and closing the period. Cube runs this on one governed model with a full audit trail.

What is the best consolidation and close software?

The best fit connects to every ERP and entity, automates mapping and reconciliation, and keeps an audit trail on every number. Cube does this for finance teams at thousands of companies.

What should you look for in consolidation and close software?

Look for multi-entity and multi-currency support, automated mapping, reconciliation workflows, intercompany handling, permissions, and a complete audit trail.

Does Cube support multiple entities and currencies?

Yes. Cube maps every entity and currency into one model and handles conversion and roll-ups.

Can Cube connect to more than one ERP?

Yes. Cube connects multiple ERPs and other sources and reconciles them into one set of books.

How does Cube help the close?

Close tasks, reconciliations, and sign-offs run in one place with owners and status, so the team can see what is left.

Is there an audit trail?

Yes. Every edit, sync, and publish is logged, and every figure traces back to its source transaction.

What does the Data Manager agent do?

The Data Manager keeps data clean and AI-ready, and proposes mapping changes for finance to approve.

Who can see consolidated numbers?

Permissions are set once in Cube and follow every report, export, and AI answer.

What is financial consolidation?

Financial consolidation combines the results of multiple entities into one set of financial statements, with intercompany activity removed. See the data consolidation page.

What is the month-end close process?

The close is the set of tasks finance completes after each period to finalize the books, including reconciliations, accruals, and review. See the financial close page.

What are intercompany eliminations?

They remove transactions between entities of the same company so the consolidated results show only activity with outside parties. Cube handles these as part of consolidation.

How long should a month-end close take?

It depends on the number of entities and systems, but many teams aim to close in under ten business days. Clear tasks, owners, and clean data shorten it.

What is data governance in finance?

It is the set of controls over who can see and change financial data, plus a record of every change. See the data governance page.

Why does an audit trail matter?

Auditors, boards, and regulators need to see where a number came from and who changed it. Cube logs every edit, sync, and publish and traces each figure to its source.

How do you consolidate data from multiple ERPs?

Map each ERP’s chart of accounts to one standard structure, reconcile the results, and keep the mappings governed. Cube connects to each ERP and maintains these mappings.

How does Cube handle multiple currencies?

Cube converts entity results at the rates you set and keeps both local and reporting currency views.

What is a chart of accounts mapping?

It matches each account in a source system to the standard account structure used for reporting, so data from different systems lines up.

Can the close be automated?

Parts of it can, including data collection, mapping, reconciliations, and reporting. People still review and sign off. Cube automates the assembly and keeps the sign-off in one place.

How does Cube keep consolidated data secure?

Permissions follow every report, export, and AI answer, and the platform is built for enterprise security. Read more on the security page.

Who uses consolidation and close software?

Controllers, accounting teams, and FP&A teams at multi-entity companies, plus CFOs who need one trusted set of numbers.

Learn

A guide to financial consolidation and close.

Consolidation and close is how finance turns many sets of books into one trusted set of numbers at the end of each period.

The work includes collecting data from every entity and system, mapping accounts, converting currencies, removing intercompany activity, reconciling, and signing off.

Combine

Consolidation

Every entity and system rolled up into one set of financials.

Finalize

Month-end close

Reconciliations, accruals, review, and sign-off each period.

Control

Data governance

Who can see and change which numbers, set once and enforced everywhere.

Prove

Audit trail

A record of every edit, sync, and publish, traced to its source.

Why consolidation and close matters

Every report, plan, and board deck depends on the closed numbers. A slow or error-prone close delays everything downstream and puts audits at risk. A clean, governed close gives the whole company one set of books to work from.

How to run consolidation and close in Cube

Most multi-entity teams follow these steps each period.

  1. 1.
    Connect every entity. Sync each ERP and source system into Cube.
  2. 2.

  3. 3.
    Convert and eliminate. Apply FX rates and remove intercompany transactions.
  4. 4.
    Reconcile and review. Run reconciliations with owners, status, and comments in one place.
  5. 5.
    Sign off and report. Approve the close and publish one set of numbers, with the audit trail attached.
