CROSS-BORDER·Part of the fractional CFO scope

Cross-border and multi-entity

The group grew one entity at a time and the finance function never caught up. Two sets of books, two advisers, two charts of accounts, and a consolidation assembled by hand in a spreadsheet that one person understands.

How we run it
01 / 05

In the order we do it.

Intercompany balances have not agreed in four periods and the difference gets plugged. Currency translation is done at whatever rate was handy. The lender stops believing the consolidated numbers, which is the moment this becomes urgent.

01ONE CHART, ONE CURRENCY

One chart of accounts and one reporting currency, with every entity mapping into it consistently. Eliminations automated and traceable to source, so a consolidated number can be walked back to the transaction that created it.

02INTERCOMPANY

Intercompany priced on purpose and documented — not because the auditor asks, but because an undocumented intercompany policy is a transfer pricing exposure sitting on the balance sheet. Currency exposure identified and, where it warrants it, hedged deliberately rather than by accident.

03YOUR LOCAL ADVISERS

Local advisers in each jurisdiction stay. We coordinate across them and own the boundary in writing, so nobody is doing the same work twice and nothing falls between them.

What changes
02 / 05

What you can do afterwards that you cannot do now.

01

Hand a consolidation to a lender without a covering explanation.

02

Close the group in the same time as a single entity.

03

Know where the currency exposure actually sits.

Who holds the seat
03 / 05

Your CFO does not do this alone.

Brought in for this, at no change to the fee.
