Close in Days, Not Weeks: A Live JustPerform Consolidation Walkthrough

Group consolidation takes longer than it should. The close cycle ends when every entity has submitted, every intercompany balance is reconciled, every elimination has been posted – and none of that happens automatically. Controllers follow up with subsidiaries by email. Intercompany differences get resolved in spreadsheets. Currency translation gets done manually for entities on non-standard rates. By the time the consolidated package is ready, the board meeting it was built for is already rescheduled. JustPerform compresses the group close by handling the consolidation workflow in one place – from entity data collection through automated eliminations to group reporting output. In this opening session, Nicolas Wykes frames where consolidation time goes for EMEA group finance teams, then demonstrates live how JustPerform runs the end-to-end process. Not a slide deck overview. A working system, live. In this 20-minute walkthrough, you’ll see:

• The consolidation dashboard: every entity’s submission status in real time – which books are closed, which are still open, where the bottleneck is. No email chains, no spreadsheet trackers

• Automated entity data collection: JustPerform pulls actuals directly from connected ERPs and accounting systems -over 80 integrations, including SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics – without manual data preparation or CSV exports

• Automated intercompany elimination: matching rules eliminate intercompany transactions across entities in minutes. Differences are surfaced automatically with the relevant entity pairing, not discovered at 11pm on day five

• Currency translation built in: every entity’s local currency converted using configured exchange rates -consistent, auditable, no separate spreadsheet process running in parallel

• Group reporting output: once eliminations are complete, consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements generated directly from the platform -no offline assembly, no version control risk

A Fortune 500 company with 75 entities across 30 countries reduced their consolidation from 12 days to 3 using JustPerform. In 20 minutes, you’ll see why. Drop questions in the chat – Nicolas will take them in the final three minutes.
