“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
QuickBooks lacks native consolidation reporting across multiple company files. You’re manually aggregating data from different entities every quarter, creating consolidated reports through time-intensive manual processes.
Here’s how to automatically pull multi-entity QuickBooks data into unified consolidated quarterly reports with proper aggregation and elimination entries.
Enable multi-entity consolidation using Coefficient
Coefficient provides robust multi-entity consolidation capabilities for QuickBooks data. This addresses QuickBooks’ critical limitation where consolidation reporting requires manual aggregation across multiple company files.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect multiple QuickBooks entities.
Coefficient supports multi-company access within a single QuickBooks account, enabling consolidated financial data sync from multiple entities. Set up connections to parent company and subsidiary data sources for unified quarterly reporting.
Step 2. Set up simultaneous imports from all entities.
Configure parallel data imports including parent company and subsidiary P&L statements, multi-location balance sheet data, consolidated cash flow from all entities, and inter-company transaction details for elimination entries. All data imports on the same schedule for consistency.
Step 3. Create automated consolidation workflows.
Build dynamic consolidation templates with automatic summation of revenue across entities, expense consolidation by category, balance sheet aggregation with elimination adjustments, and cash flow consolidation for group-level analysis. Templates update automatically as entity data refreshes.
Step 4. Apply entity-specific filtering for complex structures.
Use Coefficient’s advanced filtering to manage organizational complexity by filtering by entity, department, or class codes, creating separate reporting for different business segments, applying custom field filtering for consolidation groupings, and maintaining date range consistency across all entities.
Step 5. Schedule synchronized consolidation updates.
Maintain current consolidated reports through synchronized refresh schedules across all entities, quarterly consolidation timing for investor updates, and real-time consolidation capabilities for management reporting needs.
Step 6. Build professional consolidation formatting.
Create investor-ready consolidated reports with combined financial statements showing entity detail, segment reporting and analysis, inter-company elimination tracking, and consolidated KPI dashboards and metrics.
Step 7. Enable error handling for complex consolidations.
Built-in validation ensures consolidation accuracy through data completeness checks across entities, inter-company balance verification, and consolidation reconciliation capabilities.
Enterprise-level consolidation without expensive software
Multi-entity consolidation enables sophisticated quarterly reporting that would otherwise require expensive consolidation software or extensive manual processes. You get enterprise-level financial dashboards through enhanced QuickBooks automation. Start consolidating your multi-entity reporting today.
