When does the group need a dedicated reporting layer?

The need often appears when month-end depends on manual exports, when several entities use different charts of accounts or dimensions, or when the CFO has to explain deviations faster than the Excel process allows.

Sumledger brings the numbers into one shared model, so finance can work with reporting, consolidation and control without turning the subsidiaries' local systems into one large ERP project.
