Financial Close and Consolidation Solutions

Financial close and consolidation solutions leverage AI-driven automation, ensure compliance and enhance collaboration during group close, consolidation and financial reporting. CFOs can use these findings to evaluate vendors that fit their accounting transformation strategies.

Market Definition

Gartner defines financial close and consolidation solutions (FCCS) as tools that help CFOsmanage group close, consolidation, and reporting. FCCS enables organizations to (1)manage financial close with collaborative, auditable workflows and dashboards, (2)consolidate financials across multiple legal entities and geographies, (3) comply with accounting standards for currency translation, intercompany elimination, and adjustments, and (4) generate reports meeting generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and regional requirements.

CFO and their teams are increasingly challenged by the growing complexity of organizational structures, stricter financial regulations, multiple systems of record, and hybrid or remote work models. These factors impact their ability to deliver a compliant, efficient, and collaborative consolidation process. The FCCS market enables finance teams to manage and execute their group close activity with a centralized cloud-based application that leverages machine learning and AI to optimize performance.

Finance teams typically use these solutions across three business challenges: (1) assist with the goal of a more efficient controllership function; (2) support the increasingly regulated environment, enabling teams to reach compliance faster; or (3) simplify complex environments in which they operate. The solutions reduce risk and redundancy in the consolidation process, achieve faster group close times, and generate compliant financial statements for external and management reporting.
