                  Close faster; know sooner

                  Our expertise comes from our research that is not found anywhere else in the industry. It can help you make consolidation and close management impactful to your organization. Consider these insights as you look to assess and improve your consolidate and close management efforts.

                  Definition

                  Consolidate and close management utilizes technology to complete the full accounting cycle including reconciliations, statutory consolidation, and regulatory reporting.

                  Research Fact

                  71% of companies that use substantial automation complete their close in 6 days or less, compared to 43% that use some and 23% that use little or none.

                  Best Practice

                  Companies must apply continuous improvement techniques to identify issues with closing and reporting, and quickly address their root cause.
