Financial planning is complex. Add cross-border operations, differing general ledgers, currency conversion, and more, and you have an almost impossible task.

Consolidate entities

Convert actuals to a unified currency at import, consolidate across entities, and eliminate inter-company transactions. Create a template, deploy it across units, and scale your model for future growth.

FAQ

Feel free to contact us if you have other questions.

Can I connect multiple different accounting systems?

Francis allows you to integrate with different accounting systems. You can create custom mappings between general ledgers from different systems. Just connect all your systems, and the general ledgers from each will be accessible within Francis.

What if my entities have different general ledger structures?

When you connect your accounting systems, Francis automatically imports your general ledgers into the platform. This allows you to define custom mappings between entities, accommodating any differences in general ledger structures.

How does Francis handle currency conversions?

If your entities operate with different base currencies, you can convert all entities to a common currency during import. You have the flexibility to specify the exchange rates used for these conversions.

How do I consolidate actuals across different entities?

After connecting the accounting systems for your entities, their general ledgers will be available in Francis. To consolidate actuals across entities, you’ll need to define a custom mapping to unify the general ledgers. Once this mapping is complete, you can start creating entity-specific plans.

How many entities can I connect?

You can connect as many entities as you like. However, the number of active connections may affect your pricing. Please refer to our plans for more information.

Can I include business data from other tools?

Yes, you can import historical business data via our Google Sheets integration. If you have specific integration requests, please contact us at support@francis.app.
