Consolidation

Every business you own, in one picture.

Intercompany balances matched to the dollar on both sides and cancelled automatically. One consolidated view of the group — drillable from any group line down to the single entity and transaction behind it.

The benefits

The spreadsheet goes away

Combining a dozen files in Excel every month is the most senior, most expensive work in a group. cruisr does it as a by-product of keeping the books.

Both sides always agree

When one of your businesses bills another, cruisr pairs the two sides and cancels them on consolidation — so group totals count only what you sold outside the group.

Sliceable by construction

Every entry is tagged by entity, partner entity, business unit, region, department and project as it is booked, so any cut of the group is a filter rather than a rebuild.

The group

What consolidating twelve entities looks like when it works

One set of books underneath, one switch between a single business and the whole group.

cruisr spots when one of your businesses owes or sold to another — management fees, cost shares, inventory moves — and pairs the two sides itself. Nobody keeps the list in their head.

  • Both sides matched to the dollar
  • Unpaired items surfaced instead of buried
  • The tie-out stops being a month-end scramble

The view

Revenue and margin per entity, side by side

One named view, not a report you assemble: the group total, every entity ranked beneath it, and any line openable down to the entity and then the transaction behind it.

Why it holds

Consolidation is a data problem before it is a reporting problem

It starts at the transaction, not at month-end

Every entry is tagged by entity, partner entity, department and project when it is booked. Consolidation is then a question you ask, not a project you run.

Pairing beats reconciling from memory

Inter-business transactions are matched as they happen, so the two sides never drift far enough apart to need an investigation.

The group closes once

Periods lock across the group, so an entity cannot quietly restate a month that the consolidated numbers already went out on.

One number, traceable to its source

Any consolidated line opens down to the entity and the transaction behind it — the drill-down is the proof that the roll-up is real.

The rest of the system

One system, not six tools

Consolidation only works if the books underneath it are current and controlled — which is why cruisr owns those too.

FAQ

The objections we hear most

Handing your books to AI deserves scrutiny. Here’s what operators ask us first — answered plainly.

The AI does the bulk and shows its work — every number carries a confidence level and a record of its source, and nothing you rely on goes out unchecked. Most transactions post automatically overnight; anything the model isn’t confident about gets flagged and held for a person to decide. Where a number needs judgment, a person handles it before it reaches you.

Your data stays permissioned to your team, and cruisr’s agents act only within the rights you set — prepare, review, approve, view — enforced by a segregation-of-duties matrix and dollar-threshold approvals. Period locks stop changes to closed periods, and every entry carries its source document and a full change history. We handle financial and personal data in line with Quebec’s Law 25. Formal attestations such as SOC 2 are in progress.

Keep them or don’t — cruisr delivers the close either way. Most customers find the grind is simply done, and their accountant moves from data entry to advice. If you’ve got internal people on it, they stop keying transactions and get their time back for the judgment work you actually hired them for.

No. cruisr runs on top of the QuickBooks or Xero you already use — nothing gets ripped out, no migration project. It keeps its own authoritative books and writes back to your system, so you get one live source of truth instead of a ledger you update by hand.

Your QuickBooks or Xero stays in your name, under your admin, the whole time — we work inside your files, we never hold them hostage. If you want out, it’s month-to-month — cancel anytime, no long-term contract — and you get a full handover package with everything current and reconciled. No reconstruction project, no scramble to get your own data back.

Right now, we run it for you — that’s the point: you get the close done without staffing it or learning another system. A self-serve version you operate yourself is coming — email us and we’ll bring you in when it’s ready. Most operators don’t want one more system to run — they want the numbers done, which is what we deliver today.
