IC Reconciliation & Eliminations

Intercompany reconciliation and eliminations - automated end-to-end

Taxilla IC Reconciliation & Eliminations automates the full intercompany close cycle in one connected module - AI-assisted balance matching across all entity pairs, dispute resolution, auto-generated elimination journals for revenue, cost, balances, and unrealized profit, and direct feed into the consolidation run. No spreadsheets. No manual elimination preparation.

Two problems, one bottleneck - IC mismatches and manual eliminations

Intercompany close has two distinct failure points: balances that don't agree between entity pairs, and elimination journals that must be prepared manually after reconciliation. Both delay every group consolidation run.

01

IC balances reconciled by email and spreadsheet

Finance teams exchange trial balance extracts manually, identify differences line-by-line, and chase resolution via email - a process that takes days and still leaves residual variances at close.

02

FX and timing differences create unresolvable loops

When entities transact in different currencies or post in different periods, IC balances diverge in ways manual reconciliation cannot resolve systematically - creating persistent exceptions every close.

03

Elimination journals prepared manually in Excel

Even when IC balances are agreed, elimination entries are created in spreadsheets outside the ERP - increasing the risk of errors, omissions, and inconsistent postings across entities.

04

Inconsistent elimination logic across entities

Different entities apply varying elimination rules for revenue, cost, intercompany loans, and unrealized profit - leading to inconsistent group results and consolidation adjustments every period.

05

Eliminations performed last - delaying consolidation

Eliminations are the final step before the consolidation run begins. Because they are prepared manually, delays in elimination preparation cascade into delayed board accounts and management reporting.

06

Weakest area in every external audit

Auditors lack clear traceability from source intercompany transactions to elimination journals and approvals. IC balances and eliminations are among the most commonly flagged audit findings.

Ingest → Match → Resolve → Eliminate → Approve → Feed Consolidation

STEP 01

Centralise IC data across ERPs

Intercompany AR, AP, revenue, cost, loans, and clearing account balances pulled simultaneously from both entity ERPs - SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics - into a unified IC sub-ledger. No manual exports.

STEP 02

AI-assisted matching

ML-powered matching across all entity pairs - handling FX tolerances, timing offset windows, and posting convention differences. Supports one-to-one, one-to-many, and continuous matching across the period.

STEP 03

Collaborative exception resolution

Unmatched items routed to a shared resolution portal where both entity finance teams see the same data - resolving timing, FX, pricing, and posting differences with full commentary and evidence, without email.

STEP 04

Auto-generate elimination journals

Matched IC pairs trigger standardised, rule-based elimination journals automatically - covering revenue vs cost, AR vs AP, intercompany loans, dividends, investments, and unrealized profit in inventory.

STEP 05

Approve and feed consolidation

Controllers review and approve elimination journals with full drill-down to source transactions. Approved eliminations post to ERP or feed directly into the Taxilla Consolidation run - no intermediate step.

Common questions

What intercompany account types can be reconciled and eliminated?
Taxilla supports intercompany AR/AP, revenue vs cost, intercompany loans, intercompany dividends and investments, clearing accounts, accruals, and unrealized profit in inventory - covering the full scope of intercompany balances required for group consolidation.
Does it work across entities on different ERPs?
Yes - that is the primary use case. Taxilla is ERP-agnostic and pulls IC data from SAP, Oracle Fusion, NetSuite, and Dynamics entities simultaneously, matching balances across entity pairs regardless of which ERP each entity uses.
How are unrealized profit eliminations handled?
Taxilla automatically calculates unrealized profit eliminations based on configured markup and margin rules - including inventory eliminations and period-based reversals. Every calculation is fully traceable from the source intercompany transaction to the elimination journal.
Can reconciliation and elimination run continuously - not just at month-end?
Yes. Both IC reconciliation and elimination processing can run continuously throughout the accounting period - identifying mismatches and generating provisional eliminations early, significantly reducing last-minute close pressure.
Does it replace our consolidation system?
No. Taxilla complements your consolidation system by feeding clean, matched, elimination-adjusted balances and journals into it - whether that is the Taxilla Consolidation & Reporting module or an existing third-party consolidation tool.

Eliminate intercompany mismatches and manual elimination journals - permanently.

IC Reconciliation & Eliminations works standalone or as part of the complete Financial Consolidation platform - feeding auto-generated eliminations directly into Consolidation & Reporting.
