Finance areas · Multi-entity finance
Entities share one governed ledger, one chart-of-accounts model and one approval discipline — while each keeps its currency, tax jurisdiction and country procedures. Standardized control without pretending every country works the same.
The whole group surface
01 / The lifecycle
Country setup provisions the chart of accounts, tax codes, fiscal periods and number series for the jurisdiction — configured, not rebuilt.
Accounts, items, customers and vendors live as organization-wide masters with per-entity overrides only where an entity genuinely differs.
Payroll, VAT and statutory filings are country plugins — adaptable logic per jurisdiction, not hardcoded vendor assumptions.
Each transaction carries its legal entity and currency — cross-entity queries work naturally, without partition gymnastics.
Multi-currency postings with exchange rates applied and preserved — the functional and transaction amounts both on the ledger.
Per-entity statements and consolidated group views come from one dimensional model — no export-merge-reconcile cycle.
Every table carries the legal entity as a dimension — one ledger, simple cross-entity queries, one audit trail.
02 / Coverage
Legal entities with their own currency, fiscal calendar and jurisdiction — on one ledger.
Defined once at group level, overridden per entity only where needed — no drift between six copies.
Transaction and functional amounts with preserved rates — conversion is recorded, not implied.
Payroll, VAT and statutory reporting per jurisdiction, delivered and updated as plugins.
Cross-entity transactions carry both sides' context — visible in one place, not two inboxes.
Consolidated views built from the same per-entity postings your auditors will trace.
03 / Who does the work
Country logic is the clearest case for plugins: each jurisdiction’s procedures are owned, versioned and adaptable — Estonia today, your next country as a plugin, not a migration.

Not limited to three
Accountants describe the work to Claude in plain language — what starts it, what to check, when to ask a person. Claude turns it into an agent with its own triggers, steps and limits, running under the same controls and audit trail as the three above.

Bring one entity onto the governed ledger in shadow mode — the group structure, masters and controls are already built for the second one.
