Multi-entity bookkeeping for international businesses

Multi-Entity Bookkeeping

One clear picture of all your entities, every month.

When your business spans more than one country, your books need more than a standard setup. Ledgora coordinates your records across every entity and currency so your consolidated view holds together — without the monthly scramble.

What this service delivers

A single, dependable view — however many entities you run

The promise is straightforward: your books across every entity, kept in a consistent and coherent state. Month after month, you get consolidated figures you can actually rely on — not something stitched together under pressure before the board meeting.

Consistent records

Every entity treated with the same chart of accounts, the same period-end process. Intercompany flows stay clean and reconciliation is no longer a last-minute event.

Currency handled properly

Exchange rates applied consistently, translation adjustments recorded correctly. No more guessing whether the difference is a real movement or a rate inconsistency.

Reporting that holds together

Management accounts and consolidated figures that are ready when you need them — not assembled from spreadsheets at the last moment.

The situation many businesses find themselves in

When your books live in more than one place, things get complicated

Running entities across two or three countries often means your books are held in different systems, by different local accountants, following slightly different conventions. At first it's manageable. Then consolidation time comes around.

Suddenly you're chasing figures from a subsidiary in a different time zone, correcting rate discrepancies, and trying to work out why the intercompany numbers don't net out. The month-end that should take a few days stretches into a fortnight.

It's not a failure of effort — it's a structural problem. Bookkeeping built for single-entity businesses simply doesn't adapt well when you grow across borders. The gaps show up exactly when you can least afford them.

Month-end takes much longer than it should

Chasing figures across entities and time zones, correcting small discrepancies that compound into bigger ones.

Consolidation isn't straightforward

Different local accountants using different conventions, making it hard to compare figures like-for-like.

Currency differences add a layer of uncertainty

Not always clear whether a variance is a real business movement or an artefact of exchange rates applied inconsistently.

The board doesn't always get a clear picture

Reports that tell a muddled story make decisions harder than they need to be.

How we approach it

A coordinated approach built for multi-entity structures

This isn't general bookkeeping adapted for international use. The Multi-Entity Bookkeeping service is designed from the ground up for businesses that operate across more than one country.

Approach

One unified chart of accounts

We establish a consistent coding structure across all your entities. This makes intercompany reconciliation clean and ensures that figures from different jurisdictions can be compared meaningfully.

Approach

Currency handled at source

Exchange rates are applied and documented consistently from the point of transaction. Translation differences are recorded as their own line — not buried or ignored — so you always know what you're looking at.

Approach

Intercompany flows kept clean

Transactions between entities are tracked carefully and reconciled each period. Eliminations at consolidation become routine rather than an exercise in detective work.

Approach

Consolidated output ready when you need it

Monthly management accounts prepared on schedule, not when we finally get around to chasing the last figure. You get what you need, when you need it.

What working together looks like

Calm, organised, and dependably on time

The experience of working with Ledgora is designed to reduce the friction that comes with managing international books — not add to it.

Step 01

We map your structure

We start by understanding your entities, your existing records, and the specific challenges your structure presents. No assumptions.

Step 02

We set up the framework

Chart of accounts, currency conventions, period-end calendar — everything established before we start so there's nothing to improvise later.

Step 03

Ongoing monthly work

Regular bookkeeping across all entities, reconciliations handled, and consolidated figures prepared on schedule each month.

Step 04

You stay informed

We communicate clearly and promptly. If something needs your attention, you'll hear about it — in plain language, not accounting jargon.

Investment

Clear pricing, no surprises

The Multi-Entity Bookkeeping service is priced as a monthly engagement. What you see is what you pay — there are no bolt-on charges for the coordination work that is, in our view, part of the job.

$640 / month

Monthly service — billed on a rolling basis with no long-term lock-in required to get started.

The monthly figure reflects consistent, ongoing engagement — not a project fee for an occasional tidy-up. It covers the coordination work, the currency handling, and the consolidated output each period.

What is included

Full bookkeeping across all entities in scope, maintained monthly

Consistent chart of accounts applied across your group structure

Currency recording and exchange rate application handled consistently

Intercompany reconciliation each period — eliminations prepared and documented

Monthly consolidated management accounts prepared on schedule

A dedicated point of contact who understands your structure

Clear documentation of what has been done and how, each month

How we measure progress

What a well-maintained multi-entity setup looks like

The results of good multi-entity bookkeeping aren't dramatic — they're the quiet absence of problems that used to take hours to sort out.

Month 1–2

Getting your foundations in order

We review your existing records, establish the consistent framework across entities, and resolve any structural issues that have built up. The first period is typically the most involved.

Month 3+

Routine takes over

With the framework in place, each period follows a predictable rhythm. Month-end closes on schedule, consolidated figures are ready without chasing, and your time is spent on the business rather than the books.

Ongoing

A clear picture, consistently

Management accounts you can hand to your board with confidence. Currency variances explained clearly. Intercompany positions transparent. That's what this service is designed to deliver, every month.

Our commitment

We start with a conversation, not a contract

We'd rather you feel comfortable with how we work before making any commitment. The initial conversation is simply that — a conversation. We'll talk through your structure, what the service involves, and whether it's a good fit. There's no pressure and no obligation.

If you choose to go ahead and find within the first period that the service isn't working as you'd hoped, we'll work with you to understand why and make it right. We want the relationship to be a good one — that matters to us as much as it does to you.

Getting started

A straightforward path from here

There's nothing complicated about getting started. The first step is simply reaching out — we take it from there.

1

Send us a message

A few lines about your structure — how many entities, which countries, what you're currently finding difficult. That's all we need to have a useful first conversation.

2

We review your setup

We'll look at your existing records, understand your consolidation requirements, and put together a clear picture of what the engagement would involve.

3

We begin, calmly

Onboarding is handled at a pace that works for your team. We don't need everything at once — we'll bring your books into order methodically and keep you informed throughout.

Ready when you are

Let's bring your books into order

If coordinating books across multiple entities is taking more time and energy than it should, we'd be glad to talk. No commitment — just a clear, honest conversation about what we can do for you.
