Consolidation

Set up a consolidation group and review consolidated financial statements across related entities.

Consolidation brings selected entity ledgers into one reporting view. Kick automatically eliminates matched intercompany activity, then shows each entity alongside the post-elimination consolidated result.

If you need to manage separate entities without consolidating their financial statements, start with Multi-Entity.

Before you start

Consolidation is available for clients on Advanced or Enterprise. Plus doesn't include it. On other plans, Ownership and Intercompany don't appear in the navigation, and Reporting shows only individual entity reports.

→ Plan comparison guide

To create a consolidation group, you need:

• At least two business entities in the same workspace
• An Equity relationship from the parent to at least one subsidiary
• An accounting ledger for each entity in the group

If the client is on Advanced or Enterprise and you don't see Ownership, contact Kick support.

Follow the consolidation workflow

1. Map the ownership structure and other relationships between entities.
2. Create a consolidation group and select the ledger for each entity.
3. Review consolidated reports and eliminations from Reporting.
4. Review and resolve intercompany activity with Matched and Unmatched statuses.
5. Create a manual eliminating entry when an adjustment belongs only in the consolidated result.

Consolidation in Kick

A consolidation group is a parent entity and its selected subsidiaries, with a ledger selected for each member. You work with it in these places:

• Ownership. The canvas of business entities, owners, and their relationships, where you create the consolidation group.
• Ledger basis. The ledger each group member contributes to the consolidated reports.
• Reporting. The report catalog for individual entities and the consolidation group.
• Eliminations. The column on consolidated reports that removes matched intercompany activity and applies manual eliminating entries.
• Elimination Ledger. The detailed view of Auto and Manual eliminations, where you create group-level eliminating entries that affect consolidated reports only.
• Intercompany. The review table for matched and unmatched activity across the consolidation group.
