Consolidation and Intercompany Agent
The Consolidation and Intercompany Agent reconciles intercompany balances and transactions across your group companies, including subsidiaries elsewhere in Africa, and identifies differences before they hold up the consolidation. It prepares elimination entries and currency translation, and produces a consolidation pack for IFRS group reporting.

The difference
From 40-60 hours per consolidation cycle to 10-15 hours

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
Intercompany differences found early
Mismatched intercompany balances are one of the most common reasons group reporting runs late. The agent matches both sides of every relationship and highlights differences while entity teams can still correct them.
Currency complexity handled
Subsidiaries reporting in other African currencies add translation work and exchange differences to every consolidation. The agent applies your rates consistently and shows the effect on the group.
A pack your auditors can follow
Every elimination and translation adjustment is documented and traceable to entity data, so your group audit runs more smoothly.
Capabilities
Group results that balance across every entity, currency and border.
Built for group financial controllers, consolidation accountants and CFOs of South African groups with local and African subsidiaries reporting under IFRS.
Intercompany matching
Matches intercompany receivables, payables, loans, revenue and costs between every pair of group entities and lists unmatched items with their source transactions.
Difference resolution workflow
Sends each entity's finance team a clear list of differences to resolve, and tracks responses and corrections before the consolidation deadline.
Elimination entries
Prepares elimination journals for intercompany balances, transactions, dividends and investments in subsidiaries, as drafts for your review.
Currency translation
Translates subsidiaries' results from their functional currencies into rand at your chosen closing and average rates, and calculates the foreign currency translation reserve movement.
IFRS 10 consolidation support
Supports consolidation under IFRS 10, including non-controlling interests and changes in group structure, with workings that tie to entity trial balances.
Consolidation pack
Produces the consolidation pack with group trial balance, eliminations, translation workings and variance commentary for management and audit.

In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your group financial records. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
