A concept for real-time financial consolidationA concept for real-time financial consolidation
An internal concept study exploring how a spreadsheet-driven month-end close could become a traceable, real-time consolidation platform.
These are internally developed concept studies created to show how Aman-Cloud approaches product and engineering decisions. They are not commissioned client work, and any scenarios or targets are illustrative rather than measured production results.
Illustrative scenario
Imagine a holding group managing many subsidiaries across several currencies, with consolidation living in linked spreadsheets: closes stretch across days, errors surface late, and auditors bill for untangling the trail. Off-the-shelf ERPs would force the group to change how it operates. This concept explores the alternative.
Proposed approach
- 01
Begin with a structured discovery that maps every journal flow before proposing architecture.
- 02
Design an event-sourced ledger core so every balance is traceable to its source transactions — an audit-first data model.
- 03
Plan an incremental, entity-by-entity rollout that runs parallel to existing spreadsheets before any cut-over.
- 04
Automate FX revaluation and inter-company elimination as continuous processes rather than manual exercises.
Target outcomes — not measured
- A month-end close measured in hours, not days
- Every consolidated balance traceable to source transactions
- A close process with no spreadsheet dependencies
Proposed stack
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- PostgreSQL
- Temporal
- AWS
