Light vs Konsolidator
Konsolidator is a CPM platform for finance teams that consolidates groups running on many different accounting systems, from Xero, Fortnox and Visma to Business Central, NetSuite and SAP. It handles currency adjustments, intercompany eliminations and minority interests, and adds budgeting, forecasting and Power BI reporting on top. It works by importing each entity's trial balance into its own model. Light is the agentic ERP where the ledger and the consolidation are the same system, so the group numbers are the books rather than a copy of them.
