Inter-company Accounting
Group close has a specific flavour of pain. Entity A says it charged B four hundred thousand. B has recorded three hundred and eighty. Somewhere in the difference is an FX rate applied on a different day, a management fee booked to the wrong period, and an invoice one side never got. Finding which is which means two people from two entities on a call, screen-sharing subledgers, in a timezone that suits neither of them. Then the eliminations get built by hand, and the same conversation happens next quarter.
A Skynet agent does the matching across all entities at once. It knows the pairs, holds each entity’s ledger in unified memory, and shows you both sides of every break with a proposed explanation. The eliminations it drafts do not post until you say so.
How it works
Map the entities and pairs
Connect each entity’s ledger and tell the agent your structure — which entities transact with which, which accounts are inter-company, which currency each reports in. It holds all of it together rather than one entity at a time.
Match both sides
The agent pairs inter-company transactions across ledgers, accounting for the FX rate and period each side used. Anything that agrees within your tolerance clears without a conversation.
Explain the breaks
For each mismatch, the agent shows both entries side by side and proposes the cause: a timing difference, an FX rate applied on a different date, an entry one side never booked. You are checking a diagnosis rather than making one.
Draft the eliminations
The agent builds the elimination entries for the consolidation and queues them. A person reviews and approves before anything posts, and the approval is recorded alongside the entry.
Build it from a prompt
Describe the group once.
The call between entities stops being a discovery exercise. Both sides arrive at a list that is already reconciled down to the genuine differences, each with a candidate explanation, and the consolidation is built on entries someone deliberately approved rather than assembled under deadline.
