Who Is Each Tool Right For?

Excel is best for:

These are the scenarios where Excel makes sense.

  • You have a single entity or very simple reporting needs
  • Your group has fewer than 3 entities with no intercompany transactions
  • You need maximum flexibility and own every formula
  • Your team already has deep Excel skills and no budget for software

BrizoConsol is best for:

These are the groups BrizoConsol is built to serve.

  • You manage 2+ entities and spend days consolidating every month
  • You have intercompany transactions that need eliminating
  • You operate across multiple currencies
  • Your auditors are asking for proper documentation and audit trails
  • You're scaling and Excel is becoming a liability

The Key Differences

Eliminations happen automatically

BrizoConsol detects intercompany balances and eliminates them at close. Excel requires you to build and maintain complex formulas — and hope no one breaks them.

One source of truth

Excel files fragment across email, Dropbox, and laptops. BrizoConsol keeps every entity's data in one place, always up to date.

Close in hours, not days

Finance teams using Excel for group consolidation typically spend 3–7 days per close cycle. BrizoConsol customers report closing in a fraction of that time.

Built for accountants, not spreadsheet engineers

You shouldn't need to be an Excel expert to produce a consolidated P&L. BrizoConsol makes it accessible to the whole finance team.
