Who Is Each Tool Right For?

Syft Analytics is best for:

  • Accountants producing polished client-facing management packs and dashboards
  • Teams whose primary deliverable is a KPI report or analytics presentation — not a statutory set
  • Businesses wanting to complement an existing consolidation tool with presentation-quality output
  • Practices where visual storytelling and client engagement matters more than audit-grade close controls

BrizoConsol is best for:

  • Multi-entity groups that need true statutory consolidated financials
  • Groups with intercompany transactions that must be eliminated and documented
  • Finance teams that need IFRS, UK GAAP, or US GAAP compliant output from a single run
  • Auditors and CFOs who require a period-locked, traceable consolidation workflow

The Key Differences

Close process vs client reporting

Syft does real consolidation — eliminations, NCI, and the acquisition method are all present. Where it shines is polished, client-ready output. BrizoConsol is optimised for the internal group close: period locks, transaction-level audit trail, and a workflow designed to support statutory consolidation requirements.

Period locking and close controls

BrizoConsol's audit-grade period lock prevents retroactive changes once a month is closed — essential for statutory accounts. Syft's Financial Close section covers journals, prepaid expenses, and eliminations, but does not include period locking.

Multi-GAAP from one consolidation

BrizoConsol produces IFRS, US GAAP, UK GAAP, and SFRS output simultaneously from a single consolidation run. Multi-GAAP output in one run was not identified in Syft's publicly available documentation reviewed August 2026.10

Built for accounting firms managing multiple groups

BrizoConsol is designed for firms that run consolidations across multiple client groups — each with its own entity structure, chart of accounts, and GAAP requirement. Manage every group from one workspace without per-client tool configuration.

Mixed-platform groups: the "free" Syft caveat

"Analytics powered by Syft" is embedded in Xero and included at no extra cost to Xero subscribers — but it reads Xero data only.7 Any entity in your group running QuickBooks, MYOB, or Zoho Books is excluded entirely from the embedded version. To include those entities you need a paid standalone Syft subscription, at which point the included benefit disappears. BrizoConsol consolidates across Xero, QuickBooks Online, MYOB, and Zoho Books in a single run — no platform restriction, no separate subscription per source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Syft Analytics do financial consolidation?+

Yes. Standalone Syft Analytics supports multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations, multi-currency reporting, and acquisition-method adjustments.1 The distinction from BrizoConsol is in the compliance infrastructure: Syft does not include period locking,4 a transaction-level audit trail across all consolidation steps, or multi-GAAP output in a single run.

Did Syft Analytics become Xero Analytics?+

No. Xero acquired Syft and embedded selected capabilities into Xero under "Analytics powered by Syft."11 Standalone Syft Analytics continues as a separate product with its own subscription and a broader feature set, including consolidation features not available in the Xero-embedded version.

Are Syft Analytics and Analytics powered by Syft separate products?+

"Analytics powered by Syft" is embedded within Xero and reads Xero data only — it is not the same as standalone Syft Analytics.7 Standalone Syft provides broader reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and consolidation functionality, including support for entities on QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage, and other platforms. Groups with entities on multiple accounting systems cannot use the Xero-embedded version to consolidate all entities.

What's the difference between Syft Analytics and BrizoConsol?+

Syft Analytics combines reporting, analytics, and consolidation. BrizoConsol focuses specifically on controlled group consolidation workflows, including period locking, transaction-level traceability, and multi-GAAP output.

Does BrizoConsol have reporting features like Syft?+

BrizoConsol produces consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements structured to GAAP reporting requirements, plus AI-generated narrative commentary for board packs — the consolidation close output Syft's reporting-focused feature set does not cover. For client-facing dashboards and KPI visualisation on top of that, some teams layer a reporting tool like Syft over BrizoConsol's consolidation output.

Which tool is better for audit-ready financial statements?+

BrizoConsol is designed specifically for this workflow. It maintains a full transaction-level audit trail, supports period locking, and produces consolidated output structured to IFRS, UK GAAP, and US GAAP requirements. Syft is designed for management reporting and client presentation rather than statutory consolidation close processes.

Can I use Syft and BrizoConsol together?+

Yes. BrizoConsol handles the consolidation close — eliminations, currency translation, and compliant financial statements. Syft can then be used for client reporting, dashboards, and narrative presentation. Many teams find this combination gives them both accounting accuracy and presentation quality.

What accounting systems does BrizoConsol connect to?+

BrizoConsol integrates directly with Xero, QuickBooks Online, MYOB, and Zoho Books. Each entity in your group can run a different system — BrizoConsol normalises the data into a single consolidated view. Syft connects to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, FreshBooks, FreeAgent, Sage Intacct, and others — verify the current list at syftanalytics.com.

How long does it take to set up a consolidation in BrizoConsol?+

Most groups complete their first consolidation within the free trial. You connect your entities, BrizoConsol maps accounts using BrizoMapster to reduce manual classification work, and the intercompany elimination engine runs from there. No credit card is needed to start, and standard group setups do not require an implementation consultant.
