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.
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.
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
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.
"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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
