10 Minutes to Confidence: How TreeBeam Simplifies Consolidations

When the month end close process rolls around, accountants know the drill: late nights, endless spreadsheets, and the constant worry that one small formula error could throw off the entire set of consolidated financial statements.

If you’re juggling multiple entities, properties, or funds, consolidating your accounting trial balances can feel like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. Even with powerful financials software like QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct, the reality is the same: the monthly closing process often comes down to spreadsheets. And spreadsheets, while flexible, aren’t built for accuracy or audit trails.

That’s where TreeBeam comes in.

TreeBeam is purpose-built to give accountants confidence during the accounting closing process—not by replacing your GL system, but by making consolidation faster, cleaner, and more reliable. In fact, with TreeBeam, you can go from messy exports to clear consolidated financial reports in as little as 10 minutes.

Why Consolidations Get Messy

Closing books for a single entity is hard enough. But when you’re managing consolidated accounts across multiple subsidiaries or reporting groups, the challenges multiply:

• Intercompany eliminations get tricky when tracked in ad hoc spreadsheets.

• Adjusting entries often live outside the main ledger, creating confusion later.

• Version control becomes a nightmare—who has the “real” file?

• Consolidated financial results can take hours (or days) to produce, only to need more revisions when auditors or executives ask for backup detail.

Traditional financial statement software doesn’t always help. Many systems are either too lightweight (leaving you in spreadsheets anyway) or so heavy-handed that they take months to implement and cost a fortune.

TreeBeam finds the balance accountants actually need.

TreeBeam’s Approach to Consolidations

TreeBeam was designed by accountants, for accountants—which means it speaks your language. It doesn’t force you to overhaul your workflow or abandon Excel entirely. Instead, it gives you a structured workspace for trial balance data, adjusting entries, and consolidation activities that flow seamlessly into your reporting package.

Here’s how TreeBeam makes consolidations painless:

1. Centralized Trial Balance Workspace

Export trial balance data from your financials software, upload it into TreeBeam, and immediately get an organized view. No broken formulas, no endless formatting fixes—just clean financial accounts ready for adjustments or consolidation.

2. Easy Adjustments with Audit Trail

Need to book tax, audit, or management-only entries? TreeBeam lets you log them by type, track who made them, and see the effect instantly—while keeping your original data intact. Goodbye to juggling “adjusted vs. unadjusted” spreadsheet tabs.

3. Streamlined Consolidation Support

Whether you’re rolling up 2 entities or 20, TreeBeam helps you eliminate intercompany activity and create structured consolidated financial accounts. You’ll be able to produce consolidated financial statements with confidence—and without hours of manual reconciliation.

4. Faster Month-End Close

By bringing your accounting workflows into one clean environment, TreeBeam cuts down the time it takes to finalize consolidated financial results. What used to take days in Excel can often be done in minutes—freeing you to focus on analysis, not wrangling spreadsheets.

Why “10 Minutes to Confidence” Matters

The truth is, the accounting close doesn’t have to be painful. With TreeBeam, accountants finally have a tool that’s lightweight, affordable, and designed to make financial statements in accounting easier to prepare, review, and explain.

Instead of second-guessing whether your numbers tie out, you can have confidence that your monthly closing process is supported by structure, clarity, and an audit-ready trail. And that confidence doesn’t just save time—it reduces risk, improves accuracy, and helps your team move from reactive to proactive.
