Multi-Entity Bookkeeping & Consolidated Reporting
Coordinated monthly close, intercompany reconciliations, and consolidated reporting across operating companies, holding LLCs, real estate entities, and trusts — kept entity-level accurate in QuickBooks Online and rolled up into a single management view.
Quick Answers
- What is multi-entity bookkeeping?
- Multi-entity bookkeeping is coordinated monthly close, reconciliations, and reporting across two or more related legal entities — operating companies, holding companies, real estate LLCs, investment vehicles, and trusts — kept entity-level accurate and rolled up into a consolidated view.
- How much does multi-entity bookkeeping cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
- Multi-entity engagements typically range from $1,500–$6,000+ per month depending on the number of entities, transaction volume, intercompany activity, and whether consolidated reporting is required. Pricing is fixed-fee after a scoping call.
- Do you handle intercompany transactions and eliminations?
- Yes. We book and reconcile intercompany loans, transfers, and management fees inside QuickBooks Online and produce eliminations for consolidated reporting so the roll-up isn't double-counted.
What's Included
A complete multi-entity back office, built on QuickBooks Online and tuned for groups with intercompany activity, consolidations, and an advisor team to coordinate.
Entity-Level Books in QBO
A clean QuickBooks Online file per entity with consistent chart of accounts, classes, and locations across the structure.
Intercompany Tracking & Eliminations
Loans, transfers, expense allocations, and management fees booked symmetrically across entities with eliminations for consolidated views.
Consolidated Reporting & Roll-Ups
Monthly consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow across all entities, plus drill-down to any single entity.
Household vs. Entity Separation
Clear separation of personal, household, and entity activity so distributions, owner draws, and reimbursements are clean for tax preparation.
CPA-Ready Year-End Packages
Trial balances, GL detail, fixed asset schedules, and supporting documentation packaged for your CPA to file without follow-up.
Cash Position Across Entities
A single cash dashboard showing balances, restricted vs. operating cash, and upcoming obligations across the structure.

Discreet handling of sensitive financial information with documented access controls across family members, advisors, and operators.
Advisor Team Coordination
We coordinate with your CPA, estate attorney, wealth advisor, and insurance team so everyone works from the same reconciled numbers.
Who This Is For
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you take over an existing multi-entity QuickBooks setup?
- Yes. We start with a structural review of every QBO file in the group — chart of accounts, classes, intercompany accounts, and prior-period reconciliations — then standardize before taking over the monthly close.
- Do you produce GAAP-style consolidated financial statements?
- We produce management-level consolidated reporting that mirrors GAAP presentation (eliminations, intercompany clearing, minority interest where relevant). For audited GAAP financials you'll still need a licensed CPA firm; we hand off a clean trial balance and supporting workpapers.
- How do you handle a new entity formed mid-year?
- We open a new QBO file, mirror the group chart of accounts, post opening balances from formation documents, and fold the entity into the next consolidated reporting cycle.
- Do you support multi-state entities?
- Yes — we maintain books for entities operating across multiple U.S. states. We track state-level revenue, payroll, and asset location to support your CPA's state filings. We do not prepare or file state tax returns.
- What software do you use?
- QuickBooks Online is our primary platform across all entities. For consolidations we use Excel- and Google Sheets–based workpapers tied to QBO trial balances; we also support QBO Advanced for groups that need its consolidation features.
- Do you serve clients outside the Dallas–Fort Worth area?
- Yes. While we are based in North Texas and serve the entire DFW Metroplex (Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Southlake), our multi-entity engagements work fully remotely across the United States.
