| Category | Its job | Where it stops | Where Fynease fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Close automation | Book recurring entries, run the checklist, reconcile accounts | Often one company file at a time, and before the reporting | The whole close across every company, signed off, with entries posted back to QuickBooks Online |
| Consolidation | Combine company files, eliminate intercompany, translate currencies | Combines the books as they are, closed or not | Closes each company and reconciles intercompany first, then consolidates |
| Reporting and FP&A | Dashboards, board packs, budgets and forecasts from the ledger | Reports on the books as they are | Reports and forecasts from books it has already closed |
| ERP or QuickBooks | Replace the ledger, and the close and reporting with it | Needs a migration and a new system for the team | Keeps QuickBooks Online as the book of record and adds the layer on top |

Start free trialIt depends on where the work is. If the numbers are right but hard to present, a reporting tool. If several companies need to be seen as one, a consolidation tool. If the month-end itself takes the time, schedules, reconciliations and sign-off, close automation. If QuickBooks Online itself has been outgrown, an ERP. Fynease covers the close, the consolidation and the reporting on top of QuickBooks Online.
Reporting tools read QuickBooks Online and present it. They do not change the ledger, so unrun schedules and unreconciled intercompany flow straight into the reports. Fynease runs the close first, signs off every Balance Sheet account, posts approved entries back to QuickBooks Online, and then reports. Reporting and FP&A tools compared.
No. QuickBooks Online stays the book of record. Fynease adds the close, consolidation and reporting on top of it. When to replace QuickBooks Online, and when not to.
