Sage 50 Company Consolidation

Easily create consolidated options with Sage 50. By doing this, the data of the company will be added together in one set of financial accounts. In this blog, we will show how Sage 50’s Consolidation Wizard can help simplify the option.

When developing a consolidated parent, the wizard creates a chart of accounts based on whatever chart of accounts is in place. This way, accuracy is ensured because the subsidiary company’s chart of accounts is matched with that of the consolidated parent.
