Consolidated Business Plan : A little revolution !

Discover how Opera can be used to quickly build and update your financial forecasts based on an accounting situation. Let us be clear right away that this is a small revolution in the management world. Indeed, today very few groups have managed to equip themselves to produce their consolidated financial forecasts in a secure and rapid manner. With this new module, Amelkis allows financial managers to anticipate their cash flow performance with great precision.

Case study in an international group

Let's start with a simple case: a well-integrated IT group with 12 subsidiaries around the world and a turnover of 100 million euros. We therefore have currency and intra-group transactions issues in a very active and volatile business sector that requires significant financial resources to hope to develop. In this environment, management's objectives are relatively simple. It aims to enable shareholders and financial partners to have a sharpened look at the group's future by visualizing the financial impacts of development projects. But it also wants to be able to anticipate its short-term financing needs and acquire real agility because these projects are ambitious and its sector of activity is constantly changing.
