Intercompany Reconciliation Automation

Intercompany Reconciliation Automation solutions at OutsourcingWise help organizations streamline and simplify the reconciliation of transactions between multiple entities within a corporate group.

The Challenge

A Singapore public sector finance shared services team was responsible for performing intercompany transaction reconciliations across a group of more than 50 entities.

Each quarter, the team manually reconciled ERP-extracted data provided in Excel format — a process that required significant staff hours, was prone to matching errors, and consistently created pressure during the quarterly close cycle.

The organisation needed a reliable, structured solution that could handle the volume and complexity of these reconciliations without requiring proportional increases in headcount as the entity group grew.

The Solution

OutsourcingWise designed and built a custom Excel-based intercompany reconciliation tool with the following capabilities:

  • Automated ingestion and processing of ERP-extracted data files without manual reformatting
  • Matching logic that identifies corresponding intercompany transactions across entity pairs and flags unmatched items for review
  • User-friendly interface enabling finance staff to run the full reconciliation cycle without specialist technical knowledge
  • Exception reporting that surfaces unreconciled items with supporting transaction detail for resolution
  • Quarterly update functionality allowing the same tool to be refreshed each period without rebuilding

Following delivery, OutsourcingWise also assumed managed service responsibility for the tool — running the quarterly reconciliation process on behalf of the client, handling data uploads, exception resolution, and producing final reconciliation outputs ready for the accounting team.
