Financial Management built for commodity trade

A full-featured financial management suite, general ledger, payables, receivables, cash and multi-currency accounting, integrated end to end with your trading and supply chain. One source of truth, in real time, powered by Acumatica.

What it does

Finance and trade in a single ledger

In most trading houses, the finance team works one step removed from the deal. Trades live in a CTRM or a spreadsheet, accounting lives in something else, and the two are reconciled by hand at month end. opsPhlo closes that gap.

Every contract, shipment, invoice and settlement flows straight through to the general ledger as it happens. Your accountants work from the same numbers as your traders, with no re-keying, no overnight batch and no reconciliation backlog.

Because financial management is a module of the wider opsPhlo platform, you can start with the accounting you need today and add trading, inventory and treasury functionality over time, at a Total Cost of Operation less than one-fifth of traditional systems like SAP.

Integrated financial analytics across trading, finance and supply chain
Capabilities

Everything finance needs, in one place

Core accounting, treasury and reporting, all wired directly into the trade lifecycle so the figures are always live.

General Ledger

A flexible, multi-dimensional chart of accounts with sub-accounts, allocations and full audit trail from trade to journal entry.

Accounts Payable

Manage supplier bills, approvals and payment runs against purchase contracts and goods received, with charges allocated to the deal.

Accounts Receivable

Raise invoices from sales contracts and shipments, track ageing and collections, and post receipts that settle straight to the ledger.

Cash Management

See cash positions across banks and entities in real time, reconcile statements and forecast cashflow against open trades.

Multi-Currency

Trade and account in any currency, with automatic revaluation, realised and unrealised FX gains and losses posted to the ledger.

Multi-Entity Accounting

Consolidate across legal entities and branches, with intercompany postings and group reporting handled automatically.

Financial Reporting

Build P&L, balance sheet and management packs with drill-down to the underlying trade, and export any view you need.

Compliance & Audit

Period-end controls, role-based approvals and a complete audit trail keep you ready for statutory and lender reporting.

Trade Settlement

Match settlements, premiums, discounts and demurrage to the contract, so the value of every deal is reflected accurately.

How it works

From contract to ledger, automatically

01

Contracts post as they happen

Purchase and sales contracts created in trading generate the right accruals and journals automatically, so finance is never waiting on operations.

02

Costs follow the goods

Freight, insurance, financing and other charges are allocated to the deal and the stock line, giving you true landed cost and accurate inventory valuation.

03

Mark-to-market feeds the P&L

Open positions, M2M and FX revaluation from risk management flow into the financial statements, so reported results reflect real exposure.

04

Close the period with confidence

With one ledger and no reconciliation backlog, month-end is faster, audit trails are complete, and management and lender reporting comes straight from the system.

FAQs

Questions, answered

How does financial management connect to the rest of opsPhlo?

Does opsPhlo handle multi-currency and multi-entity accounting?

Yes. You can trade and account in any currency with automatic FX revaluation, and consolidate across legal entities and branches with intercompany postings handled for you. See multi-entity accounting for more.

opsPhlo is cloud delivered with a Total Cost of Operation less than one-fifth of traditional systems like SAP, with no large capital outlay and a fast, modular path to go-live.
