Multi-Entity & Intercompany Accounting
Run every legal entity, branch, trading desk and currency in a single ledger. opsPhlo automates intercompany postings, eliminations and allocations, then rolls everything up to a live group consolidation, so your finance team closes faster and reports with confidence.
Commodity groups outgrow single-entity accounting fast
Trading houses rarely operate as one company. You hold goods in one entity, finance them in another, hedge through a treasury vehicle and invoice end buyers from a local sales office. When each entity sits in a separate system or spreadsheet, every month-end becomes a manual exercise of matching intercompany balances, restating currencies and chasing eliminations by hand.
opsPhlo treats the group as one structure. Define your entities, branches, currencies and intercompany relationships once, and the system handles the postings, the conversions and the consolidation for you, in real time and with a complete audit trail.
One ledger, every entity, real-time consolidation
Everything a commodity trading group needs to manage multiple companies, currencies and intercompany flows in a single, integrated finance platform.
Unlimited Entities & Branches
Model your full corporate structure: parents, subsidiaries, branches and trading desks, each with its own chart of accounts or a shared group template.
Automated Intercompany Postings
Raise a transaction in one entity and opsPhlo generates the matching entry in the counterparty, keeping both sides of every intercompany balance in step.
Multi-Currency by Design
Transact, revalue and report in any currency. Realised and unrealised FX is calculated automatically, with translation handled at consolidation.
Real-Time Group Consolidation
Roll up results across entities and currencies on demand. No overnight batch, no offline workbook: the group view is always current.
Automatic Eliminations
Intercompany revenue, costs, balances and unrealised margin are eliminated on consolidation, so the group numbers reflect only third-party activity.
Cost & Profit Allocations
Distribute shared costs, overheads and treasury charges across entities, desks and contracts using rules you control, with full traceability.
Audit-Ready & Compliant
Every posting, allocation and elimination is traceable to source. Support local statutory reporting per entity alongside the group view.
From transaction to group accounts, without the manual close
Define the Group Structure
Set up entities, branches, currencies, intercompany pairs and elimination rules once. Reuse a shared chart of accounts or keep local ones where you need them.
Transact Across Entities
Buy in one company, sell from another, finance through treasury. opsPhlo posts the matching intercompany entries automatically as trades and invoices flow.
Eliminate & Translate
On consolidation, intercompany balances are matched and removed, and each entity is translated into the group reporting currency at the rates you set.
Report at Any Level
Drill from the consolidated group P&L down to a single entity, desk, contract or journal line, all in one platform with no rekeying.
Built for the way trading groups really operate
Because multi-entity accounting in opsPhlo shares the same ledger as your CTRM, the financial picture and the trading picture never diverge. Positions, mark-to-market, settlements and cashflows all feed the same entities you consolidate.
- Intercompany and finance fully integrated with CTRM, not bolted on afterwards.
- Start with one entity at go-live, then add companies and currencies as the group grows.
- Cloud delivery with a Total Cost of Operation less than one-fifth of traditional systems like SAP.
- Retire the spreadsheets and offline consolidation packs that slow your month-end.

ExploreQuestions, answered
How many legal entities can opsPhlo handle?
opsPhlo supports an unlimited number of entities, branches and trading desks within one platform. You can model parents, subsidiaries and special-purpose vehicles, each with its own currency and, where needed, its own chart of accounts.
Does opsPhlo automate intercompany eliminations?
Yes. Intercompany revenue, costs, balances and unrealised margin are eliminated automatically on consolidation, based on the intercompany relationships and rules you define, so your group accounts reflect only third-party activity.
Can we report in multiple currencies?
Each entity transacts in its own currency, with realised and unrealised FX calculated automatically. At consolidation, every entity is translated into your chosen group reporting currency at the rates you set.
Can we start with one entity and add more later?
Yes. In keeping with the opsPhlo approach, you can go live quickly with a single entity, then add companies, branches and currencies over time as the group grows, without re-implementing.
