Build your financial reporting structure with Gravity

For growing organizations, the foundation of strong financial management is a clear and consistent reporting structure. But for businesses managing multiple entities, that foundation is often fractured by inconsistent charts of accounts, manual consolidations, and limited visibility.

Gravity Software eliminates those challenges by giving you a customizable multi-company reporting framework that adapts to your business. Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Gravity aligns every entity under a unified structure—so you can generate consolidated reports, automate intercompany activity, and scale without complexity.

Why the right accounting software choice matters

Why the right accounting software choice matters

For growing organizations managing multiple entities, the wrong tools can hold your accounting team back. QuickBooks and Excel may work in the early days, but they quickly create silos, force manual consolidations, and increase the risk of errors. On the other end of the spectrum, large ERP systems often overwhelm teams with unnecessary complexity, high costs, and long implementation cycles.

What your team needs is balance—a solution designed for multi-entity accounting that delivers clarity without the bloat.

Gravity Software is purpose-built for businesses like yours. It automates consolidations, streamlines intercompany transactions, and provides real-time reporting across all entities. That means your accounting team spends less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time focusing on strategy, growth, and decision support.

What is a financial reporting structure in Gravity?

It’s the framework that organizes and consolidates financial data across all your entities. By using a segmented chart of accounts and dimensions, Gravity ensures consistency and accuracy in reporting while giving you flexibility for unique business needs.

Why is it important to build the structure correctly from the start?

A well-designed reporting foundation means consolidated financials are accurate, scalable, and free from manual fixes. If your structure isn’t set up properly, you risk inefficiencies, ongoing errors, and limited visibility as your business grows.

Can the reporting structure be customized to my business?

Yes. Gravity’s framework can be tailored around your entities, departments, projects, regions, or funds. This way, your reports reflect how your organization actually operates.

Can the reporting structure support multiple currencies and regions?

Yes. With the right structure in place, you can report across home, transaction, and reporting currencies—ensuring accurate global consolidations without workarounds.

How does this structure connect with Microsoft tools?

Because Gravity is built on the Microsoft Power Platform, your reporting foundation ties directly into Microsoft 365 apps like Excel, Outlook, and Teams, as well as advanced analytics with Power BI and workflow automation with Power Automate.
