A team
by your side.
Strengthen your team or outsource consolidation: Calisto Consulting supports the preparation of consolidated accounts with operational expertise and an approach suited to your deadlines.
Closing, absence, peak workload or technical issue.
Consolidation work, checks and analysis within the agreed scope.
Shared scope, progress updates and defined approvals.
Scope, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed with your finance team before starting.
Consultants who understand consolidation work.

Strengthen your teams.
Or entrust production to us.
Two delivery models, one objective: prepare consolidated accounts with clear organisation and traceable work.
Expertise available
by your side.
You retain control of consolidation. We strengthen your team for the tasks, periods or topics that need additional support.
- Support during annual, half-year or interim closes.
- Preparation and review of reporting packages, intercompany reconciliations and consolidation entries.
- Movement analysis, balance substantiation and reporting preparation.
- Support for complex transactions and preparation for auditor discussions.
A service that is
structured and recurring.
Entrust us with all or part of production. We organise work with your teams and prepare deliverables within the agreed scope.
- Timetable organisation and coordination of entity submissions.
- Data validation, consolidation processing and tracking of open points.
- Preparation of financial statements and note disclosures included in the engagement.
- Documentation and support for discussions with statutory auditors.
In both cases, production, review and approval responsibilities are formalised. Accounting decisions and account approval remain your management’s responsibility.

What is the difference between assistance and outsourcing?
Assistance strengthens a team that retains operational control. Outsourcing entrusts all or part of production to Calisto within an agreed scope. Roles, deliverables and approvals are defined at scoping in both cases.
Can we outsource only part of consolidation?
Yes. The engagement can cover selected stages, entities or reports. Scoping identifies the tasks covered, dependencies with your teams and approval points.
Can you help only during a close?
Yes. Assistance can address a one-off need, absence or exceptional workload. Together we define priority tasks, access requirements and working arrangements.
Do you work in our consolidation tool?
We prepare the engagement around your environment and required expertise. Access, responsibilities and work in the tool are defined before starting.
How are complex accounting matters addressed?
We support analysis and document treatments using available information. Your finance management makes accounting decisions and discusses them with auditors where needed before incorporating them into consolidation work.
How do you prepare the start of outsourcing?
We review scope, methods, historical data, tools and deadlines. This establishes collection, responsibilities and approvals for the first cycle.
