AARO CPM vs Konsolidat

AARO CPM provides financial consolidation and reporting for organizations with multiple entities. It supports group accounting, consolidated financial statements, analytics, operational management analysis, simulations, recalculations, planning, budgeting, and forecasting. AARO says it can support groups ranging from three companies to a thousand, with users able to analyze data and generate consolidated statements during financial close. The preconfigured Base Package includes an EU BAS chart of accounts based on IFRS, an acquisition register, cash flow, financial statements and notes, acquisition elimination, Excel add-ons, and a dashboard. AARO Integrator imports data from multiple ERP systems, including VISMA, Navision, Hogia, Agresso, NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics; imports can be scheduled or handled semi-automatically with mapping and conversion rules. AARO Connector makes figures available in other systems, including BI, budgeting and forecasting solutions, Excel, and other Office tools. Deployment is available as a managed cloud service or on-premise. Pricing is on request, with demos offered.

Konsolidat is an MIT-licensed, open-source EPM product for finance teams using SAP or Microsoft Dynamics, with an Excel-native interface. Worksheet formulas retrieve backend results into existing workbooks. It consolidates multiple entities and currencies, applies elimination logic, attributes non-controlling interests and groups entities through ownership trees. Its allocation engine handles driver-based, cascading and reciprocal allocations, with iterative solving and traceability to source pools. The product describes driver-based budgets, scenario management and variance analysis; rolling forecasts are also listed as a roadmap item. Dynamics 365 F&O and ERPNext connectors are available, while SAP S/4HANA is offered through a paid pilot. SAP ECC, Business Central and SAP Business One remain roadmap items. The described data pipeline uses Airbyte, dbt and ClickHouse. Security options listed include 2FA, role-based access, audit logging, SSO and LDAP/Active Directory. Teams can self-host on their own cloud or on-premises infrastructure, or use a managed hosted plan. Self-hosting costs nothing and requires operating the software and infrastructure; hosted pricing is $3,500 a month. Automated cash-flow statements and multi-GAAP parallel reporting are roadmap items.
