AARO CPM vs Liquid Consolidation

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.

Liquid Consolidation is web-based financial software for finance teams that brings accounting data into consolidated reports and forecasts. Controllers, CFOs, and accountants can define intercompany elimination rules; Liquid applies them as new accounting entries arrive and flags imbalances. It maps different account names and accounting packages into a standardized report and dashboard, and rolls operating-company forecasts into a group view. The consolidation page states that there is no limit to the number of entities and that users can create unlimited subgroups, such as regions or divisions. Accounting data syncs daily, with a manual sync option. Connections use OAuth, and Liquid says setup takes about two minutes without an IT specialist. Named integrations include Exact Online, Twinfield, AFAS, Auditfile (.XAF), Basecone, Lyanthe, Microsoft Excel, and Nmbrs. Pro costs €99.00 per month, billed monthly, for one entity, three users, and three scenarios. Scale costs €249.00 per month, billed monthly, for three entities, five users, and unlimited scenarios. Annual payment offers 10% savings. A 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
