Liquid Consolidation vs Solver

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.
