Africa50 — a multi-entity close under control
An infrastructure investment platform: multi-currency, multi-entity, with uncompromising governance requirements. Month-end close and consolidation become fast and fully auditable.
Investing in infrastructure across the continent demands multi-entity, multi-currency accounting underpinned by faultless governance. When the close drags on for two weeks and consolidation absorbs dozens of hours, the figures land too late to steer the business. Structuring the ERP brings the close down to a few days and automates the bulk of journal entries, with an ERP ROI that pays for itself in under two years.
