How modern finance teams build control into close and consolidation

A Reliable Close in Uncertain Times

Market volatility is putting new pressure on getting the close right the first time. Rising interest rates, FX fluctuations, tariffs, and increased regulatory scrutiny mean you’re being asked to stand behind your numbers earlier—and with less tolerance for error.

In this environment, a slow or fragile close doesn’t just delay reporting. It erodes confidence, increases audit risk, and forces you to make decisions when numbers are still in flux.

Yet many close and consolidation processes still rely on spreadsheets, manual coordination, and informal controls. This may work in stable conditions, but under volatility, they allow risk to build quietly and surface later as audit pressure, rework, and lost credibility.

This guide explores how modern finance teams can strengthen close and consolidation without disruptive system overhauls—so you can move faster, reduce risk, and trust your numbers when it matters most.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How market uncertainty exposes the hidden risk of spreadsheet-driven close and consolidation
  • Where control gaps undermine audit readiness, delay decisions, and strain finance teams
  • What a modern close process looks like when speed, accuracy, and control matter most
  • A practical roadmap to reduce close-related risk while freeing up finance capacity
