Multi-location financial consolidation
Multi-Location Consolidation Service

See Your Entire Portfolio in One Coherent Picture

When you operate across multiple locations, the numbers only tell half the story if you're looking at them one unit at a time. Rivmark's consolidation service brings everything together — so you can make decisions based on what your whole operation is actually doing.

What This Service Delivers

One Ownership-Level View, Every Month

Multi-Location Financial Consolidation from Rivmark brings the results of all your franchise locations into a single, ownership-level financial picture — with intercompany transactions eliminated cleanly, shared costs allocated properly, and quarterly trend analysis included to show you where momentum is building across your portfolio.

Consolidated ownership view

All locations combined into a single financial report — the aggregate performance of your franchise portfolio, presented clearly alongside individual unit results.

Intercompany eliminations handled

Transactions between your locations are identified and eliminated correctly — so the consolidated figures reflect real external performance, not internal transfers counted twice.

Quarterly trend analysis included

Every quarter, a trend summary covers how your portfolio has moved — which locations are building momentum, where costs are shifting, and what the broader picture looks like over time.

The Challenge Multi-Unit Operators Face

Managing Multiple Locations Means Managing Multiple Blind Spots

As a multi-unit operator, your financial picture is only complete when all your locations are viewed together. But pulling that together manually — aggregating unit-level reports, eliminating intercompany activity, allocating shared costs fairly — takes significant time each month and is prone to inconsistency when done outside a structured process.

Many operators end up with a collection of individual reports that are technically accurate on their own, but don't add up to a coherent ownership-level view. Decisions about the portfolio end up based on partial information — which can mean overlooking a location that's quietly drifting, or missing a pattern that only becomes visible when all the numbers sit side by side.

Consolidating multiple unit reports manually takes hours each month and produces results that are difficult to compare from period to period.

Intercompany transactions go uneliminated, inflating aggregate revenue or expense figures in ways that distort the real picture.

Shared costs — management overhead, shared services, group-level expenses — get allocated inconsistently, making location-level comparisons unreliable.

Trend analysis across the portfolio either doesn't happen or is done informally, leaving strategic decisions based more on instinct than on documented patterns.

How Rivmark Approaches This

A Structured Consolidation Process Built for Portfolio Operators

Rivmark's consolidation service establishes a consistent monthly process that takes your unit-level financial data and produces a clean, ownership-level view — with every technical step handled as part of the standard engagement.

Standardized unit reporting

Each location's financials are structured on a consistent chart of accounts — so when they're combined, the figures are genuinely comparable rather than roughly aligned.

Intercompany eliminations

Transactions between your locations are identified and removed from the consolidated figures — giving you a clean, accurate ownership-level result that reflects actual external performance.

Shared cost allocation

Costs shared across locations — management time, shared services, group-level overhead — are allocated using a consistent methodology, so each unit's financials carry a fair share of portfolio-level expenses.

Quarterly trend summaries

Every three months, a trend analysis covers how your portfolio has moved — covering aggregate performance, individual location shifts, and cost patterns that weren't visible in single-month snapshots.

Working Together

What the Ongoing Engagement Looks Like

Consolidation isn't a one-off task — it's a monthly process that builds in value as the data accumulates and the patterns across your portfolio become clearer over time. Here's what working with Rivmark on consolidation actually looks like.

01

Structure setup across all locations

Rivmark maps your location structure, identifies intercompany relationships, and establishes a consistent reporting framework across all units. Shared cost allocation methodologies are agreed upon during this phase.

02

Monthly consolidation & delivery

Each month, unit-level data is gathered, intercompany items are eliminated, shared costs are allocated, and the consolidated ownership report is compiled and delivered alongside individual unit results.

03

Quarterly trend analysis

At the close of each quarter, a trend summary covers how the portfolio has moved across the period — aggregate and per-location — making year-over-year and sequential quarter comparisons straightforward.

What you receive each month

  • Consolidated ownership-level report

    All locations combined into a single financial statement — revenue, costs, and margins at the portfolio level.

  • Individual location results

    Unit-level P&L for each location alongside the consolidated view — so you can see both the aggregate and the detail.

  • Intercompany elimination schedule

    A documented record of what was eliminated and why — transparent and auditable if questions arise later.

  • Quarterly trend analysis (every 3 months)

    Pattern analysis across the portfolio showing how performance has shifted over the preceding quarter.

Pricing & Scope

A Single Monthly Investment for Your Whole Portfolio

$900 /month

Flat monthly engagement covering your full portfolio of locations. For single-unit accounting, see the Franchise Accounting service.

  • Quarterly trend analysis covering portfolio-level and per-location performance shifts
  • Ongoing availability for questions on reporting methodology and consolidated figures

Methodology & Results

How the Value Builds Over Time

The monthly consolidation process is consistent by design. What changes over time is the depth and reliability of the picture it produces — as more periods accumulate, the trends become more meaningful and the decisions they support become more grounded.

Month 1–2

Framework is established across all locations. The first consolidated reports arrive — structured consistently and with intercompany activity properly handled for the first time.

Month 3–6

Three to six months of consistent data allows reliable month-to-month comparison. The first quarterly trend analysis adds a layer of context that single-month snapshots couldn't provide.

Ongoing

Year-over-year comparisons become available. Patterns across your portfolio — seasonal shifts, location-level divergence, shared cost trends — become clearly visible and documented.

Consolidation done properly is not just about having one report instead of several. It's about knowing that the figures in that report are accurate — that intercompany distortions have been removed, shared costs have been handled consistently, and the ownership-level view you're looking at genuinely reflects what your portfolio is doing.

Our Commitment

Starting Without Pressure

Consolidation engagements vary depending on the number of locations, the complexity of intercompany relationships, and the state of existing financial records. Before anything is confirmed, Rivmark takes the time to understand your specific portfolio structure and assess whether the service scope fits what you're working with.

If your situation requires something different from the standard scope — additional locations, more complex allocation arrangements, or specific reporting requirements — that conversation happens before you commit, not after.

The initial consultation is an exploration, not a sales process. Rivmark will tell you clearly what fits and what doesn't.
