Setting up a fast close in a multi-entity hotel group

The customer, a hotel group with sales of €15 million spread over several establishments, was experiencing excessive closing times (D+20), frequent data entry errors and a lack of real-time management. The aim was to make accounting data more reliable, industrialize the closing process (Fast Close) and provide consolidated monthly reporting within the first 5 working days. The finance department also wanted to better align accounting with cash management and performance indicators.

Following a complete mapping of the accounting process, we harmonized the charts of accounts and automated the integration of flows from the hotel ERP, bank and billing tools. A standardized closing schedule was set up for all establishments, with tracking of key tasks. Dynamic reporting was developed. On-site support and training ensured smooth adoption. The organization was reviewed, with regular meetings between the accounting, management control and treasury departments.
