Close ROI: serious metrics for intercompany teams
Credible business cases avoid vanity charts. Useful signals are those tied to the reconciliation flow and stable across periods.
Three KPI families
Consolidation labour hours per close, elapsed time until no blocking items outside the tool, and ad-hoc spend tied to intercompany fire drills. Before/after views need the same subsidiary and currency scope.
What software does not replace
Tools do not write FX policy sign-off or business commentary: they secure operational work, logs and rationales that feed your internal investment story.
