Why we compare consolidation suites on these topics
| Topic | Konsolidator | Control.dev |
|---|---|---|
| 01 The monthly group view from the ledgers you keep | Trial balances synced, or uploaded from Excel Konsolidator’s integrations sync trial balances and map them by account number, name and dimension1, and a group without a connected ledger can upload a trial balance from Excel2. | The general ledger imported, every figure open to its entries Control.dev imports each entity’s general ledger with read-only access by default, keeps the eliminations in their own column and Currency CTA and Elimination CTA apart, and opens every group figure to the transactions behind it. |
| 02 Implementation: how long, who does it, what it costs | Scoped onboarding with a one-time fee Konsolidator scopes onboarding before signing and runs it in setup, consolidation and reporting stages3, with 50 to 200 hours over two to three months4 and a one-time fee of about one to two times the yearly subscription5. | Set up by our team, most live in under two hours, no fee Our team sets up the integrations and the account mapping, most companies have live data in under two hours, and there is no setup fee and no consultants to pay, with consolidation and currencies in the plan. |
| 03 Contract and cost of change | A yearly fee, six months’ notice to a quarter end Konsolidator charges a yearly subscription fee set in the order form, which can be indexed by up to 5% a year6, and either side can end the subscription with six months’ written notice to the end of a calendar quarter7. | Public prices, no multi-year contract, a notice period from one month EUR 249, 499 and 999 a month excluding VAT are on the pricing page, billing is monthly, and fees can rise once a year with 30 days’ notice. The 30-day free trial runs on your own ledgers, with up to three integrations. |
| 04 Statutory depth against the monthly view | Minority shares, investments and sub-groups in the tool Konsolidator lists intercompany eliminations, elimination of investments in subsidiaries, minority share calculation, currency translation, GAAP and IFRS, and consolidation of groups and sub-groups8. | Full consolidation of connected entities, minority interests by manual entries Intercompany eliminations, currency translation and CTA are calculated for every connected entity, minority interests are handled with group-level manual entries today, and Control.dev has no disclosure, IFRS 16 or multi-GAAP module. |
| 05 Planning and AI on the group numbers | An FP&A add-on, AI Insight announced Konsolidator’s FP&A add-on offers algorithm-based budgeting, rule-based forecasting and scenario analysis9, and it announced AI Insight, plain-language questions over MCP, in June 202610. | Three statements planned on the group, Claude on the same numbers The P&L, balance sheet and cash flow are planned together in locked versions, and Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, connected over MCP, drafts values with a reason on each, reviews a month’s bookings and drafts the board pack. The client starts from the statements and the group structure, not a raw export of the general ledger, and traces what it finds to the entries. |
Control.dev consolidates the ledgers a group already runs into one group view with eliminations.
Where Konsolidator is the better choice
- Groups that need minority share calculation, elimination of investments in subsidiaries and sub-group consolidation in the tool8. Control.dev handles minority interests with group-level manual entries.
- Teams that want a partner to onboard them, or whose auditor works in Konsolidator’s product for auditors1112.
- Groups on Business Central, Sage, Exact or SAP S/4HANA13, or with an entity that can only send a trial balance in Excel2.
When teams look at Control.dev
From what finance teams have told us about the moment they started looking. We name no customers.
- Group figures are combined by copy and paste every month, and intercompany items are not eliminated before the numbers go to the board.
- Statutory group accounts are built once a year in a workbook, and the group wants the same view every month.
Which fits your finance team
Choose Konsolidator if you want minority shares, investments and sub-groups calculated in the tool, onboarded by Konsolidator or a partner, with a product for your auditor.
Choose Control.dev if you want the monthly group view built from the general ledger, every figure open to its entries and your own AI client on the group, with no onboarding fee and monthly billing.
30 minutes on your ledgers and your first question.
Working with Control.dev
- Live in hours or days, not months Our team sets Control.dev up with you. Most companies have live data in under two hours from the first call, a larger group takes days, the hardest a few weeks, and there is no setup fee at any size. The comparison hub shows how long each vendor says its own rollout takes.
- Prices on one page, nothing billed on the side EUR 249, 499 and 999 a month excluding VAT, on the pricing page, with no multi-year contract and a notice period from one month. Support, user changes and settings changes are in the price, and nothing is billed per ticket or per request.
- Close support from the people who build the product Your questions go to the team that builds Control.dev, most are answered within minutes and almost all the same day, and we work through accounting and group-structure questions with you, not only software questions.
- Your AI client on a structure built for group accounting Claude, ChatGPT or Codex works on Control.dev over an MCP built and tested for group accounting. The client starts from the statements and the group structure, not a raw export of the general ledger: it finds what needs attention and traces it to the entries, within the access your role allows.
- Built with the finance teams that use it, at pace Our roadmap comes from our customers, demanding finance professionals, and a gap in a feature list is the best news we can get. A missing feature typically ships in days and a larger one in weeks. A ledger connector we would build anyway comes at no extra cost; today Control.dev connects Netvisor, Procountor, Easor (Talenom), Fortnox, Spiris (formerly Visma eEkonomi), Tripletex, e-conomic, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo, Xledger and NetSuite, plus Stripe.
- A younger product, and who it is for Control.dev is built by Finata Oy in Helsinki since 2024, by a team from finance roles and finance systems. It fits a team that already works with AI tools, or wants to, and would rather not keep data engineers or system consultants for its reporting. If AI is not something your company wants to work with, we are probably the wrong partner, and where another tool covers more than Control.dev, the page above says so.
What switching looks like
- 1 Run both side by side for a period. Control.dev reads your ledgers with read-only access by default, so Konsolidator and your ledgers stay as they are while you compare the numbers. The 30-day free trial covers up to three integrations.
- 2 Send us screenshots of the three or four reports your board already knows, and we rebuild them in Control.dev first, so the first month looks familiar.
- 3 Your contract and notice period decide when you leave the current tool. Control.dev has no implementation fee and no multi-year contract, and its notice period starts from one month, so the parallel run can start well before then.
Questions
Is Control.dev an alternative to Konsolidator?
For the monthly group view, yes. If you need minority shares and sub-groups calculated in the tool, with partner onboarding, Konsolidator covers more of that811. If you want the eliminations and CTA in view, every figure open to its entries and the three statements planned on the same numbers, Control.dev is built for that.
What do setup and later changes cost?
With Control.dev, our team sets up the integrations and the mapping with no setup fee, and most companies have live data in under two hours; Inven connected its sources and ran its first automated sync in hours. Later changes to a mapping, a layout or a dashboard are made by your team or its AI client, with no consultants to pay. Konsolidator’s pricing page lists four tiers without published prices and puts onboarding at 60 to 120 days, with a one-time fee of about one to two times the yearly subscription5. Control.dev publishes its monthly prices, excluding VAT: EUR 249 for one entity and one integration, EUR 499 for consolidation with three integrations and EUR 999 with five, where a Stripe connection counts as one integration, with no implementation fee, no multi-year contract and a notice period from one month.
Can we use Claude or ChatGPT on the group data?
With Control.dev, yes, today: Claude, ChatGPT and Codex work with the consolidated group over MCP in every plan, draft the budget with a reason on every value and review a month’s bookings on request. The client starts from the statements and the group structure, not a raw export of the general ledger. The product docs show how to connect each client. Konsolidator announced AI Insight over MCP in June 2026 for customers of its data management product10, and its pricing page lists Talk with your data as an add-on14.
Can our accounting firm or auditor work with it?
Konsolidator works with partners, some of whom onboard their customers themselves11, and offers a product for auditors12. Accounting firms can also offer Control.dev to their group clients through our partner programme, and every elimination in Control.dev is an entry your auditor can open like any other posting.
Which ledgers do Konsolidator and Control.dev connect?
Konsolidator lists e-conomic, Business Central, QuickBooks, Sage, Fortnox, Xero, Exact, PowerOffice, 24SevenOffice, NetSuite, Visma.net and SAP S/4HANA13, and builds new integrations on request at no extra cost15. Control.dev connects Netvisor, Procountor, Easor (Talenom), Fortnox, Spiris (formerly Visma eEkonomi), Tripletex, e-conomic, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo, Xledger and NetSuite, plus Stripe. Compare both lists with your own.
Where is the data stored?
Control.dev’s data is hosted on Google Cloud in Hamina, Finland, encrypted in transit and at rest. Finata Oy’s information security management system is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Control.dev’s own AI features process data in the EU; an AI client you connect over MCP processes what it reads under your agreement with its provider.
What support do we get?
Close support on every plan. Your questions go to the team that builds Control.dev, most are answered within minutes and almost all the same day, and we work through accounting and group-structure questions with you, not only software questions. Support, user changes and settings changes are in the price, and Enterprise adds a dedicated Slack channel and priority support.
