A multi-company portfolio’s reporting problem is really two problems: each company needs its own apps now, and the group needs one reliable consolidated view eventually. We embedded as the delivery partner for both, shipping per-company financial apps while building a natural-language reporting layer over a semantic store of the holdings’ financials. The hard constraint is governance: consolidation has to respect company-level access, so RBAC, audit trails and a data-confidence layer are part of the design, not a later retrofit.

The challenge

PMs, analysts and admins across a multi-company portfolio needed consolidated financial answers without writing SQL or wrangling Excel. Each company’s data was siloed, and any cross-company view had to respect strict company-level access boundaries. They needed both near-term delivery and a path to a unified reporting product.

The approach

  • Embedded as a cross-portfolio delivery partner, shipping per-company financial dashboards and apps across the holdings.

  • A semantic store of each company’s financials with a natural-language query layer for consolidated rollups, cross-company comparison and variance, so non-technical users get answers in plain language.

  • Company-level scoping, RBAC, audit trails and a data-confidence layer designed in from the start, to keep consolidated reporting within each company’s access rules.

Artifacts and handoff

Delivered / in-UAT per-company financial apps across the portfolio, plus the design and in-build conversational NL-over-financials reporting layer with company-scoped governance.

Reported measures and design targets

  • Embedded partner: cross-portfolio AI delivery across the holdings

  • Per-company apps: financial dashboards/apps delivered / in UAT

  • NL reporting in build: conversational query over consolidated financials

  • Governed by design: company-scoped RBAC and audit trails
