SigmaClose
Tools to consolidate QuickBooks Online, with prices
Updated
QuickBooks Online can't combine companies on its own, so groups use a spreadsheet, move to Intuit Enterprise Suite, or add a consolidation tool. Here are the tools, what each costs for a group of five companies, and how each one takes out the money that moved between your own companies.
We make SigmaClose, so weigh that. Every other tool's facts link to its own site, read in November 2026.

Pick by your situation
- All your companies are on QuickBooks Online, in US dollars. SigmaClose or Joiin. SigmaClose is one price for the group however many companies you add, reads QuickBooks without writing, carries eliminations through the cash flow and has a read-only MCP server for Claude. Joiin is the closest on price and also covers Xero. See Joiin vs SigmaClose.
- Some companies are on Xero, or keep books in other currencies. Joiin, Fathom, Reach Reporting or Spotlight. SigmaClose doesn't do either yet.
- You also want budgets, forecasts or dashboards. Fathom, LiveFlow, Spotlight or Reach. SigmaClose does statements only. See Fathom, LiveFlow and Reach Reporting compared.
- You're outgrowing QuickBooks Online itself. Intuit Enterprise Suite brings consolidation into the accounting system, at mid-market prices. See what Intuit Enterprise Suite costs.
- Two companies and simple books. A spreadsheet may be enough. The consolidation guide shows how to do it well.
What to check before you choose
Run one closed month side by side
Connect the same companies, set up the same eliminations and compare a month you've already closed. The totals should match to the cent.
Look at a pair that doesn't match
Pick an intercompany loan or fee where the two companies booked different amounts. See where the difference goes. It should be visible, not netted away. More in intercompany eliminations, explained.
Check the cash flow
A loan between your companies isn't cash in or out of the group. If it still shows on the consolidated cash flow, the investing and financing lines are wrong. The cash flow guide has an example.
Price the group you'll have next year
Per-company pricing grows each time you add an entity. Work out the cost at the company count you expect, not today's.
Questions
What is the cheapest way to consolidate QuickBooks Online companies?
A spreadsheet costs nothing but your time. Of the tools with published prices in November 2026, SigmaClose ($20 a month or $200 a year per group, any number of companies) and Joiin (priced by company count, from $28 a month for one company) are the least expensive. Fathom, Reach Reporting and Spotlight start in the hundreds a month for consolidation.
Does QuickBooks Online have consolidation built in?
Not in Simple Start, Essentials, Plus or Advanced. Each company is separate. Intuit's consolidated reporting is in Intuit Enterprise Suite, a separate product without published prices.
Which tools handle intercompany eliminations?
All the tools on this page do, in different ways. Most remove whole accounts you mark as intercompany. SigmaClose and Syft also suggest likely pairs. Fathom, Reach and Intuit Enterprise Suite handle accounts that mix intercompany and outside amounts through a spreadsheet or not at all.
Which tools also work with Xero?
Joiin, Fathom, Reach Reporting, Spotlight Reporting, LiveFlow and Syft all connect to Xero as well as QuickBooks. SigmaClose works with QuickBooks Online only.
Is this list neutral?
No list written by a vendor is. We make SigmaClose. Every competitor's price and feature here links to that company's own page, read in November 2026, and we say where another tool is the better fit. Tell us on the contact page if something has changed.
