A LiveFlow alternative for consolidation
Updated
LiveFlow is a broad finance platform on top of QuickBooks and Xero. SigmaClose does one part of that job: it combines several QuickBooks Online companies into one set of statements, every month, with the eliminations in plain view.
What each one is
LiveFlow connects to QuickBooks and Xero and offers reporting, multi-entity consolidation, budgeting and forecasting in live spreadsheets, and it also sells its own accounting system. Its pricing isn't published: the pricing page says it's tailored and asks you to book a demo.
SigmaClose reads each QuickBooks Online company's monthly numbers and gives you one profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, with a column per company, an Eliminations column and the combined total. It costs $20 a month or $200 a year per group, shown on our pricing page, with the first 30 days free and no demo needed to start.

When LiveFlow is the better fit
If you want budgets, forecasts and spreadsheet-style models next to your actuals, or your companies are on Xero, LiveFlow covers more ground. SigmaClose has no budgets, forecasts or custom report layouts, and works with QuickBooks Online only.
When SigmaClose is the better fit
- You want the consolidation, not a platform. Monthly P&L, balance sheet and cash flow for the group, ready when the books are.
- You want to see the price first. $20 a month or $200 a year per group, whatever the number of companies or people.
- You want to see every elimination. Each pair is in its own column, and when the two sides disagree the difference shows in Equity and the month-end checks flag it. Read more in intercompany eliminations, explained.
Questions
Is SigmaClose a LiveFlow alternative?
For consolidation, yes, if your companies are all on QuickBooks Online in US dollars. SigmaClose combines them into one profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow by month, with intercompany eliminations, exports and a branded report pack. LiveFlow does more besides (live spreadsheets, budgeting, its own accounting system), so if you need those, compare carefully.
How does LiveFlow price compared with SigmaClose?
LiveFlow doesn't publish prices; its pricing page asks you to book a demo. SigmaClose is $20 a month or $200 a year per group for any number of companies and people, with the first 30 days free.
How do eliminations differ?
LiveFlow's own guide describes flagging intercompany accounts while you map your chart of accounts, so they're left out of the consolidated view. SigmaClose pairs the two sides (one account in each company), removes both, shows them in their own Eliminations column, and posts any difference between the two sides to a balancing account in Equity so a mismatch stays visible.
Can SigmaClose change my QuickBooks books?
No. SigmaClose only sends read requests to QuickBooks. QuickBooks gives every app the same access level, so its connection screen mentions changes, but SigmaClose never writes.
