I currently run a quarterly consolidation workbook that produces subgroup and holding balances as well as the note disclosures for the audit file. The file grew from a handful of entities to several dozen and now the simplest refresh triggers long pauses or outright freezes. All source data—the statutory and IFRS trial balances—arrives as separate Excel sheets; after that I do manual FX conversion and elimination journals. **The workbook is in spanish ** What I need in this engagement is threefold: • Optimise performance so the file opens, saves and recalculates without hanging, • Transform the two trial-balance feeds into a proper Excel data model (Power Query / Power Pivot or similar) that preserves the existing chart-of-accounts structure, and • Document a clear, step-by-step routine for loading each new quarter’s data so the base reports regenerate automatically while leaving room for my manual elimination entries. Acceptance will be based on: • The consolidated balance and note schedules matching today’s results and account detail reports, • File size and refresh times showing a material improvement, and • A concise guide that lets me repeat the import process unaided next quarter. Preferably no additional add-ins or version features are required.

Hello Sir, Consider it as done. Able to start right now and optimize your quarterly consolidation workbook so it opens, saves, and recalculates efficiently without freezes, while preserving the existing subgroup, holding balances, note disclosures, and chart-of-accounts structure. I’ll transform the statutory and IFRS trial-balance feeds into a proper Excel data model using Power Query / Power Pivot, streamline the existing calculations, and keep manual FX conversion and elimination journals workable within the new workflow. I’ll validate the consolidated balances and note schedules against your current results and account detail reports, while measuring refresh and file-size improvements. I’ll also provide a concise step-by-step quarterly import guide so you can repeat the process unaided without requiring additional add-ins or features. Thanks, Nazmus S

Hi there, I understand you need to turn an increasingly slow quarterly consolidation workbook into a faster, repeatable Excel-based consolidation model without changing the existing accounting outputs. I’m confident I can optimise the current workbook while preserving the chart of accounts, consolidation logic, manual elimination process and audit-note schedules. My approach is to first audit the workbook structure, formulas, VBA, data volumes, dependencies and current consolidation workflow to identify the actual performance bottlenecks. Next, I’ll transform the statutory and IFRS trial-balance feeds into a structured Power Query/Power Pivot data model, preserving the existing account hierarchy and creating an efficient FX and reporting flow. Then, I’ll separate the automated consolidation layer from manual elimination journals so your adjustments remain controlled without slowing the core model. Finally, I’ll reconcile the rebuilt outputs against your current balance and note schedules, benchmark refresh/open/save times and remove unnecessary calculations or duplicated data. You’ll receive the optimised consolidation workbook, structured trial-balance data model, preserved reporting outputs, improved refresh workflow and a concise quarter-end loading guide. Could you share the current workbook and confirm your Excel version so I can ensure the solution uses only features already available in your environment? I’m ready to start immediately. Warm Regards, Aneesa.

Hi there, We can approach this by first isolating the workbook bottlenecks, then rebuilding the two trial-balance feeds into a structured import model that keeps your chart-of-accounts mapping intact. We would also separate the manual FX and elimination entries from the refresh layer so the quarter-end process is repeatable and less prone to freezes. One point to confirm is whether the source sheet layouts stay consistent each quarter. Best Regards, 8veer

Hi, I can optimize performance to ensure your quarterly consolidation workbook operates efficiently. To achieve this, I will first analyze the current structure of your Excel file and identify bottlenecks causing the long pauses and freezes. I will implement best practices in Excel, such as using efficient formulas and minimizing volatile functions. Additionally, I will transform your trial-balance feeds into a proper Excel data model using Power Query and Power Pivot, ensuring that the existing chart-of-accounts structure is preserved. I will also document a clear, step-by-step routine for loading each new quarter’s data. This will include instructions on how to regenerate the base reports automatically while allowing for your manual elimination entries. To get started, I will need access to your current Excel workbook and the trial-balance feeds. Please share any specific requirements or preferences you have regarding the data model. Thanks!

To optimize your quarterly consolidation workbook and eliminate freezes, I would focus on enhancing performance through efficient data structuring and leveraging VBA automation for the manual FX conversion and elimination journals you currently handle. By transforming the trial-balance feeds into a robust Excel data model using Power Query or a similar tool, we can maintain your chart-of-accounts structure while streamlining data processing. My skills in Excel, VBA automation, and data modeling will ensure that the workbook operates seamlessly, ultimately improving refresh times and file size significantly. I have a 4.9-star rating across 200 client reviews and have completed 220 projects, demonstrating a commitment to quality and efficiency. Could you provide more details about the specific metrics you’d like to improve in terms of refresh times?

Yes, this is exactly the kind of Excel “grows up and then starts throwing tantrums” problem we can tame. I’ll tackle it in three passes: (1) performance engineering to stop freezes on open/save/recalc (optimizing formulas, calculation paths, volatile functions, and query load behavior), (2) rebuild your statutory + IFRS trial-balance flow into a clean Excel data model using Power Query/Power Pivot (preserving your current chart-of-accounts structure and mappings), and (3) a repeatable quarterly loading routine that auto-regenerates consolidated balances and note schedules while leaving a safe space for your manual elimination journals. Outcome focus: your consolidated balance + note disclosures will match today’s results down to account detail; refresh time and file responsiveness will materially improve; and you’ll get a concise, step-by-step guide so next quarter’s import is a breeze. Eager to get that workbook running smoothly again, because nobody deserves quarterly Excel suspense.

Greetings, It looks like you're dealing with a growing Excel workbook that’s become too cumbersome to handle efficiently. Your goal is to streamline the quarterly consolidation process by optimizing performance, transforming trial-balance data into a more manageable format, and providing a clear loading routine for future updates. To tackle this, I would start by analyzing your current workbook to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize calculations. Next, I’d set up a Power Query or Power Pivot data model to ensure your trial balances maintain their structure while making them easier to work with. Finally, I would create a straightforward guide that outlines the steps for loading new data each quarter, so you can seamlessly regenerate reports while keeping room for your manual adjustments. With my experience in Excel optimization and financial modeling, I’m confident I can help you achieve a more efficient workflow. Best regards, Saba Ehsan

Hi there, I can see the core issue is not simply a slow Excel file. Your consolidation process has grown to the point where the workbook is doing too much manual processing, recalculation, and data handling. I can optimise the existing model while preserving the current consolidated balances, account detail, and note disclosures. My approach will be to first profile the workbook to identify the causes of slow opening, saving, and recalculation. I’ll then restructure the statutory and IFRS trial-balance feeds into a clean Power Query and Power Pivot data model while preserving your existing chart of accounts and reporting logic. FX conversion and elimination journals will be separated appropriately so manual adjustments remain possible without slowing the underlying model. I’ll also review formulas, VBA, links, volatile calculations, and unnecessary workbook overhead where relevant. As final deliverables you will receive the optimised consolidation workbook, structured trial-balance data model, preserved reporting outputs, improved refresh and recalculation performance, and a concise quarter-end loading guide. I’ll validate the rebuilt model against your current results and account detail reports before delivery so accuracy is demonstrated, not assumed. Could you share the current workbook and an example quarter’s source trial balances? I’d be happy to turn the quarterly consolidation process into a faster and repeatable workflow. Regards, Imran A.

Hi, there! I understand the main challenge is to turn an increasingly slow consolidation workbook into a stable quarterly reporting model without changing the balances, account structure, or your manual elimination process. I’ve worked on similar Excel consolidation projects involving Power Query, Power Pivot, trial balance imports, FX conversions, account mapping, performance optimisation, and automated reporting. I can restructure the statutory and IFRS feeds into a cleaner data model, reduce recalculation load, preserve current outputs, and document a repeatable quarter end process. I’d be glad to review the current workbook structure and identify the main performance bottlenecks. Best regards, George

Hello, As a result of a detailed review of your requirements, I understand that the priority is to preserve the current consolidation outputs while rebuilding the workbook into a much faster and repeatable quarterly process. I have experience with Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot, VBA, financial models, trial-balance transformations, data models, and performance optimisation. My approach would begin with a workbook audit to identify volatile formulas, oversized ranges, duplicate calculations, inefficient VBA, and links that are causing recalculation delays. I would then move the statutory and IFRS trial balances into Power Query, standardise the chart-of-accounts mapping, apply FX transformation logic, and load the cleaned data into a compact Power Pivot/data-model structure. Manual elimination journals can remain in a dedicated input table and be incorporated into the consolidation without being overwritten during refresh. I would validate the rebuilt model against the current subgroup/holding balances, note disclosures, and account-detail reports, then document a simple quarterly routine: replace/import files → refresh → enter eliminations → regenerate reports. I have two quick questions. • Which Excel version is currently used by the finance team? • Are the FX rates and elimination journals already stored in structured tables, or entered directly into report sheets? I’m available to start immediately. Best regards, Carlos.

Thank you for considering my proposal. I have gone through the requirements in detail. I can optimize your quarterly consolidation workbook and convert the existing trial-balance process into a faster, structured and repeatable Excel data model without disrupting your current reporting outputs. I’ll first benchmark the workbook to identify the main causes of slow opening, calculation and refresh times. I’ll then structure the statutory and IFRS trial-balance feeds using Power Query / Power Pivot, while preserving your existing chart of accounts, FX conversion logic and reporting structure. Manual elimination journals can remain clearly separated so they can be reviewed and adjusted each quarter. I’ll validate the redesigned model against your current consolidated balances, account-level reports and note schedules. I’ll also optimize formulas, unnecessary calculations and data structures wherever possible to reduce file size and refresh time without requiring additional add-ins. Finally, I’ll provide a concise step-by-step quarterly refresh guide so you can load new trial balances and regenerate the reports independently. I have 10+ years of experience in financial reporting, consolidation, Excel automation, data modelling and management reporting and am a Chartered Accountant (ICAI) and CPA. I have uploaded samples of similar Excel automation, financial modelling and reporting projects completed by me earlier in my profile.

Your quarterly consolidation workbook probably breaks down at the subgroup roll-up step, that's usually where manual VBA gets messy fast. I can build a macro that pulls subgroup and holding balances automatically and cuts your close time down to minutes. Can start today, done within 2 days. These figures are based on the post as written, we'll firm them up once I see the actual workbook. Want to hop on a quick call?
