TGA Implementation

From first demo to go-live

We make it easy to get started. With our proven implementation model, we handle the heavy lifting so you can quickly start benefiting from TGA.

Step 1

Demo – the first step toward better group reporting

We demystify implementation and focus on understanding your challenges.

Fast demo

Demo in our demo database within 24 hours.

RFP

Do you have an RFP? We’re happy to respond before the demo.

Preparing for the demo

Before a demo, we review your group and can already at the first meeting discuss industry-specific experience and solutions we’ve built in TGA.

Our goal with the demo

To build confidence for a free workshop where we load your data after the NDA is signed.

Step 2

Free workshop

A week that changes everything. We load your data after the NDA and show how Tiego Group Accounting (TGA) works in your reality – with your structure, your chart of accounts, and your questions.

How the workshop works

Group reporting for real – in 7–10 days

The workshop is free and gives you a clear and realistic picture of how TGA can be set up for your group.

With a limited effort on your side, we take you far into a functioning group structure. During the workshop we show how your data behaves in consolidation, identify any challenges, and give a clear picture of how close you are to correct opening balances for material areas such as fixed assets, equity and liabilities.

“Give us 7–10 days and we create group reporting magic.
This is exactly what I would have wanted to be offered when I was a CFO earlier in my career.”

Mattias Elfgren, CEO Tiego

Our working model is that we handle about 90% of the work, while you contribute about 3–5 hours during the preparation week and participation in the workshop itself.

What we look at

Input – file formats, charts of accounts and structure.
Group structure – entities, levels and ownership logic.
Consolidation – full-year logic, flows and eliminations.
Acquisition analyses – PPA, goodwill and date logic.
Intercompany reconciliations – balances and differences.
Management reporting – what you want to actually follow up.
Other – we capture your needs, questions and specific challenges.

Workshop

Half-day where we go through flows, results, insights and next steps.

Your time commitment

3–5 hours during the preparation week
Half a day during the workshop
Total: 6–8 hours.

The outcome of the workshop

After the workshop you have:

  • a clear picture of how TGA works in your group,
  • concrete examples of consolidation and reporting,
  • and a structured basis for the next step in an implementation.

Step 3

Implementation of TGA

We deliver the implementation in three blocks to create control, traceability, and a workflow that lasts over time.

1 Registers & reports
2 Input
3 Consolidation
Implementation blocks

Three blocks that build a stable group model

Each block is clearly defined, easy to follow up, and creates a robust foundation for group reporting.

1

Registers and Reports

Chart of accounts, dimensions and report structure

A demo is run on Tiego’s standard chart of accounts, based on BAS 2020 and supplemented with accounts needed for group reporting. Already in the demo, we discuss which dimensions you want; we always include at least department as a dimension.

Note disclosures Everything is prepared for reporting note disclosures for local and group financial statements
Management report Export to management reporting via our "retrieve" functionality that can fetch all information
Dimensions Department as dimension information (unless you have counterparty in the account string)
Chart of accounts BAS 2020 supplemented with accounts for group reporting
During the workshop

During a workshop, we usually spend just under an hour on Block 1. We’re clear that the client should roll back at implementation start and spend time further developing charts of accounts to the vocabulary the group uses and adding their own result summary levels that match internal report packages.

2

Input

Import, mapping and specifications

During the week Tiego has available ahead of the workshop, most of the time is spent importing, mapping to the group chart of accounts, and creating specifications.

Chart of accounts mapping Swedish charts of accounts are straightforward (BAS standard), foreign ones can take more time – but we have long experience
Transaction data With transaction data, we often get all the way to reconciled cash flow analyses
Audit trail Full traceability – easy to track which changes have been made to reports
Intercompany balances Reconciliation reports and interactive reconciliation between companies

If local bookkeeping needs to be adjusted to reconcile cash flow, this is done smoothly with a journal entry in the system (a posting on the TB matrix). We’re proud to have a system with full audit trail.

With trial balances or report packages it is harder to get all the way to reconciled cash flow analyses, but we can highlight any questions to handle in the next step. As for note disclosure information, it is not usually in focus initially, but it can be followed up.

3

Consolidation

Acquisition analyses, currencies and eliminations

In a demo, we usually illustrate acquisition analyses and how they are posted in the PPA matrix. Shares in subsidiaries should have been specified in Block 2 with the counterparty code in order to be reconciled.

Acquisition analyses (PPA) Posting in the PPA matrix with automatic handling of FX differences at elimination
Automatic currency translation All accounts are translated at the month’s average rate and closing rate – automatically per month
Flow analyses Ready-made flow analyses for the annual report’s note disclosures via retrieve functionality
Impairment of shares Eliminated in the SHA matrix with reference to the subsidiary for correct handling upon disposal
Workshop goal

We eliminate all values posted on shares in subsidiaries so they sum to zero in the group balance sheet overview. The acquisition analyses may need to be revisited later in the process.

Other items that may be included:

  • Mergers, minorities and equity interests
  • Intercompany profit in inventory

Documentation: We wrap up by highlighting the standardized approach that almost all Tiego customers use. The documentation file contains a group overview with accumulated values for all companies "in line": Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Equity flow, Cash Flow, and Reconciliation specification of balance sheet items and acquisition analyses.

During implementation

We continue the work started during the workshop and identify as quickly as possible any differences related to the opening balance for the current year.
