The brief

This is the operation Astraveda is built on — the multi-entity group our founder runs finance for day to day: fuel & convenience stores, select-service hotels and a real-estate portfolio. Like most multi-unit operators, it needed what few have: one clear, consolidated view of the whole business. Each entity kept its own records, the month-end close dragged on for weeks, intercompany entries were messy, and seeing group-wide cash meant stitching spreadsheets together by hand.

What makes this hard (and why operator experience matters)

Multi-entity retail and hospitality finance isn't generic bookkeeping. It demands fluency in the things that actually move these businesses:

What we did

We rebuilt the finance function from the ground up: a standardized chart of accounts across every entity, automated intercompany eliminations, and a documented daily-reconciliation discipline owned by a blended onshore-offshore team. On top of clean books we layered the analytics that drive decisions — fuel-margin and site benchmarking, hotel departmental P&L and flow-through, and a real-estate portfolio view — feeding a single group dashboard and a 13-week consolidated cash forecast.

The result

The consolidated close went from weeks to a matter of days. Leadership now sees group-wide cash and performance in real time, every entity is audit- and lender-ready year round, and decisions — pricing, capital allocation, which sites and properties to lean into — are made on numbers that are current instead of stale.

"This is the depth we bring to every engagement: not bookkeeping at arm's length, but finance run by people who have actually operated multi-unit retail, hotels and real estate."
