Consolidating financial spreadsheets means data from separate files — by department, by entity, by category — comes together into one live dashboard, instead of someone manually copying numbers between tabs every reporting period. In **Jestor**, this works because dashboards read directly from connected relational data.

Financial consolidation done manually is one of the most time-consuming, error-prone habits in any finance team — and it produces a report that's already outdated the moment it's finished.

## What manual consolidation costs finance teams

- Hours spent copying numbers between separate spreadsheets every period
- Formatting mismatches that break simple copy-paste consolidation
- A consolidated report that's stale the moment it's compiled
- No single source of truth when different spreadsheets show conflicting numbers

## How dashboard-based consolidation works

- Existing financial spreadsheets can be uploaded as connected, relational tables
- Data from multiple sources (departments, entities, cost centers) feeds one dashboard
- Composite indicators can combine figures across more than one connected table
- Updates happen live, without a manual export-and-merge cycle

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Consolidation happens automatically once data is connected, not manually each period
- Native Omie and Conta Azul integration adds ERP data into the same dashboard
- Non-technical finance staff can build or adjust the dashboard themselves
- Removes the recurring manual task that consolidation traditionally requires

| Manual consolidation            | Dashboard-based consolidation |

| Copy-paste between spreadsheets | Live, connected data          |
