From Fragmented Spreadsheets to a Single Source of Truth for Legal Entity Data
A fast-growing multinational shaped by acquisitions
Our client is a fast-growing multinational group that now manages around 50 legal entities across several jurisdictions, many of them added through a series of recent acquisitions. Corporate compliance sits with a single person, while teams across tax and finance rely on accurate entity data for their reporting and day-to-day decisions. The group is also running a legal entity rationalisation project, merging and dissolving entities across jurisdictions. That makes both current accuracy and full historical visibility of every change essential.
This is how a fast-growing group brought its legal entity data under control
Around 50 legal entities, multiple jurisdictions, and a one-person compliance function. What this company needed was a single source of truth.
Scattered data across spreadsheets and slides
Entity details sat in one overloaded spreadsheet and the corporate structure in a slide deck that quickly went out of date. The data was scattered and often incomplete, especially for acquired companies, with no central source of truth and no clear ownership. Even confirming who directs a given entity meant a manual check, leaving one overstretched person little room to scale.
One structured system that grows with the group
The team wanted something intuitive and agile that could grow with the business, not another tool demanding perfect data from day one. Aunetic brings all entity data into one structured system and lets the team complete it step by step, which matters most for acquired entities where gaps are common. It gives a clear view of ownership and its changes, and supports the ongoing rationalisation project with full historical tracking.
A reliable, central overview
The group now works from one reliable overview of all its legal entities. Data is accessible across teams, so the manual requests that once landed on a single person have largely fallen away. Every structural change is fully traceable, giving the group the control it was missing and a foundation it can build on as it grows.
