Entity, location, and department are first-class dimensions on every projection and every diagnostic. Per-entity visibility for location managers, consolidated rollup for sponsors and CFOs, intercompany eliminations attributed to a synthetic entity so the bridge stays auditable.
Most accounting platforms treat multi-entity and multi-location as bolt-on attributes — tags slapped onto a single-tenant ledger. We treat them as first-class dimensions on every journal entry, every projection, every report.
Define an entity group once. Roll up the four restaurants. Roll up the fund's twelve portcos. Every scenario, every diagnostic, every report can be scoped to a single entity, a group, or the consolidated parent without re-saving anything.
Locations carry parent/child relationships you manage as real resources — not a free-text field your team typos differently every quarter. Houston rolls up to Texas. Texas rolls up to the brand. Every location-aware report respects the tree.
For DSOs running clinical / non-clinical splits, or franchises tracking back-office allocations, departments give you the dimension you need for cost allocation without inventing a new chart of accounts.
When scope is consolidated, the projector runs per-entity in parallel inside the same request — the per-entity slices are independent so this is safe — and aggregates with intercompany elimination hooks. The eliminations themselves are recorded as a special "elimination" synthetic entity so they show up in the bridge and remain auditable.
The drill panel adds an entity column showing which locations drove each bar. The Dallas Plano location is dragging this scenario. Houston Heights is the largest contributor. Eliminations took $11k off the consolidated total — here are the entries.
A scenario can include synthetic locations — entities with no historical actuals — whose ramp curve is borrowed from a chosen historical analog. Add Dallas Frisco, model the ramp on Plano's first nine months, project the consolidated EBITDA impact through year-end. Every pro forma is auditable to the analog it inherited its trajectory from.
RBAC scoping: PE sponsors see consolidated; location managers see their entity. The same scenario looks different depending on who's logged in — not by hiding numbers, but by limiting the scope of the projector itself to what the role is permitted to see.
