Sommalife is a fast-growing scale-up focused on sustainable food production. Operating through multiple entities and business units, the company is building a future where healthy, sustainable food is accessible worldwide.
With this growth came financial complexity. For CFO Tom Savalle, it was essential to gain control over consolidation, cash flow, and performance - without relying on error-prone spreadsheets or costly implementation projects.
Sommalife worked with a fragmented financial structure. Each month it took days to consolidate figures in Excel, with high risk of errors and little room for deeper analysis.
For a scale-up backed by investors, this was not sustainable: management and stakeholders expected timely, reliable insights - not outdated reports delivered after the fact.
With Finstack, Tom built a fully automated consolidation model in just a few hours, including eliminations and mappings. All entities are connected, reporting structures can be flexibly defined, and cash flow is available in real time.
The finance team now has the freedom to run scenarios, share reports instantly with investors, and support decision-making with reliable, up-to-date data.
Thanks to Finstack, Sommalife now has real-time access to consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. What previously took days is now done in just a few hours.
The team saves time, avoids errors, and focuses on strategic analysis. Investors and management benefit from reliable, timely reporting and increased confidence in the numbers.
