Overview

Longview Close is insightsoftware's financial close and consolidation platform, aimed at large enterprises with complex, multi-entity structures. It automates consolidation across dispersed data sources, including currency conversion, intercompany eliminations, and ownership adjustments, and supports GAAP, IFRS, and other reporting standards out of the box.

The platform provides a dashboard/workflow layer (built on the Longview CRM engine) where finance teams configure close dashboards, monitor process status by workflow step (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Consolidated), and drill into month-end task sequences such as data import, validation, consolidation, review, cash flow, and compliance enforcement. Longview is positioned as configurable enough to reduce reliance on IT and scripting for ongoing maintenance.

Longview Close is part of insightsoftware's broader connectivity, which the company says spans 200+ data sources including every major ERP, data warehouse, and cloud vendor -- with Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Epicor, Infor, Sage, and others named among supported systems. insightsoftware was founded in 2000, is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, and lists Stanford University, Intuit, Orange Business Services, and Veolia among its customers.
