I have clients using several forecasting and reporting tools but I find Cash Focus the best. It can be used with any financial package and you can import budgets and actuals. It does the consolidations you are looking for and will save you hours each month.
The contact is Steve Strain from Strategic Focus. Steve distributes Cash Focus in New Zealand and does the majority of the training. Cash Focus does everything they say it does and the quality of Steve's training is worth more than the small saving you might make on similar software. You can get more information and see videos answering all the common questions people ask. There is also a free trial available.
If you want to reduce days of work to an hour or less, I suggest you contact Steve as he is the font of all knowledge when it comes to budgeting, forecasting and consolidating. I leave all client contact to him, as he knows more than I've forgotten.
