A Joiin alternative for groups with part-owned subsidiaries
If one of your subsidiaries is part-owned and you need its minority share in the group accounts, consider Finconsol. It also suits a group that reports in one currency and wants the translation reserve calculated, or one that wants closed months locked with a change log. Stay with Joiin if price or the number of direct connections matters most to you. At 10 companies Joiin Pro costs $104 a month paying yearly and $130 paying monthly. Finconsol costs $525 a month paying yearly in advance and $630 paying monthly.
Joiin and Finconsol side by side
Each Joiin cell repeats what Joiin publishes on its own website. We have not used Joiin, so a cell that says the point was not found only means the pages we read do not cover it.
| Joiin | Finconsol | |
|---|---|---|
| Connections | Xero, QuickBooks, Intuit Enterprise Suite, Sage, MYOB, FreeAgent, Puzzle, Pennylane, Zoho Books and Fortnox, plus spreadsheets and an Excel add-in. Their integrations page says data refreshes daily or on demand. The Zoho Books connection is read-only and imports the trial balance. | Zoho Books, Xero and QuickBooks Online connect directly, read-only, and sync daily. Excel and any other system come in by monthly trial balance upload. |
| Multi-currency translation | Multi-currency reporting is on Pro and Max, and Core reports in a single currency. Their multi-currency page describes month-end and average rates, from their default rates or your own, and says Joiin automatically adds in adjustments to avoid imbalances and keeps an adjustment record. The pricing page lists advanced foreign exchange with your own rates on Max. | Each company is translated into one group currency at closing, average and historical rates, and the translation reserve is calculated. Rates are suggested from published reference rates and can be changed. This is on every plan. |
| Intercompany eliminations | Chart of accounts mapping and eliminations are on every plan. Their intercompany page describes eliminating loans and transactions between companies or at group level. | Balances are compared pair by pair at account level every month. The amount both sides agree on is eliminated, and any difference stays on a list for review until it is resolved. |
| Minority (non-controlling) interests | Ownership share and acquisition date are on Pro and Max. Their help article, How to set minority interest/ownership share, describes setting an ownership percentage for a company, or for a company within a group, so that reports are calculated to that percentage. | Ownership percentages are set for each company and can change from any month. The minority share of profit is worked out every month for part-owned subsidiaries and recorded by an approved journal. A holding company and its subsidiaries can be reported as a sub-group. This is on every plan. Calculated for direct holdings. The minority of a part-owned holding company does not yet share in the translation of the company it holds. |
| Locked months and change log | Not found on the public pages we read (11 November 2026). | A closed month is locked. Reopening it needs an administrator and a recorded reason. A change log records who did what and when. |

A pack can be approved only once its month is closed, and an approved pack cannot be edited. Packs print or save as PDF and export to Excel. |
| Statistical figures | Non-financial data is on Pro and Max. | Statistical accounts such as headcount, units and stores are recorded for each company and month, added up at group level and used in KPIs, dashboards and report layouts. Five industry packs are included. |
