How do I manage a corporate group?
A guide for CFOs and general counsel running corporate groups of 10–500+ entities across Australia and beyond.
Your first entity is free. No credit card required.
Managing a corporate group means three things spreadsheets can\u2019t do well: tracking officers across multiple entities (so one resignation cascades correctly), maintaining a live ownership graph (so UBOs recalculate as shares move), and running compliance against every entity simultaneously (so nothing falls through the cracks). EntityFlo is built specifically for this — 5 to 500 entities, AU/NZ/UK ready, ASIC integrated.

Join BetaThe three jobs that break when groups scale
At 1–3 entities, spreadsheets work. At 10+, three things break. (1) Officer tracking — a director resigns from one entity but holds appointments on 8 others; you need to know immediately. (2) Ownership chains — when a holding company’s shares move, UBOs need to recalculate across every downstream entity. (3) Compliance — 30 entities means 30 annual review dates and 30 sets of BAS deadlines. Without automation, things get missed.
How EntityFlo handles cross-entity officers
Officers are global. A director appointed to five entities has one profile, one set of identity documents, one Director ID record. Resign them from one and EntityFlo lists every other entity where they hold a position and what to do about each. Consent withdrawal and Form 484 are pre-drafted per entity.
Live ownership graph
Every shareholding is an edge in a graph. Issue shares in one entity and the structure chart updates. The UBO engine walks every chain, calculates ultimate ownership, and updates the beneficial ownership register for every affected entity. No manual reconciliation.
Group-level compliance
The compliance score rolls up. You see the group score, drill to a category (e.g. "annual reviews"), and see every entity scored on that category. Filter by jurisdiction, entity type or owner. Export for the audit committee. The dashboard becomes your governance heartbeat.
How to do this with EntityFlo
Practical steps. No fluff.
- 01
Bulk-import your group
Drop a CSV of ACNs and EntityFlo creates each entity, pulls registry data, and starts compliance scans.
- 02
Unify officers across entities
A person with 12 appointments has one profile. Resign them from one entity and EntityFlo flags every other affected entity.
- 03
Map ownership end-to-end
Shareholding relationships build the structure chart automatically. UBOs calculate through every chain.
- 04
Watch the group compliance score
See every entity’s score on one dashboard. Sort by lowest score or by critical issue count.
- 05
Run group reports
Officer summaries, shareholding registers, compliance status, audit trails — all exportable at the group level.

Frequently asked questions
How many entities can EntityFlo handle?
Tested to 500 entities per group. Performance is optimised for multi-entity operation; the platform gets more useful the more entities you have, not less.
Can it handle multi-jurisdiction groups?
Yes. AU is fully integrated (Integrated with ASIC). NZ and UK are supported with jurisdiction-aware compliance rules. Other jurisdictions are managed via form drafting.
What about trusts and partnerships?
First-class. The platform treats companies, discretionary trusts, unit trusts, partnerships and LLPs equally, with appropriate compliance rules for each.
Can our external advisers see specific entities only?
Yes. Permissions are per-entity, so a tax adviser can see Entity A but not Entity B.
