Groups that outgrow a single-company SME product often look for multi-company accounting software. SwiftBooks Pro Multi-Company covers the common case: a holding company plus trading subsidiaries, or a founder with two to five Ltd companies — each with its own VAT registration and bank accounts.
It does not replace NetSuite, Sage Intacct or group consolidation tools. There is no inter-company eliminations engine, no department or cost-centre P&L slicer, no approval-workflow matrix and no native payroll. REST API access is in Settings → API Access. ;
