Simplify your operations and account management using Organisations. This feature provides a centralised view in the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org/dashboard) of all of your business lines or subsidiaries. You can use it to:

- Gauge your entire business’s performance.
- See all of your [transactions](https://docs.stripe.com/dashboard/basics.md#transactions), [disputes](https://docs.stripe.com/disputes/responding.md), [invoices](https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/dashboard/manage-invoices.md), [connected accounts](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/dashboard/viewing-all-accounts.md), [customers](https://docs.stripe.com/dashboard/basics.md#customers), and more.
- Download unified reports across currencies.
- Streamline team management and SSO from a centralised location.
- Perform custom SQL queries with [Sigma](https://docs.stripe.com/data/how-sigma-works.md) across all accounts.  - Create [account groups](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/orgs/build.md#create-account-group) to analyse a subset of your organisation.

## Use cases

Operating across multiple Stripe accounts is a common practice for many businesses. Consider the following scenarios:

| Scenario | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Global expansion** | Create separate Stripe accounts for each country or region to take advantage of local acquiring. |
| **Separate business units** | Create separate Stripe accounts for each independent business unit to isolate operations and finances. |
| **Franchise groups** | Centrally manage franchise locations, represented as connected accounts under a platform. |
| **Company acquisitions** | Acquire another business that uses Stripe. |
