Hi Karin

Your problems are not as bad as you think. Adagio FX is specifically designed to combine multiple Adagio GL datasets, as long as the charts of accounts are in synch. That's definitely the direction you want to go, rather than creating a third company.

As for the need to restructure your account/department segments, if you design a decent chart of accounts (one that cross-references to lines on financial statements nicely), then the amount of time spent to do this will pay huge dividends. You can use Dakota Software's Toolkit for Adagio to make the restructuring less painful, since it can process any changes retroactively both to the detail transactions and through to the subledgers. Yes, it costs money, but without it you are looking at a daunting task.
