Financial Analytics · P&L & Management Reporting

Every business unit has its own version of the P&L. We give the group one, down to the invoice.

One set of KPI definitions, cost categories, allocations and hierarchies behind every P&L and SG&A view the group produces, from the certified model through to Excel. Every line drills down to the invoice behind it.

The situation

Does this sound familiar?

What is inside

One P&L, from the group total to the invoice

The platform's P&L views, on the same governed ledger as the close and the balance sheet.

Drill down to the invoice

Every line drills from the group total to the entity, the account, the journal entry and the invoice behind it. The number in the dashboard, in the signed report and in Excel is one number.

Group Performance

Growth and profitability by entity, and how many group entities serve each client.

Department & Office P&L

Margin by department and office, with the loss-makers in plain view.

Entity ROIC

Where the return on capital comes from, entity by entity.

Job & Client Profitability

Best and worst jobs, billing realisation and client concentration, for project-based firms.

SG&A and margin, for manufacturers

SG&A across every entity, including those reporting on files, with cost categories, allocations and currency translation done in the platform. Compared with the annual plan and each forecast round, with budget owners following their own budget down to open purchase orders. Product and customer margin.

Works on any ERP, planning system and data platform, from SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365 and NetSuite to OneStream, Hyperion and Anaplan, on-premise or on Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery or Microsoft Fabric, with Power BI and Excel on top. See the full list

Natural-language query layer

Finance questions answered in plain language over the certified layer, each answer traced back to the posting.

Value: recurring cost reduction

Price and rate realisation

Realised price or rate against the price list or rate card, and discount leakage, per business unit and per client.

Value: revenue

Cross-sell signals

One client identity across the group, so cross-sell signals reach the teams that can act on them.

Value: revenue

Churn signals

Revenue attrition and client-health signals per client, early enough to start a retention conversation.

Value: revenue

Client concentration risk

Top-10 and top-20 client share of group revenue, and single-client exposure against agreed limits.

Value: risk avoided

Change-order leakage capture

Delivered work and change orders matched against billing, with unbilled scope flagged, for project-based firms.

Value: revenue

Questions

Questions a CFO asks.

Reporting

Can we drill from the P&L to the invoice?

Yes. Every line drills from the group total to the entity, the account, the journal entry and the invoice behind it.

Do our budget owners have to leave Excel?

No. Excel reads from the same certified model as the dashboards, so the number a budget owner sees in Excel is the number in every other report.

Allocations

How are allocations handled?

Once, in the platform, with the same rules for every entity. Budget owners see the allocated cost and where it came from.

Next step

Bring one P&L line you cannot explain to a thirty-minute call.

We walk through where that number comes from today, and what it takes to trace every line back to the invoice.

We reply within one business day. No newsletter, no sequence.
