TL;DR: The flow automatically pulls data from accounting, sales, and the bank, joins it, and produces a monthly report with the key numbers. The report is ready on the first of the month, not halfway through it.
Why the report is always late
A monthly report usually gets made when someone manually gathers numbers from several systems, pastes them into a spreadsheet, and assembles the overview. The work is tedious, slow, and error-prone — one wrong cell shifts the conclusion. By the time the report is done, the month is well past and decisions are late.
How automation assembles the report
- Collection from the sources. Data is pulled from accounting, sales, and the bank automatically.
- Joining and checking. Figures are reconciled and any discrepancies are flagged for review.
- Generating the overview. The key indicators — revenue, cost, margin, cash flow — are laid out in a clear report.
- Automatic delivery. The report arrives on time, every month, in the same format.
Measurable results
- Report ready at the start of the month instead of mid-month
- Errors from manual re-keying practically eliminated
- Decisions made on fresh, reliable numbers
FAQ
Can we keep our report format?
Yes. The report is built around your existing format and the indicators you track, not the other way around.
What if the data doesn't match?
Discrepancies aren't hidden — the system flags them for a human to check before the report goes out.
