Financial Analysis and Reporting

KPI dashboards, margin and pricing analysis, and a short monthly report on how the business is doing.

Sales are up. Why does it feel like we are making less?

The kind of question this service answers, using your own records and numbers.

Margin slipped on catering orders: ingredient costs rose and prices did not. Worth reviewing the catering menu next month.

Who it is for

Owners who receive financial statements from a bookkeeper or accountant but do not use them to make decisions, or who suspect some products, services or customers are not paying their way.

Common problems it solves

  • You get a profit and loss statement each month but do not know what to look for in it.
  • Prices were set years ago and have not kept up with your costs.
  • You cannot say which products, services or customers make the most money.
  • Decisions get made on gut feeling because the numbers arrive too late or in the wrong shape.

What you get

  • A KPI dashboard with five to eight measures that matter for your type of business, built on tools you already use.
  • Margin analysis by product, service, location or customer, so you can see where profit comes from.
  • A pricing review that compares your prices with your actual costs and shows the effect of changes.
  • A monthly report of one or two pages: what changed, why, and what to look at next.

How the process works

  1. Pick the measures

    We agree on the handful of numbers that tell you whether the business is healthy.

  2. Connect the data

    We pull from your bookkeeping, POS and bank records. No new software is required to start.

  3. First analysis

    We deliver the margin and pricing analysis and walk you through what it shows.

  4. Monthly reporting

    Each month you get the dashboard update and a short written report.
