Financial dashboards and key performance indicators tailored to business objectives.
Overview
How we help with KPI & Performance Reporting
Most dashboards report everything and change nothing. A useful one carries a handful of measures that someone can act on this month.
We work out which indicators genuinely drive your results (conversion rate, utilisation, average order value, gross margin by line, debtor days, revenue per head) and build a dashboard around those, with targets and trend rather than a single month in isolation.
Reporting runs on a fixed cycle so the numbers arrive when decisions are being made, and each measure has an owner who can influence it.

FAQs
KPI & Performance Reporting: common questions
How many KPIs should we track?
Usually five to eight at management level. Beyond that, attention spreads too thin and nothing gets acted on.
Can this pull from our operational systems?
Yes. The most useful dashboards combine financial data with operational measures from your CRM, EPOS or job management system.
We don't have clean operational data yet, can you still build a dashboard?
Yes, though the first cycle usually involves as much data clean-up as reporting. We start with whatever's reliable today, financial data is normally in the best shape, and add operational measures as their source systems are sorted out.
How is this different from the management accounts we already get?
Management accounts are a full financial pack produced monthly or quarterly. A KPI dashboard is a small set of leading indicators, often non-financial, tracked more frequently so a problem shows up before it reaches the numbers. Most clients use both together.
