Power BI for Financial Analytics
The CFO and finance team see P&L, Cash Flow, budget execution, and EBITDA in real time. No more late nights over Excel consolidations before quarterly meetings and delayed cash gap alerts.
Capabilities
8 KPIs the CFO Tracks in One Dashboard
The CFO should not spend days consolidating financial data from multiple systems every time a management report or quarterly presentation is needed. The Finance Dashboard automates this process — and delivers answers in real time.
01
Revenue and Margin
Actual revenue and gross margin compared to plan and the same period last year. Breakdown by departments, product lines, and clients. Where margin is above or below target — visible immediately.
02
P&L (Profit & Loss Statement)
Full P&L in real time: revenue, cost of goods, gross profit, EBITDA, operating expenses, net profit. Plan vs. actual comparison per line item. Drill-down to cost item or department level.
03
Cash Flow and Forecast
Cash movement: inflows, outflows, current balance. Liquidity forecast for 30/60/90 days. Automatic alert when approaching the minimum operating buffer — a cash gap risk signal.
04
Budget Execution
Current budget utilization for revenues and expenses by line item and department. Plan vs. actual variances. Year-end forecast — before the quarter closes, you already know whether you're on track.
05
Accounts Receivable
Receivables aging breakdown: up to 30, 30–60, 60–90, and over 90 days. List of overdue invoices by client and amount. Bad debt risk — automatically highlighted in the dashboard.
06
EBITDA and Dynamics
EBITDA in absolute value and as a percentage of revenue with a 12-month trend. Comparison with targets and industry benchmarks. The key metric for assessing business operational efficiency.
07
Cost Structure
Cost distribution by category: payroll, marketing, operations, administrative. Dynamics of each category's share in revenue. Where costs grow faster than revenue — a source of margin erosion that needs monitoring.
08
⚠ Profitability by Department
P&L and margin for each department or business line. Which department generates profit and which consumes resources? This is the most critical analysis for strategic investment allocation decisions.
Who It's For
Who Gets the Most Value
Finance Dashboard — for the entire financial function: from analyst to CFO and CEO.
CFO / Finance Director
Full financial picture in real time without late nights in Excel. You prepare reports for the board and CEO in minutes, know about cash gap risks weeks in advance, and manage the budget based on actual data.
Financial Analysts
Your daily working tool instead of Excel consolidations. You see budget variances in real time, prepare management reports with a few clicks — and spend time on analysis and recommendations, not mechanical data aggregation.
CEO / Business Owner
The financial part of the Executive Dashboard: EBITDA, Cash Flow, and budget execution without details requiring a finance degree. You see key financial signals and know when to ask the CFO questions.
Integrations
What Connects to Finance Dashboard
The dashboard connects to accounting systems and sources already in use at your company.
ERP and Accounting Systems
Revenue, expenses, receivables, and P&L data from ERP or accounting systems. Connected via DirectQuery or import — depending on your system and refresh frequency requirements.
Banking Systems and Statements
Cash movement by accounts for Cash Flow analysis. Connected via bank statements in Excel/CSV or API — and we build a liquidity forecast based on actual payments.
Excel and SharePoint
Budgets, plans, and forecasts maintained in Excel or SharePoint. Connected via Power Query for automatic plan vs. actual comparison without manual file updates.
CRM and Operational Systems
Revenue forecast from CRM for Cash Flow planning, client-level receivables from Dynamics 365. Connected to build a unified financial-commercial picture.
Financial data is the most sensitive category. Access is strictly role-based: the CFO sees the full picture, a department head — only their P&L. Data stays within your infrastructure.
