Keep every output aligned

When the model changes, every report, dashboard, forecast, and budget update is from the same structure, giving finance more accuracy and control.

Account hierarchies & rollups

Group accounts, departments, entities, funds, programs, and business units into roll-ups for management reporting, board reporting, and planning. 

  • Build account groupings for revenue, expenses, margins, and KPIs
  • Create rollups for departments, entities, funds, programs, or business units
  • Update structures once and use them across reports and analysis
