Reporting & Analysis

From close to board pack - without a single pivot table

Taxilla Reporting & Analysis produces management reports, KPI dashboards, and variance analysis directly from the Shared Ledger - the moment the close approves, reporting is available. No manual extraction, no Excel formatting, no 2-day delay between close and management pack.

Why management reporting is always the last thing to be ready

The financial close is done, the consolidation is complete - and then the management pack takes another 2-3 days to prepare. The reporting process is an afterthought, not a by-product of the close.

01

Actuals exported and reformatted for reporting

Consolidated actuals exported from the consolidation system, imported into a reporting tool or Excel, reformatted to match report templates - adding 2-3 days after the close is complete.

02

Variance analysis built manually each period

Comparing actuals to budget and prior period requires manual formulas, pivot tables, and cross-referencing - a process that is rebuilt from scratch every reporting cycle.

03

KPI dashboards updated manually

Executive KPI dashboards are updated by pasting numbers from ERP exports into formatted presentations - a manual process that introduces errors and takes hours each period.

04

No drilldown from summary to detail

When CFOs want to understand what drove a consolidated variance, FP&A must manually compile entity-level detail - the management pack has no analytical drilldown capability.

05

Different report versions for different audiences

Board reports, management accounts, entity-level packs, and segment reports are all formatted separately - each a manual derivation of the same underlying data, with format differences creating confusion.

06

Reports delivered too late to influence decisions

By the time management accounts reach leadership - 5-7 days after period-end - decisions have already been made. Reporting is historic, not decision-supporting.

Close approves → Reports update → Dashboards live → Drilldown available

STEP 01

Connect to shared ledger

Reporting reads directly from the Shared Ledger - when the close approves period actuals, all reports and dashboards update automatically with no manual data load.

STEP 02

Configure report templates

Management P&L, balance sheet, segment reports, and KPI dashboards configured once - mapped to reporting line items, comparatives, and variance columns, applied every period automatically.

STEP 03

Auto-generate management pack

When the close approves, the period management pack is generated automatically - actual vs budget, actual vs prior period, YTD comparisons - ready immediately without manual preparation.

STEP 04

Drilldown and analysis

Any summary line in the management pack can be drilled to entity, cost centre, and transaction level - enabling analytical conversations without manual data compilation.

STEP 05

Distribute and publish

Reports distributed to stakeholders via the platform or exported in configured formats - with access controls so each audience sees the right level of detail.

See management accounts ready the moment the close approves

We will demonstrate automated report generation, variance analysis, KPI dashboards, and drilldown - using your reporting structure and entity hierarchy.

What the platform covers

Management P&L and balance sheet reporting

Management P&L and balance sheet reporting

Standard management account packs - consolidated and by entity - generated automatically from Shared Ledger data when the close approves.

Budget vs actual variance analysis

Budget vs actual variance analysis

Actual vs budget, actual vs prior period, and YTD variance - automatically computed and formatted every period without manual formula building.

Live KPI dashboards

Live KPI dashboards

Executive KPI dashboards updated automatically from the Shared Ledger - revenue, margin, headcount, working capital - always current without manual number input.

Drilldown and analytical exploration

Drilldown and analytical exploration

Summary lines drillable to entity, cost centre, and transaction detail - analytical questions answered in the system without manual data compilation by FP&A.

Multi-audience report configuration

Multi-audience report configuration

Board reports, management accounts, entity packs, and segment reports configured as separate views of the same Shared Ledger data - consistent numbers, audience-appropriate format.

Plan, forecast, and actual in one view

Plan, forecast, and actual in one view

Budget, latest forecast, and actual side-by-side in the same reporting view - drawn from the same Shared Ledger, no cross-system reconciliation required.

What finance teams achieve

D+0

Management pack on close day

Reports update automatically when the close approves - management accounts available the same day as close completion, not 2-3 days later.

Zero

Manual report preparation effort

Report templates configured once and applied automatically every period - no manual extraction, reformatting, or variance formula building.

Live

KPI dashboards - always current

Executive dashboards update automatically from the Shared Ledger - no manual number input, no dashboard refresh process.

Instant

Variance analysis available on demand

Actuals vs budget vs prior period computed automatically - FP&A analysts focus on explaining variances, not computing them.

Drilldown

From group to transaction in one system

Any consolidated summary line drillable to entity and transaction detail - management questions answered in minutes, not days.

Consistent

Same numbers - every audience, every format

All reports drawn from the same Shared Ledger - board, management, and entity packs show consistent numbers regardless of format.

Common questions

Does Reporting & Analysis replace our existing BI tool?
For management accounts and FP&A reporting, Taxilla Reporting & Analysis is typically a direct replacement for manual Excel-based reporting. For organisations with Power BI or Tableau deployments, Taxilla can act as the governed data layer feeding those tools - with the benefit that the data they display comes from the same Shared Ledger as the close and planning modules.
How quickly do reports update after the close approves?
Reports draw directly from the Shared Ledger - when the period close is approved, all reports and dashboards configured to include that period's data update immediately. There is no separate refresh trigger or load process required.
Can we control which users see which reports?
Yes. Role-based access controls determine which reports, entities, and data dimensions each user can see - entity controllers see their entity's data, group finance sees all entities, and executives see configured summary views without entity-level detail unless explicitly granted.
Does it work if we only use Taxilla for one module?
Yes, with some limitations. The automated actuals update and live variance analysis require data in the Shared Ledger - which means having at least Financial Close or Financial Consolidation deployed. Reporting & Analysis can also load actuals from ERP connectors when the Shared Ledger is not the source.

Management accounts ready when the close is done - not three days later.

Reporting & Analysis works standalone or as part of the complete FP&A platform - drawing from the Shared Ledger that connects Financial Close, Consolidation, and Planning.
