Why Dynamic Financial Reporting Matters - Especially During Economic Downturn

There’s a huge cost when companies don’t have access to their financial data. Making the wrong decision based on bad data, or no data at all can be death to a business. Especially in uncertain economic times like today, dynamic financial reporting is a MUST!COVID19 has changed the global economic landscape. It’s made it that much more important that organizations have real-time visibility into their financial health via dynamic financial reporting. You simply can’t drive a bus by looking in the rearview mirror. The same is true with your company's financials. Dynamic Financial Reporting is an absolute necessity, especially during an economic downturn. It empowers business leaders to:

1

Foresee problems & opportunities earlier

2

Adjust to future business needs

3

Avoid potentially damaging decisions

4

Move at the speed of the market instead of lagging behind

Why Dynamic Financial Reports Matter Now More Than Ever

       
• Business leaders must have visibility into their company’s financial health in real-time daily to make critical decisions during these challenging times.
       
• Managers must have a single source of truth in their data to create a coordinated response.
       
• Time is money, especially now. Rather than wasting time trying to find data, team leaders need to be able to spend their time analyzing data to make the best decisions. The more tasks which can be automated, the more time which is freed up for managers to innovate and find additional ways to generate revenue where they otherwise may be losing money.
       
• A global pandemic creates an operational risk that must be managed from the top of the organization as it affects every department.
       
• Decisions must be made based on data, understanding strategies may need to pivot and change as revenues drop.

While dynamic financial reporting is a must right now, there are important differences to consider between reporting software solutions:

1

Total cost of ownership – from implementation cost to having reports in hand.

2

Ease of use - can everyone use or is it limited to IT.

3

Business disruption – how much time is involved from implementation to creating reports.

4

Report distribution ease – can reports be easily delivered to key decisions makers.
