Bespoke dashboards built to your exact business questions.
Beyond standard KPI dashboards, we build custom financial dashboards answering your specific business questions. Whether you need product profitability analysis, customer lifetime value tracking, team productivity metrics, or operational cost analysis, we design dashboards that directly support your business strategy and decision-making.
The short answer
A custom financial dashboard is a purpose-built reporting view that combines financial and operational data—often drawn from several systems—to answer the specific questions a particular business cares about, such as product profitability, customer lifetime value or team productivity. It goes beyond standard reports by calculating metrics unique to that business and allowing the figures to be segmented and drilled into. It’s one function of Cash Flow & Reporting within your Finance Hub — part of a connected back office.

Why It Matters
How it works
Standard financial dashboards work for most businesses, but some questions require custom solutions. A manufacturing business needs visibility into production cost per unit, material waste, and labour productivity—not just P&L. A SaaS business needs monthly recurring revenue, churn rate, customer acquisition cost, and lifetime value—not just revenue. A services business needs utilization rate, realization rate, project profitability, and team productivity. Custom dashboards solve these business-specific questions by combining financial and operational data into integrated views that drive strategic decisions. Custom dashboards are particularly valuable when your decision-making depends on understanding relationships that standard reports don't show. Is it our high-touch customers who are profitable, or high-volume low-touch? Which product is driving customer acquisition but hurting margins? Which team is most productive? Which location has highest turnover? These questions require custom analysis combining data from different sources.
