Most finance reporting is a month-end pack that arrives two weeks late. This template is the daily version: the handful of figures a finance lead or owner checks every morning, and the two charts a board asks for every quarter. It reads from your accounting system, so the numbers match the ledger by definition.
Connect Xero, QuickBooks or your ERP, add the budget from a spreadsheet, and the budget-vs-actual view builds itself. Bank balances and open invoices come straight from the ledger; the 13-week forecast is a calculated series from receivables ageing and known payables.
Salary and margin columns are usually restricted with column-level permissions, so department heads see their own budget line without seeing anyone else’s. See what a gross margin figure should and should not include before you publish it.
A finance lead types "why did gross margin drop in September?" and Klayara AI answers with a real chart within their permissions; the formula assistant writes measures such as "revenue minus cost of sales" as a calculated column and explains any inherited formula. The Friday cash summary can go out automatically by email, WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram. For cash on its own page, start from the cash flow dashboard template; for variance by department, the budget vs actual template.
- Finance leads who want to stop building the Friday cash spreadsheet by hand.
- Owners who check the bank balance every morning and want the context around it.
- Department heads who need their own budget line, updated, without seeing the whole ledger.
