Home / Business intelligence
Your accounting system already holds everything needed to run the business properly. The problem is that it holds it in a form nobody reads, arriving six weeks late, in a report that answers a question nobody asked. Business intelligence is the work of turning that into a small number of figures you look at on purpose.
One screen, pulling straight from your accounting system, showing where the business is right now. No spreadsheet to update and nobody to ask.
The numbers with a person attached. A short pack that says what happened, why, and what we would do about it, delivered on a fixed date each month.
When something looks wrong and nobody can say why. We go into the detail and come back with the answer, in writing.
The hard part of business intelligence is not the software, it is deciding what to measure. A distributor, a law firm and a manufacturer need entirely different figures. We pick yours with you and then leave the rest out.
A dashboard on bad data is worse than no dashboard, because now the wrong number carries authority. Because the same office does your processing, we know what the figures are standing on.
Debtor days, revenue per employee, customer concentration, quote to win rate, staff cost as a share of revenue. The measures that predict next quarter rather than describe last one.
We work with what you already run, whether that is Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or Zoho. If a change genuinely would help we will say so, and we will say why.
Every business is different, but these come up again and again, and almost nobody is tracking them at the point they would have been most useful:
If more than three of those are numbers you could not produce this week, that is the conversation to have. It is free and it takes half an hour.
