Advanced Financial Reporting
Advanced Financial Reporting
Available since: v1.0.30
The Advanced Financial Reporting module lets finance teams generate, customize, schedule, and distribute comprehensive financial reports without leaving the platform.
Report Types
The following report types are supported out of the box:
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
| Profit & Loss (P&L) | Summarizes revenues, costs, and expenses over a selected period to show net profit or loss. |
| Cash Flow | Tracks cash inflows and outflows across operating, investing, and financing activities. |
| Budget Variance Analysis | Compares actual financial performance against budgeted figures, highlighting variances by amount and percentage. |
Customizable Reporting Templates
Templates allow you to define a report's structure once and reuse it across multiple runs.
What you can customize
- Date ranges — Fixed periods (e.g. Q1 FY2025) or dynamic rolling windows (e.g. last 30 days).
- Grouping & segmentation — Break down results by department, cost centre, project, or any custom dimension.
- Column layout — Choose which metrics, comparisons, and subtotals appear in each column.
- Branding & formatting — Apply your organization's logo, colour scheme, and preferred number formatting.
Creating a template
- Navigate to Finance → Reports → Templates.
- Click New Template and select a base report type (P&L, Cash Flow, or Budget Variance).
- Configure the desired dimensions, date range, and layout options.
- Click Save Template. The template is now available for immediate use and for scheduling.
Automated Distribution
Reports can be automatically distributed to one or more recipients when a scheduled run completes.
- Recipients — Add individual users, teams, or external email addresses.
- Delivery format — Choose PDF, Excel (
.xlsx), or CSV. - Notification channel — Deliver via email, in-platform notification, or both.
Configuring distribution
- Open an existing template or create a new one.
- Go to the Distribution tab.
- Add recipients and select a delivery format.
- Save your changes.
Distribution settings are stored per template and apply to every scheduled or manual run of that template.

Automate report generation on a recurring or one-time basis.
Supported cadences
- One-time — Run once at a specified date and time.
- Daily — Run every day at a specified time.
- Weekly — Run on selected days of the week.
