Reporting that arrives too late to be a decision
The figures exist. They are just spread across an accounting system, four spreadsheets and a deck, and none of them agree until someone spends a week making them.
The close lands after the decision
By the time the month is signed off, the spend it would have changed has already happened.
Every file has its own answer
The board deck, the lender pack and the budget model each carry their own version of the same month.
Nobody can trace the figure back
Someone asks what is inside a number and the answer is a search through last quarter of email.
Start from the export you already produce
No migration, no re-entry, no waiting on an integration project. Send the file your accounting system already gives you and the mapping is done for you.
- 01Export what you already haveA trial balance or a set of statements. Excel, CSV or PDF.
- 02AI reads the columnsIt works out which column is the account, which is the amount, and where each line belongs.
- 03You review what it guessedAnything unclear is queued rather than posted. Nothing lands in a statement unconfirmed.
- 04It becomes a statement lineAnd it stays joined to the file it came from, so the trail back is never lost.

139 rows mapped on their own. 3 came to you. The file stays attached to every line it produced.
Works with the exports your accounting system already produces.
One set of numbers, three ways to read them
The statements, the ratios and the plan, all built from the same reviewed data. Change the data once and all three move together.
Statements that build themselves
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, assembled from the data already in the system rather than retyped into a template.
The ratios, already worked out
Margin, liquidity, efficiency and burn, computed the same way every month so a trend is a trend and not a change of method.
Budget against actual, line by line
Where the month went off plan, and by how much, with the variance carried through to the lines it rolls up into.
Weighing a renewal, a hire or a change in the rules?
Side-by-side proposal comparison now lives in Evaluations.

Beyond the statements and the budget, the same recorded figures feed the cash forecast, the group view, the checks and the close.
Connect your accounting system
QuickBooks and Xero, with NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Dynamics 365 Business Central in beta. A monthly sync that ties out to the system's own totals, and flags a month that changed there after you imported it.
13-week cash forecast
Opening cash, receipts and payments by week, with a minimum-cash warning on any week that dips below it. A rolling forecast sits beside the budget.
Group consolidation
Entities rolled into group statements, with exchange rates applied and intercompany balances eliminated.
Margin % by product
Cost and margin by product
Unit cost, cost variances and margin for each product, with industry packs to start from.
- Balance sheet balances
- Cash flow ties to change in cash
- Ageing ties to the balance sheet
Automated review checks
Checks run before you publish. Each finding can be assigned, answered or accepted, so nothing is waved through silently. Loan covenants are tracked here too.
Reopening asks for a reason, on the record.
Month close and sign-off
Close tasks, a named sign-off, then the period locks. Reopening needs a reason, and it is recorded.
The half nobody demos
Reporting is only worth as much as the trail behind it. This is the part your auditor asks about.
Report packs drafted from the recorded figures
Pick the audience and the tone and the first draft is written for you. Each line carries its source, and where a figure is missing the draft says so instead of guessing. You edit, finalise and send.

Gap: No figure on record
Every number is checked again against the recorded figures. A gap is named, not filled.
Close the month while it still matters.
The rest of FinPera keeps the record straight. This is the part that tells you what the record means. Built for CFOs, finance leads and the founders who are still doing both jobs.
