Nowadays business companies have a sea of data, metrics, vital indexes and strive to put them together for an understandable picture. Power BI financial dashboard is the key for such cases. To get a plethora of data the interactive dashboard collects all the information and visualizations to your daily updated report.
Financial dashboard will guide you to your financial goals showing the state of your business and financial health.
What is a Finance Dashboard?
It is a visualization tool that makes it easier to identify trends and spot potential issues. Power BI’s advanced data analytics helps our clients look for efficiency improvements, places to cut costs, fraud, and areas for increases in income.
The P&L report is connected with the calculation of sales, gross profit, financial incomes, and expenses to get the net profit.
The main metrics here are revenues from sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit and expenses of the company connected with operational (administrative salaries, rents, etc.) and non-operational activity, financial and other incomes, and costs to calculate net profit. Net profit is the result of P&L.
Cost of sales is not always shown by products, because there are general manufacturing expenses too. Moreover, manufacturing companies can use different principles to define Cost.
The Cashflow report clearly illustrates the situation why the company finishes the year with a profit but with no money in its accounts.
Factorial Analysis
It shows how the sales in units, the price, the discounts, the dollar exchange rate, the production cost, the expenditures on marketing, distribution, logistics, and other factors influence the aggregate financial result.
