Acute awareness of your business’ financials is essential to success in most competitive industries. Thankfully, the advancement in technology has not only made that possible, it has also made it easy. There has never been a more critical time to ensure that you consistently have a holistic and up-to-date snapshot of your business at your fingertips. Having the visibility to confidently know your company’s financial situation at all times is made possible with real-time data and live reports. Technology has advanced financial reporting and changed accounting practices forever by making a live P&L (a.k.a Profit and Loss) a reality. A decade ago, we might have laughed at the very thought of operating a business with live data flow and trusting an automated software platform to spit out a real-time P&L.
A live P&L is not your traditional financial statement – it’s a far more dynamic and accurate real-time snapshot of your business’s financial performance. Your typical P&L statements are often put together and reviewed after a financial period has concluded. A live P&L, gives business leaders and financial managers real-time insights on demand into their revenue, expenses, and profitability. These lucky folks will make informed decisions quickly, possess the agility necessary to react to market changes, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
