Start with the decision
List the decisions your team needs to make each week. A report should answer those questions before it adds more charts.
Agree the definitions
Write down what each measure means, who owns it and which system provides the information. Shared definitions make discussions more productive.
Create a reporting rhythm
Choose a review cadence that matches the work. Include the period covered, the responsible person and the next action alongside each useful measure.
Keep improving
Remove information that no one uses. Review the structure with the people who prepare the report and those who act on it.
Connect reporting to your accounting workflow
Customized accounting software can bring approved expenses, invoices and payment updates into a shared reporting flow. Define the records, calculations and review steps before development begins.
