Thanks to our partnership work, we also received the Xero Emerging App Partner of the Year Award in 2018.

Because we’re next-level experts at facilitating seamless automation, let’s determine how accurate financial reporting and analysis shouldn’t be a dilemma. In this blog, you’ll find an introduction to what the KPI Dashboard release is plus its features and implementation. It’ll be followed by a comprehensive guide to its customization with a final section addressing the most frequently asked questions.

Introducing KPI Dashboards: A Step-by-Step Guide

Only a few weeks ago, we introduced the Business Overview Reports feature. Now, the newly implemented built-in package, the KPI Dashboards, comes in to boost your reporting and designing. These are a series of pre-designed templates to automate and customize your data to make more informed decisions.

G-Accon's KPI Dashboards, integrated into the Business Overview Reports, make this vision a reality. Let's embark on a step-by-step journey to unlock the full potential of this revolutionary tool.

If you’re interested in using our KPI dashboards, simply download the package from the following link. You can also email support@accon.services if you have any questions.

The first step in using the KPI reports and graphs design dashboard is to make a copy of the file. Because, at first, you’ll get a view-only file. Once you’ve created your usable version of the dashboard, begin with the data contained within our demo file, or “Dummy Data”.

Tailoring Dashboards to Your Needs

Now comes the fun part. You must pull and replace this data with your client data. Take a look at our four recommendations on how to successfully run your new templates:

1. Load the Cloud Templates: Go to G-Accon Extension for QuickBooks, select Load Cloud Template, and then select the G-Accon Cloud template Library. Eight reports await your exploration.

2. Execute and Update all the Reports: These need to be downloaded, applied in a certain order, and executed. Start with the Profit and Loss Report. The next step that you will do is follow the same procedure for the rest of the eight tabs. Execute them without modifications, maintaining the same specified order for all reports.

3. Customizing Date Ranges: Seamlessly adjust the set-up date ranges for all reports at once within the Dates tab. A small yet powerful feature for a clearer view of client data. 

Important: Note that the last tab, the Total Data tab, is very important. This query with formulas allows us to build the dashboard for you in tab number two. Please, don’t delete or modify this tab as it’s essential to make sure that your dashboard’s data is accurate.

4. Dashboard Building: Move to the second tab, where formulas come to life. Apply the templates and your fully functional dashboard will be ready, requiring only a logo change. In tab number one, the company profile and details will automatically update. The only task you have to change is the company logo to your respective logo or client logo.

Streamlining Dashboard Updates

Your next step in customizing this dashboard is automation. This is the key part of the process. To do that, follow these three simple suggestions:

  • Automation and Workflow Creation: Navigate to the G-Accon extension, select "Automation," and create a workflow. Add your templates and name your workflow. You can optionally add a description for clarity too.
  • Configuration of the Settings: Use the Scheduler tab to choose how often your templates refresh. Specify the time and decide if you want a log of operations generated. Upon refresh, you can always decide whether to receive email notifications and alerts.
  • Finally, "Apply and Execute" to finalize the automation setup. Your dashboard will now update automatically, freeing you from manual interventions.

For those looking for some extra customization, we recommend hiding sheets that don't need to be displayed to clients, like the summary sheets. To do this, go to the Dashboard tabs and review your tabs at the bottom, such as Profit and Loss. In this context, we advise to focus on tabs containing detailed reports to be shown to clients

In a nutshell, our pre-designed templates feature default styles, fonts, and layouts but these can be easily customized to meet your customers' expectations. This set of reports will be a valuable tool for easy-to-manage key financial metrics management to help you make informed decisions.

For a more in-depth demonstration of these steps, we invite you to watch our 10-minute video explanation in which our team member Sonia Yazdi illustrates the package implementation.

From Inventory Management to Precise Financial Reporting for Fractional CFO Firms

Recently, we delivered an insightful webinar with a Live Q&A, where Andrew Forte, a certified G-Accon partner and the mind behind DataNow.Guru, shared his takeaways when implementing the KPI Dashboards in his business.

His G-Accon journey started with “inventory management, pulling live inventory data from Xero into Google Sheets, and updating every hour,” he said. This small need led him to “discover its incredible potential,” he confirmed.  

DataNow.Guru’s most popular service is building out G-Accon reports for fractional CFO firms. According to him:

"I think that not a single day has passed in the last seven years when I haven't used G-Accon. The possibilities with G-Accon and Sheets are almost unlimited. And I think that's the main benefit of G-Accon. I know a lot of CFOs out there struggle with whether they should use Fathom or Syft, or whether they should use any mainstream reporting software. However, you're never going to achieve the granularity that you can with G-Accon."  

Andrew Forte, Founder & CEO of DataNow.Guru.

During the webinar, he did a demonstration with different dashboards that are possible within G-Accon. Andrew showcased G-Accon's versatility, presenting diverse dashboards from simple one-page reports to detailed financial statements. Let’s have a look at his highlights.

Turning Dummy Data Into Dynamic Dashboards

Andrew emphasized G-Accon's “unparalleled granularity”. It allows you “to analyze and find specific details that matter to your business,” he mentioned. He also highlighted that “it enables you to see everything from your accounting system in a single spreadsheet, making it convenient for investors and business owners”.

His main insights on bringing dashboards to life with dynamic data were:

  1. Accessibility and Convenience: The platform's accessibility through Google Sheets makes it user-friendly for clients, investors, and business owners.
  1. Customization and Automation: Having the flexibility to create both simple and detailed dashboards without constant updates. Andrew demonstrated the ability to customize colors, fonts, and formatting to match individual aesthetic preferences.
  1. Formula Fundamentals: Addressing the potential challenges with traditional formula approaches is key. Users can apply query formulas as dynamic solutions to avoid errors and misrepresentations.
  1. Dynamic Data Handling: Obtaining ever-changing but steady financial reports, including Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet, which can change daily based on client activities.
  1. Scaling Efficiency: Applying templates across multiple entities while also delivering efficiency in financial reporting thanks to streamlining data parameters and a simple loading process.

Listen to Andrew from DataNow.guru enumerating the benefits of using G-Accon as their daily tool for the past 7 years:

Unlocking Your Financial Insights With Business Overview Reports

Business Overview Reports offer a high-level view of your business's key financial metrics. 

They cover major aspects such as revenue, expenses, profitability, and cash flow. With these reports, you’ll make well-informed decisions based on real-time dashboards and customized reports.

It also means time saved on manual data entry, better accuracy in financial records, and up-to-the-minute bank reconciliations. These reporting tools provide personalized insights into your financial metrics, elevating the value you’ll offer your clients.

From Knowledge to Action: Generating Your Reports

Generating Business Overview Reports is a straightforward process. We’ll get you started with these easy steps.

It begins with signing in to G-Accon for QuickBooks (Or Xero).

Click "Get Accounting Data/Reports” to choose your required report. Here, you'll find the option to select "Business Overview Reports" from a dropdown list, which offers various report types that can be used later as reusable templates.

For instance, if you select the "Balance Sheet" option, you can select the parameters you want. So you can set the date range for your data manually or refresh it dynamically. 

This choice gives you flexibility in determining the time frame for your financial insights, whether you prefer predefined values or specific custom dates.

When creating the Balance Sheet report, you must also select required attributes such as the number of periods to compare, the accounting method (accrual or cash), relevant accounts, locations, classes, and items. 

These selections help tailor the report to your business's specific needs, ensuring you receive the insights that matter most.

Besides these essentials, you can enhance your reporting even more by exploring extra features. Our software offers optional features to customize the report's behavior further. 

Among these options, you’ll find generating the report in a new Google Sheet, hiding grid lines for a cleaner look, displaying negative values in red, creating deep links to QuickBooks for easy navigation, and showing only whole numbers. 

Isn’t it neat? But that’s not all. 

To keep your reports well-organized, specify the template's name, such as "Balance Sheets for Organization ABC," in the "Template Name" field. 

If you’re working with multiple reports, that'll be a significant time-saver.

Stylish Financial Clarity: Creating Reports That Matter

Did you mention flexibility? We’ve got you covered. 

One of the standout features of Business Overview Reports is its pre-designed templates with default styles, fonts, and layouts that are ready for use. Play with these aspects as you develop informative reports to meet your needs.

This level of in-depth customization allows you to create reports that voice your unique brand’s visual identity and messaging.

Using a different currency? No worries. If you need to generate reports in a specific currency, you can select the report’s currency and decide how to get exchange rates. Some options include using the latest rates and custom rates for specific dates. This ensures the versatility your reports need to remain relevant to your global audience.
