Financial reporting

From raw accounts to clear reports, automatically.

Turn management accounts, bank statements and ledgers into standard reports, ratios and commentary without rebuilding spreadsheets every month.

Standard layout
whatever format the figures arrive in
Every number
traceable to its source line
Draft commentary
ready for a person to review

Every month someone exports figures, copies them into a spreadsheet, fixes the formats and writes the same commentary again. For accountants and auditors, client figures arrive in a different layout every time.

We automate the whole chain. Figures are read from your accounting system, statements or client files, mapped to a standard layout, checked and turned into reports, ratios and first-draft commentary, with every number traceable to its source.

Questions

Before you ask.

Common packages such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and many ERPs, plus exported trial balances, spreadsheets and bank statements.

Yes. That is its main job. Each client's figures are mapped to your standard layout once, and new or unusual accounts are flagged.

The AI drafts it from the figures and your notes, and a person always reviews and edits it before it is shared.

Haystack Tax prepares tax returns for accounting firms. This solution covers management and financial reporting, and the two can share the same mapped figures.
