You can define specific parameters such as time periods, accounting categories, and regions to generate reports that are most relevant to your business.

• Advanced Budgeting and Forecasting: Xero Analytics helps businesses create detailed budgets, allowing them to project income and expenses for a given period. Using historical financial data, Xero Analytics can generate forecasts for future periods. This can be based on trends in cash flow, sales, expenses, and other key financial figures. Aditionally you can run different financial scenarios to predict the impact of various changes (e.g., changes in sales, costs, or overheads) on the financial outcomes.

• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Tracking: Xero Analytics allows users to define and track custom KPIs, such as profitability, liquidity, and operational efficiency.

• Visual Dashboards: Key metrics and KPIs can be visualized in easy-to-read dashboards, making it easy to see the performance of the business at a glance. These dashboards provide real-time data on your business’s financial health.

• Cash Flow Management: Xero Analytics provides a detailed view of cash flow trends, helping businesses better manage cash flow by predicting future inflows and outflows.

• Cash Flow Projections: With cash flow forecasting tools, you can project future cash positions and identify potential cash shortfalls well in advance.

• Multi-Period Comparison Xero Analytics allows for the comparison of financial data across different time periods, such as comparing year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter performance. This helps identify trends and patterns in the business’s financial performance. You can easily compare actual results with budgeted figures to identify variances and investigate the reasons behind financial performance differences.

• Visual Financial Analysis: Xero Analytics provides visual reports, including charts, graphs, and tables, which make it easier to analyze complex data and trends. Users can drill down into reports to understand the detailed underlying transactions or data behind high-level results.

• Profitability Analysis: Xero Analytics allows businesses to evaluate profitability across different business segments, departments, or product lines. This can help to identify which areas of the business are most profitable and which may need attention. Easily calculate and track profit margins, giving insights into cost management and pricing strategies.

• Automated Financial Reports: Xero Analytics allows users to automate the generation and delivery of financial reports on a regular basis (e.g., monthly, quarterly). Reports can be emailed to stakeholders or shared directly from the platform.  Xero offers pre-configured templates for key reports, which users can leverage for their business needs and adjust as necessary.
