Spending More Time on Reports Than Your Job?
Spending More Time on Reports Than Your Job?
If you’re a CFO in a mid-sized mining or industrial business, this might sound all too familiar.
It’s the 8th of the month and… you still don’t have your month-end numbers.
No visibility on revenue.
No clarity on costs.
No idea what gross margin looks like—especially broken down by project.
Then, finally, a stack of spreadsheets lands on your desk.
Welcome to Spreadsheet Hell
You open one to find revenue. Another for cost breakdown. A third for margin. Then there’s forecasting in a separate file. Oh, and labour utilisation? That’s buried down the bottom of spreadsheet number five.
It’s messy. It’s frustrating. And it’s slow.
Meanwhile, your finance team is already stretched, burning through hours just trying to cobble the numbers together—let alone analyse them. You’re stuck waiting on data that should’ve already been in front of you.
Here’s the Real Cost
You’re not just wasting time. You’re spending more time trying to get the numbers than actually using them to make decisions.
- You’re not moving fast.
- You’re not confident in what you’re seeing.
- And you’re not doing the part of your job that actually drives business performance.
All because your reporting process is manual, slow, and clunky.
