Accounting is often referred to as “The Language of Business.” The accountant plays an essential role in interpreting that language to their clients. Therefore, small business owners value an accountant who can help them understand the financial details of their business. According to a survey conducted by OnPay of 1,085 managers and small business owners, accountants are small business owners’ most trusted advisors for a wide range of business advice. They’re more trusted than lawyers, bankers, friends, or family.
But interpreting financial reports can be a complicated process for many business owners. That’s where Reach Reporting comes in. Reach Reporting provides the tools to create beautiful, easy-to-understand financial reports for your clients. The goal is to absorb complexity and enhance your advisory role.
Taking the Complexity out of Financial Reports

This proprietary software helps minimize the time it takes to compile and present the needed information. Reach makes it easier to show your client where they stand with their finances. We absorb complexity for both the accountant and their client.
In addition to building understandable financial reports, Reach Reporting can also create budgets and forecasts to help with business planning. The software’s features include automated visual financial reporting, creating templates that reduce workloads, and interactive dashboards that clients can dive into during meetings or just out of curiosity.
The Beginnings of Reach Reporting
Justin Hatch, CEO of Reach Reporting, explains his experience early on as an Oil and Gas VP: I started Reach Reporting back in 2015 because I had some real accounting challenges in my younger years. I didn’t understand what was happening with my books. What is the balance sheet supposed to do? I only relied on the P&L. I didn’t even know what the cash flow statement was, let alone knowing how to use it.
So when I resigned from the company, I decided to start a business. I thought of all of the pain points I had dealt with and I made a decision. I decided, “If there’s any way I can affect a small business so that they don’t have to endure the pains that I endured, and if I can help them to be more successful, then I will have succeeded.” For this reason, Reach Reporting was born.
How Important is it to Absorb Complexity?
A study from the Small Business Report – Accounting states that 60% of small business owners admit they may not have the finance and accounting skills they need. As a result, they are searching for an advisor to be their financial guide. They are looking for you.
