Visual Financial Reports.
Buzz words in the accounting industry
What does it actually mean? And why do you need to know how to build a visual financial report? Let’s chat.
A visual financial report is a financial report (think P&L, cash flow, etc.) on steroids.
No longer are accounting reports just numbers organized in columns and rows, but a visual snapshot filled with colorful graphs, charts, and metrics.
Not to mention the descriptive text to ensure your client’s understanding. A snapshot shows the client an engaging and comprehensive story of the numbers instead of just presenting data.
It is easier to digest because it is created with this purpose.
This empowers someone outside the accounting industry to understand what it means.
Financial Report Example
Let’s take a look at two different financial Reports.
A visual comparison will make it easier to see and understand the difference.
With this example, you can immediately see the benefits of a visual financial report!
Which financial report would you rather receive?
Which financial report would you prefer to present to clients?
By offering your clients with option two, you have not only given them actionable data but have made yourself an invaluable financial advisor to your clients. A partner in their business as opposed to just “their accountant.”
Alright. Now you can see how providing Visual Financial Reports will increase your value with your clients. Great!
Your next valid question is,
“How much more time will this take in my day?”.
