Hit your financial plan, every time

The business is growing (congrats!). But suddenly it's complex with many leaders, teams, and swim-lanes And your aggressive growth & financial targets require oh-so-many things to line up. How do you create sanity out of the complexity & keep your team meeting (or beating) plan?

Scorecards are the way.

This financial P&L scorecard will, in seconds, give you a holistic view across your company and let you identify what's on track & what needs attention. And, because it's in Daydream, you can quickly diagnose and action issues.

Brought to you by Sarah Riley, VP Finance & Strategy at dbt who's helped take rocketships like Zoom, Okta, & Salesforce through their IPOs. Keep an eye on this space.

Why is this template helpful?

  1. Operate in lockstep to meet or beat your company-wide plan. Ensure your leaders across the company are executing in lockstep.

  2. Gain full-company visibility. Build a unified view that connects teams and data sources.

  3. Identify & address issues early. Flag issues that might need attention, and follow up with the team inline.

  4. Distill complexity into simplicity. Turn impossible-to-wrangle chaos into a well-oiled machine you can survey at a glance.

  5. Save time, effort, and see your data live. Why wait for a once a month screenshot that takes days to produce when you can see your data live?
