Financial Dashboard Guide
What is a Financial Dashboard?
A financial dashboard is a business intelligence tool that allows finance and accounting teams to visualize, track, and report on financial KPIs. Modern dashboards go beyond simple visualization and reporting by leveraging financial analytics to synthesize disparate financial and accounting data and allow analysts to more deeply explore the data and find insights that will reduce costs and improve profitability.
Financial Dashboard Examples
CFO Dashboard
A CFO dashboard needs to integrate data from multiple systems to give a complete picture of an organization’s performance. This example for a healthcare organization combines data from patient records, finance and operational systems to present cost profiles for physicians and even allows a CFO or their team to drill down to an individual patient level and the resources which were used to treat those patients.
