In today’s fast-paced business world, staying ahead of the curve is not just a competitive advantage, it's a necessity. As an accountant or a financial consultant in this ever-evolving landscape, your ability to harness the power of automated insights can be a game-changer. Combine these insights with historical trend analysis, and you have an edge to advise your clients proactively.
In this post, we'll dive into the significance of benchmarked ratios and how they can help you with the early identification of risks and opportunities.
While we understand that the past serves as a base forecast for future trends, we also know that keeping track of these trends is a task in itself. Sifting through vast amounts of data from financial statements and unveiling patterns to highlight recommendations can take away valuable time from your day.
Having visualized benchmarked ratios reveals potential risks and opportunities long before they materialize. interVal does just this, providing you the insight to relay findings to your clients without delay.
Financial forecasting can be a time-consuming activity, and at times, subtle shifts in key ratios go unnoticed. Having financial trends at your fingertips can enable you to recognize these subtle shifts as soon as possible.
Instead of trying to look for signs of risk or opportunities, spend time creating solutions to move forward in the best way possible (i.e. utilizing a high current ratio to explore expansion opportunities or extracting capital from the business).
With benchmarked key metrics, you can anticipate financial trends and implement preventive measures. This proactive approach will not only assist with risk mitigation and enhanced financial stability of your business owner clients but may assist in providing consistent advisory service to your clients well in advance.
Recognizing ratio trends early across multiple businesses in the same industry will also help you initiate discussions with stakeholders and identify potential outliers within an industry.
