Profit Plan is all about growing and managing your business.  Financials are the tools that tell the tale before and after the fact.  Here we will be focusing on the management reports that help you stay on track once the path has been laid.  The following subset of Profit Plan's standard reports are discussed here as they focus primarily on performance measurement.

Industry Standards

This essential input form is the source for comparative information appearing on tools like Impact Analysis and the Ratio Analysis Reports.  Comparing the firm's performance to its industry is really the only way to judge its management staff.
 

Income Statement Variance Reports

Use these to enter and track financial and productivity measures on a Monthly, Quarterly, Semiannual, or Annual basis.  Here you are focusing on the bottom line ability to produce profits.
 

Balance Sheet Variance Report

Use this to enter balance sheet performance and track key balance sheet parameters.  Are Accounts Receivables tracking or growing?  Maybe talk to the Collections Department?  How about Inventory levels?  Production keeping tight controls?  Etc.
 

Cash Flow Variance Report

All those variances in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet come together in this report.  Here the tale is recast to focus on cash flow and the resulting cash balance.  The FASB95 Indirect Cash Flow format is used, grouping the results into operating, investing, and financing activities.
 

Cash Budget Variance Report

This report is the management companion to the Cash Budget.  Like the Cash Flow Variance Report, it derives its data directly from the Income and Balance Sheet variance reports.
 

Loan Variance Reports

This unique report shows the impact of changes in rates, payments and draws on the length and cost of the loan over the entire planning horizon.  Will it pay off on schedule?  Should we pay down now?   What did that missed payment really cost?
 

Executive Summary Reports

This report attempts to put it all together in a single report for you, the CEO, CFO or business consultant.  Here are many of the key management performance measures that track your firm's performance, and therefore yours.
 

Comparative Financial Performance

This report is the graphical equivalent of the Diagnostics Report.  It compares the firm's performance on key ratios with industry standards and presents that performance graphically in an eleven page printable report.  Possible sources of business problems and their solutions are included with many of these ratios in the report write-up.
 

Ratio Analysis Reports

This specially designed "drill-down" report is both a management and a planning tool.  It includes the current industry standards, for comparison.  Time trends can be charted from this report for control and planning review.  The ratios themselves can be used in some instances as forecast assumptions. 

Some especially key ratios are included on this report.  Personnel Productivity, Z-scores, and Sustainable Growth factors are just three.
