Reporting and Analytics
DualEntry generates every report directly from the general ledger in real time. When you post a journal entry, pay a bill, or record a customer payment, the reporting layer reflects the change immediately - there is no overnight batch or separate reporting database to wait for.
What You Can Report On
The reporting suite covers the full lifecycle of financial data. You produce standard financial statements - balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of stockholders’ equity - formatted to standard presentation conventions and ready for external distribution. For internal analysis, the custom report builder lets you combine any dimension (account, company, classification, customer, vendor, period) with any measure (debit, credit, net, balance, budget amount, variance) into tabular or summary layouts.
Flux reporting compares account balances across periods and surfaces material variances that need explanation. Aging reports break open receivables and payables into configurable age buckets so you can manage collections and vendor payments. Multi-currency reporting translates any report into a reporting currency using standard translation methods, with automatic CTA computation.
Every report shares a common set of capabilities. You filter by entity, period, classification, and account range. You drill from summary lines to underlying transactions - journal entries, invoices, bills, and payments. You add comparison columns for prior periods or budgets and view dollar and percentage variances inline.
Organizing and Sharing Output
You assemble related reports into report groups - for example, a monthly close package that bundles the trial balance, financial statements, flux report, and aging schedules into a single export. Every report and report group can be exported to CSV, Excel, or PDF and scheduled for recurring email delivery.
Dashboards give you a live, visual view of key metrics. You compose a dashboard from saved reports, single-number metric tiles, and charts, then share it with your team or embed it in an external tool. Dashboard data refreshes on load and can auto-refresh on a cadence you set.
Access control governs all reporting output. When you share a report or dashboard, each viewer sees data filtered to their own entity and classification permissions. A user with access to a single entity sees only that entity’s data, even on a consolidated report or multi-entity dashboard.
How Reports Fit into the Close
Reporting ties directly into the close management workflow. Completing flux commentary, reviewing aging balances, and exporting the close package are all tasks you can track on the close checklist. Every report respects the same entity, period, and classification filters, so the data in your close package always reconciles to the ledger.
During the close, you typically run flux reports to explain material variances, review AR and AP aging for stale balances, and generate the standard financial statements for the period. You bundle these into a report group and export the complete close package in a single action. Because all reports pull from the same real-time ledger, the numbers in the close package are always consistent with one another and with the trial balance.
