Reporting and insights

Reporting and insights: ask the question, get the answer

Finance teams analyse spend through a full report suite and by asking questions in everyday language. Dynamic reporting, organisation-wide analysis, exception and variance detection, and management information you can share.

Natural-language reporting

Ask in plain English and get charts, tables and summaries in seconds, without building a report.

A full report suite

Search, filter and export any view. Schedule PDF reports weekly or monthly to the people who need them.

Controlled visibility

Line managers see their teams, finance sees the organisation, auditors see everything read-only.

Finance Copilot

Dynamic reporting without the report builder

Top spend by user, travel by department, claims over £500, pending approvals with value, new vendors this quarter, a breakdown of entertainment by month. Ask, refine, share. The copilot returns live data with charts and tables and can schedule the answer as a recurring report.

  • Popular prompts to get started, follow-up questions to dig in
  • Variance, trend, exception and unusual-spend analysis
  • Export to Excel, share in Teams or schedule monthly

Insights

See where the money goes, and where it is leaking

Dashboards for spend, approvals and activity give finance and budget holders real-time visibility of spending patterns and exceptions. Approval audit exports quantify cycle times and bottlenecks, and duplicate reports catch what would otherwise be paid twice.

  • Organisation-wide analysis with entity, department and tag breakdowns
  • Approval audit: time to submit, time to approve, first-pass rates
  • Duplicate report with auto-merge at user and organisation level

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to us and we'll answer within a working day.

Who can see what in the reporting?
Access is controlled by role and organisation. Claimants see their own data, line managers their teams, finance the organisation, and auditors everything read-only. The Finance Copilot runs against isolated, read-only reporting data scoped to the user and organisation.
Can we get reports without logging in?
Yes. Schedule PDF reports weekly or monthly to any recipients, and the Finance Copilot can schedule an answer as a recurring report in Teams or email.
How current is the data?
Operational reports are live. The copilot's reporting data is refreshed hourly from a dedicated snapshot, which keeps the main application fast and the analysis isolated.

Bring a question you cannot answer today

We will answer it live from sample data in the demo, then show you how to schedule it.
