Innovative Financial Health Reporting for Companies

Desired outcome

Create a platform that generates a yearly and monthly financial health report for businesses. The platform should take standardized financial data as input and output a comprehensive report detailing the company's financial health, indebtedness, credit potential and indicative valuation.

Initial Problem Description

The challenge is to develop a platform that simplifies the process of generating yearly and monthly financial health reports. Currently, businesses face difficulties in understanding their financial status due to complex reporting tools. The goal is to create a solution that allows users to input or upload standardized financial data and automatically generates a clear, actionable report on financial health, optimal debt levels, and indicative company valuation. The team will help in defining the shape and content of this report. The report shall contain financial ratios and valuation multiples. The team shall help link public data basis to the platform and define additional data sources to generate the Financial Health Report.

Context

Businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), need effective tools for financial management. The challenge arises from the need to transform complex financial data into a straightforward, monthly report that provides insights into a company’s financial health, debt levels, and market valuation. This tool should cater to the growing demand for accessible and actionable financial reporting, integrating with existing digital systems and providing clear visualizations to aid decision-making. Based on this report the management of companies will have a better view on their ability to take on additional debt for expansion or development of their business. Additionally, owners will receive information of the value of their companies. This will give them an idea about their wealth and help them plan for potentially selling their equity share.

Connection to cross-cutting areas

Digitalization: This challenge is directly linked to digitalization as it involves creating a platform that automates the generation of financial reports. By transforming standardized financial data into actionable insights, the platform embraces digital tools to streamline and modernize the reporting process. This aligns with the trend of leveraging technology to enhance data accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility.

Input

The platform will use standardized monthly reporting data, including balance sheets and income statements, as input. This data will be processed to generate clear, actionable reports.

There is a growing need for automated financial reporting tools that provide clear, actionable insights from standardized data. Businesses increasingly seek solutions that streamline financial analysis and reporting, allowing them to make informed decisions efficiently and manage their financial health effectively.

Expectations

We expect the platform to evolve into a user-friendly tool that processes standardized financial data and generates comprehensive yearly and monthly reports with minimal manual intervention. The solution should simplify the input of financial information and automate report generation, allowing us to efficiently produce clear, actionable reports on financial health, indebtedness, and indicative valuation for our clients. The final product should enhance our reporting capabilities by reducing manual work and improving accuracy and efficiency.

Desired Team Profile

We seek a team with both IT and financial expertise. The team should include individuals with strong IT skills for software development and data analytics, as well as financial knowledge to understand customer needs and ensure accurate reporting. This combination is essential for creating a user-friendly tool that processes financial data effectively.
