FP&A and management reporting
The pack is the same seven tables every month, rebuilt by hand, and followed by a week of questions. Covirage produces the tables from the files you already export, checks that they agree with each other and with the ledger, and lets the people who read the pack ask their follow-up questions of the same figures.
A pack that lists every measure every month buries the five that matter. Covirage leads with what moved beyond its own normal variation, explains each with a bridge, and keeps the full tables behind it for anyone who wants them.
Income, cost, margin, headcount and the commercial measures, by the hierarchy you report on, reconciled before anything is shown.
Each measure has a threshold from its own history. What crossed it is on page one, with the explanation.
Directors and managers ask in plain English and get figures from the same definitions as the pack, scoped to what they may see.
Three steps, in this order.
The ledger, budget, sales and any market or operational files the pack draws on.
Each measure is written down once, versioned, and cited on every table and answer.
The pack on day one, and the follow-up questions without another workbook.
Short answers. The Help center has the long ones.
It can sit beside it. The difference is the checks, the explanations and the questions, all on one set of definitions.
Anyone given access, within their scope. A regional manager sees their region; a cost center owner sees their cost centers.
Yes. They are separate workspaces with separate access.
