The profit and loss (P&L) statement is the lifeblood of any business, providing a clear picture of financial performance. But for accountants, whether it be for due diligence or monthly reporting for a client, manually creating and analyzing P&Ls can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Here's where Strongbox emerges as your game-changer.
Strongbox is a powerful financial data extraction and analysis tool that automates the entire P&L creation and analysis process. Forget spending hours getting data from clients, wrestling with data entry, and manually reformatting layouts – Strongbox seamlessly extracts the necessary data directly from your client's accounting system and delivers a clean, formatted output directly into Excel. This output not only contains multiple iterations of the P&L (sometimes called a PnL), but raw data from the general ledger, cash flow, and additional analysis depending on your service line.
