#Onboarding

Every new organization follows the same onboarding flow to ensure clean data, consistent financial statements, and reliable analytics. This setup is mandatory and takes only a few minutes.

TL;DR
Upload a trial balance, design your statements, map your accounts. Ready in under 10 minutes.

#1. Upload Data

What you do

• Upload your trial balance using supported formats
• Define company name, fiscal year-end, industry, and currency

Why it matters

• Standardized imports prevent format and structure issues
• Clear guidance ensures correct exports and templates

Formats & inputs

• Additional input formats and integrations will be added continuously
• The onboarding flow remains the same for all future inputs

Validation

• Unsupported formats trigger an error with clear instructions
• You can only continue once a valid trial balance is detected

#2. Design Financial Statements

What you do

• Define the structure of your P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
• Add and arrange Totals, Subtotals, Level 1, and Level 2 positions via drag & drop
• Start from templates or extend the predefined structure

Why it matters

• Reporting reflects your business logic—not your chart of accounts
• A consistent structure enables clean analysis and planning across all companies

You can refine Level 2 positions and account groups later. The goal at this stage is to establish a solid, consistent structure.

#Hierarchy of Financial Data

statycs structures financial data in a clear, multi-level hierarchy. This ensures consistency, transparency, and reliable analytics across all reports and planning models.

• Totals
  • Subtotals (BS & CF only)
    • Level 1 Positions
      • Level 2 Positions
        • (Optional) Account Groups
          • Accounts (Trial Balance)

From top to bottom, the hierarchy works as follows:

Totals
Examples: EBITDA, Total Assets
High-level aggregations that summarize multiple subtotals and positions.

Subtotals (Balance Sheet & Cash Flow only)
Examples: Provisions, Current Assets
Intermediate aggregations used in Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statements to group related positions.

Level 1 Positions
Examples: Revenues, Fixed Assets
Predefined reporting categories that form the backbone of your financial statements.

Level 2 Positions
Examples: Personnel Expenses, Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE)
Customizable positions where you structure your business-specific reporting.

(Optional) Account Groups
Optional grouping layer between Level 2 positions and individual accounts.
Used for better structuring, analysis, and planning drivers.

Accounts
Imported directly from your trial balance.
These are the lowest-level data points in the hierarchy.

#Mapping Rule

Accounts are always mapped to Level 2 positions.
Mapping to Totals, Subtotals, or Level 1 positions is not possible.

This ensures a consistent structure and enables reliable analysis, planning, and consolidation.

#Predefined Level 1 positions

Level 1 positions are predefined to ensure standardized financial logic and reliable analytics. These positions cannot be removed.

P&L

• Revenues
• Other Output
• Direct Costs
• Operating Expenditure
• Other Operating Income
• Depreciation & Amortization
• Net Interest
• Other Income / Loss
• Non-recurring Items
• Tax Expense

Balance Sheet

• Fixed Assets
• Inventory
• Trade Receivables
• Other Assets
• Cash & Cash Equivalents
• Equity
• Provisions
• Financial Liabilities
• Trade Payables
• Advance Payments
• Other Liabilities

Level 2 positions and account groups are fully customizable within this structure.

#Automatic logic & fixed positions

Certain positions include built-in logic to ensure consistent financial calculations.

• Level 2 positions under Fixed Assets automatically generate CapEx, depreciation, and cash flow entries
• Positions under EBITDA populate "Other Cash Flow" entries

Fixed (non-editable) positions

• EBITDA
• Net Income
• Total Assets
• Total Equity & Liabilities
• Cash & Cash Equivalents
• Retained Earnings / P&L Carryforward
• Non-categorized (placeholder for unmapped accounts)

#3. Map Accounts

What you do

• Map trial balance accounts to Level 2 positions
• Create account groups as an intermediate structural layer between Level 2 positions and individual accounts
• Review and adjust auto-mapping (supported charts of accounts are recognized)
• Tag net debt and intercompany accounts
• Split debit and credit balances if required (e.g. negative receivables treated as liabilities)

Why it matters

• Automatic mapping reduces setup effort significantly
• Warning indicators immediately highlight unmapped accounts
• Correct structure and tagging prepare your data for analysis, planning, and consolidation

Account groups

Account groups are a structural layer between Level 2 positions and individual accounts.
They improve grouping, enable cleaner analysis, and serve as drivers in planning.

Account groups are reused consistently across Financials, Analysis, and Planning.

Automapping & new uploads

• Standard charts of accounts are mapped automatically
• For previously mapped companies, new uploads that contain new or unknown accounts place those accounts automatically into Non-categorized
• This allows you to immediately identify and map new accounts correctly without affecting existing mappings
• Automapping coverage will be expanded continuously
