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

Upload Data step showing trial balance upload and supported formats

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

Financial statement design editor with drag-and-drop hierarchy

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

Account mapping screen with drag-and-drop and warning indicators

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
