Onboarding & Data Management

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

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.

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

Data Management

The Data section is used to manage financial structures and company data after onboarding.

It separates shared financial structure from company-specific data to ensure consistency across entities.

It is split into:

  • Organizational Data – shared financial statement design
  • Company Data – uploads, mappings, and financial values per entity

Organizational Data

Changes made here affect all companies in the organization.

What you do

  • Maintain the shared financial statement design
  • Ensure consistent Totals, Subtotals, Level 1, and Level 2 positions across entities

Drafts, impact & publishing

  • All changes are saved as drafts
  • You can review the impact of design changes on financials before publishing
  • Click Confirm to apply changes across the organization

Confirming a financial statement design is not reversible.

Translations

  • Positions are stored in the language defined in user settings
  • Default positions are translated automatically
  • Custom positions not yet translated are marked with 🌍︎
  • To translate custom positions, switch the language and adjust the financial statement design

Company Data

Company Data affects only the selected company.

It provides a centralized overview of all companies and their data status.

Company overview

For each company, you can see:

  • Last sync – when financial data was last updated
  • Uploaded time range – which periods are available
  • Mapping status – whether unmapped accounts exist

⚠️ A warning indicator highlights companies with unmapped accounts.

From this overview, you can perform three core actions.


1. Upload Data

  • Upload or sync trial balances at any time
  • New uploads overwrite existing financial values
  • The upload process is identical to onboarding
  • Additional input formats and integrations will be added continuously

Review before confirm

  • You will see the impact of overwritten data before confirming

Confirming an upload overwrite is not reversible.


2. Mapping

  • Open Mapping to edit account mappings in draft mode
  • Same functionality as during onboarding
  • Accounts from new uploads are always placed under Non-categorized
  • Users must explicitly review and map new accounts
  • Use ⚠️ filters to locate unmapped accounts quickly
  • Confirm or revert changes to publish them live

3. Delete Data

  • Use Delete Data to remove financial values
    from the last uploaded month onward
  • Designed for corrections and re-uploads

Review before confirm

  • You will see the impact of deleted data before confirming

Deleting data is not reversible.

  • Financial statement designs are never affected
  • Account mappings are only removed if all company data is deleted

Why it matters

  • Clear visibility into data health across all companies
  • Full transparency before committing irreversible actions
  • Full control over uploads, mappings, and financial values per entity
