Quick Guide

statycs in 5 minutes

This guide walks you through the core workflow of statycs — from first login to meaningful financial insights.
It is designed for first-time users who want to understand how statycs works, not every detail.

TL;DR
Upload your data → structure your financials → analyze, plan, and monitor performance.


Step 1: Upload your data

Every organization starts by uploading financial data.

  • Upload a trial balance in a supported format
  • Define basic company information (fiscal year-end, currency, industry)
  • statycs validates the data before you continue

Once confirmed, your data becomes the foundation for Financials, Analysis, Planning, and the Dashboard.


Step 2: Design your financial statements

Before looking at numbers, you define how your business should be reported.

  • Structure P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
  • Work with Totals, Subtotals, Level 1, and Level 2 positions
  • Extend or adjust the predefined structure to match your business logic

This structure is shared across all companies in your organization and ensures consistency in reporting, analysis, and planning.


Step 3: Map accounts

Next, connect your accounting data to your reporting structure.

  • Map trial balance accounts to Level 2 positions
  • Use account groups as an additional structural layer where helpful
  • Review auto-mapping and resolve unmapped accounts

New or unknown accounts are clearly flagged, so nothing gets missed.


Step 4: Review your financials

Once data is mapped, your financials are immediately available.

  • View P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow side by side
  • Switch between monthly and yearly views
  • Compare actuals to plans or prior periods
  • Drill down from totals to individual accounts

Financials always reflect the latest confirmed data, the selected plan, and the defined last actuals.


Step 5: Analyze performance

Use the Analysis workspace to understand drivers, trends, and ratios.

  • Explore pre-built analysis areas (P&L, revenues, cash flow, working capital, balance sheet)
  • Track KPIs over time
  • Create custom KPIs using formulas

Analysis is read-only and never changes your underlying data.


Step 6: Plan and forecast

Planning turns assumptions into structured monthly forecasts.

  • Plan on Level 2 positions
  • Create planning positions using different planning methods
  • Activate plans to use them across the app

Plans are used as comparison references and support rolling forecasts without changing historical actuals.


Step 7: Monitor with the Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a curated, high-level view.

  • Key KPIs, variances, and liquidity metrics
  • Consistent global toggles for period and comparison
  • Secure sharing via guest access

Use the Dashboard to stay aligned with stakeholders without exposing detailed reports.


Step 8: Manage users and settings

In Settings, Admins manage access and configuration.

  • Invite users and assign roles
  • Manage companies and organizational defaults
  • Control subscription and billing

Changes in Settings take effect immediately.


What to explore next

  • Dashboard – for high-level monitoring
  • Financials – for detailed reporting and drill-down
  • Analysis – for insights and KPIs
  • Planning – for budgets, forecasts, and scenarios

Each section in the docs explains its workspace in detail.


You’re ready to use statycs.
