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.
