Phase 1: Financial Data Foundation (Weeks 1 to 4)
Automated ingestion from GL, revenue, and payroll. Canonical monthly actuals table. Chart of accounts and entity standardization. Deterministic validation and tie outs. Excel ready outputs.
Manual rebuilds. Drifting definitions. Forecasts no one fully trusts. KPI Audit fixes the financial metric foundation behind reporting and planning. Not dashboards. Not new tools. The system that produces the numbers.
Built for finance and analytics leaders who need correctness, continuity, and decision grade signal.
Engagement structure
The work is intentionally sequenced. Phase 1 creates trust and replaces manual rebuilds. Phase 2 removes repetitive FP&A labor while preserving Excel workflows. Phase 3 upgrades planning to quantified risk.
Automated ingestion from GL, revenue, and payroll. Canonical monthly actuals table. Chart of accounts and entity standardization. Deterministic validation and tie outs. Excel ready outputs.
Standardized KPIs and drivers. Automated baseline forecast recomputation. Forecast versioning and variance bridges. Excel remains input and presentation.
Driver distributions and correlations. Monte Carlo simulations. Confidence bands and probability of miss. Early warning signal detection based on deviation from expected ranges.
What you receive
Outputs are built for finance ownership and executive review. No dependency on ongoing consulting.
Fit
KPI Audit is for teams that rely on financial performance reporting but do not fully trust the machinery behind it.
Forecasts require rebuilds. Your team spends cycles copying, pasting, reconciling, and explaining variance.
Definitions drift. Revenue, margin, churn, CAC, or utilization differs by report, tool, or meeting.
Data breaks quietly. Refreshes succeed but numbers are wrong, late, duplicated, or missing.
Leadership debates the data. Meetings regress into tie out arguments instead of decisions.
Not a dashboard redesign. Visual polish does not fix broken definitions or fragile pipelines.
Not a tool migration. We work with your current stack and Excel workflows.
Not a black box model. Logic is documented. Checks are deterministic before probabilistic.
Not an open ended program. The work is phased with clear exit points.
Contact
If the foundation is weak, everything above it is noise. Request a scope note and we will identify what Phase 1 should cover in your environment.
This opens an email with a short intake questionnaire pre-filled. Answer what you can and send. I will reply with a Phase 1 scope outline.
If your email client does not open, copy the questions and send to hello@kpiaudit.com.
15 minute triage. Confirm systems, close calendar constraints, and failure modes.
Scope note. Phase 1 work plan, data access needs, and deliverables.
Start. We begin by creating trust: canonical actuals, tie outs, and Excel ready outputs.
Typical systems: NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Workday, ADP, Paychex, Salesforce, Stripe, Shopify, and custom data stores.
Operating principle: deterministic checks before probabilistic modeling.
