Data accuracy matters:

• Make sure that data is entered correctly into your system. It sounds obvious, but clean data really is vital for decision-making.
• Implement tracking and location features to categorise transactions effectively.

Visualise your data:

• You may prefer to see a visual representation rather than a traditional report. This can make it easier to spot trends and areas that need attention.
• Use dashboard reporting tools and visual aids, like pie charts and graphs, for a more intuitive understanding of your business data.

Third-party apps for enhanced reporting:

• Consider third-party apps that integrate with accounting software.
• These apps can provide visual reporting, giving unique insights tailored to your business needs.

Uncover patterns and trends:

• Analyse financial and non-financial data to identify correlations.
• This will help you spot trends and make informed decisions based on data-driven insights.
