Finance analytics
Revenue and margin on shared definitions.
Define revenue, margin and spend once, compare actuals with budget and forecast on the same card, and hold publication when a critical data check fails.
Row-level security and field masking apply to every dashboard, report, export and AI answer. See the controls
Certified metrics and publication gates are available on the Business plan. See plans
The questions finance teams ask.
Each answer describes what the product does today, and links to the page in the documentation that explains how it works.
Why doesn't our revenue match the number sales reports?
Define revenue once as a governed metric with its owner. An admin certifies it, certified metrics rank first in search, and the business glossary records what the term means, so AI answers use your organization's definition.
CertificationHow are we tracking against budget and forecast?
A card control puts Actual, Budget and Forecast tabs on a single card. SquareX measures cover year-to-date, the same period last year and month-end balances, and compile to SQL that runs in your database.
Card controlsCan a failed data check hold a report back?
Run data quality checks on a schedule or on every sync. While a critical check fails, publishing a dashboard, report or model is held and the last published version keeps serving; an admin can override with a reason, which is written to the audit log. Checks run on PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, Redshift and other supported databases, and on uploaded files.
Publication quality gatesWhich cost center drove the variance?
Drill down the cost-center hierarchy from the summary, or use Explain this change to split the movement by department, account or region and see which members moved it, and by how much.

How the work runs.
Alerts when a number crosses its line, and the reports and reviews that arrive on a schedule.
Every night
Quality checks on a schedule
Checks run overnight on a schedule, and the Issues tab collects every failure. While a critical check fails, publishing is held.
Data qualityEvery month
The management pack, on schedule
A paginated report with groups, subtotals and grand totals is emailed as PDF or Excel on the date you choose, in your time zone.
Report schedulingEvery quarter
The board pack as a story
Start from the Board pack template. When an admin allows snapshot stories, each publish keeps every chart's rows as they were at that moment, and readers see the date the data is from.
