Platform
Reporting that arrives ready, not half built.
Dashboards, reporting packs and analysis, built on clean, validated data.
Overview
Once the data is clean, dexIQ turns it into decisions: live dashboards, reporting packs and analysis that finance leaders can act on, not just file.
Clean data is the hard part, and dexIQ produces it as a by-product of doing the books. On top of it sits a reporting layer that answers the questions leadership actually asks, with cash-flow and trend analysis alongside the standard pack.
The month-end scramble is rarely about the reporting tool. It is about waiting for the books to be right. When coding, reconciliation and accruals are already done, the pack stops being a build and starts being a review.
What you get
- Live dashboards on validated, real-time data.
- Management reporting packs prepared on schedule.
- Trend and cash-flow analysis for better decisions.
- Variance commentary drafted from the underlying transactions.
- Multi-entity consolidation with intercompany eliminations.
- Ask questions of your own numbers in plain English.
Why reporting is late when the data is already there
In most Australian businesses the numbers exist in the accounting system well before the pack goes out. The delay is not in the reporting layer. It is in everything that has to be true before the reporting layer can be trusted.
Invoices still sitting uncoded in an inbox. Bank lines unreconciled. Accruals that someone needs to remember. Intercompany balances that do not agree. Each is small, and together they are the reason a pack that takes two hours to build takes eight days to release.
dexIQ works the other end of that chain. Because the coding, matching and reconciliation happen continuously rather than in a month-end burst, the ledger is close to reportable on the first working day. The pack then reflects a set of books that is already right, which is the only version of fast reporting that is worth having.
What the reporting layer produces
The standard monthly pack, prepared on schedule and formatted the way your board already reads it, sits alongside live dashboards that do not wait for month end.
- Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, with prior period and budget comparatives.
- Variance analysis with commentary drafted from the transactions that actually moved, not generic phrasing.
- Rolling cash-flow forecasting built on real payment and receipt behaviour rather than a static model.
- Debtor and creditor ageing with the exposures that matter surfaced rather than buried.
- Multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations and foreign currency translation.
- Segment and cost-centre views for businesses that report by division, project or site.
Commentary is drafted, then reviewed
Writing variance commentary is the slowest part of most reporting packs, because it means going back into the detail to find out why a number moved.
dexIQ starts from the transactions. If gross margin fell, it can point at the specific supplier price increases, the volume shift and the one-off credit note that produced it, and draft the explanation in those terms. What you receive is a first draft with the evidence attached.
It is a draft on purpose. Commentary that goes to a board carries judgement about what matters and what to leave out, and that judgement stays with the person whose name is on the pack. The time saved is the digging, not the thinking.
Built for Australian reporting obligations
Reporting here has to survive GST, BAS and an auditor. The pack reconciles to the activity statements rather than sitting beside them, so the numbers you report to management and the numbers you lodge with the ATO come from the same place.
- GST treatment carried through from the source transaction, not reapplied at reporting time.
- Reporting periods aligned to the Australian financial year and BAS cycle.
- A full audit trail from any figure in the pack back to the source document.
- Works on Xero today, with the ledger remaining the system of record.
Questions
Management Reporting & Insights, answered.
What is management reporting software?
Management reporting software turns accounting data into the reports leadership uses to make decisions: profit and loss against budget, cash-flow position, margin and trend analysis, and the commentary that explains what moved. It differs from statutory reporting, which is prepared for compliance rather than for management action.
Does dexIQ replace our accounting system?
No. Xero stays the system of record. dexIQ works the books inside it and reads from it to build reporting, so there is no second ledger to reconcile and no migration to sit through. If you leave, your accounting system is exactly where you left it.
Can it consolidate multiple entities?
Yes. Multi-entity consolidation includes intercompany eliminations and foreign currency translation, with drill-down from the consolidated figure to the entity and then to the underlying transaction. Group structures are common in the Australian mid-market and the pack is built for them rather than adapted to them.
How fast can we close and report?
That depends far more on the state of the books than on the reporting tool. Because dexIQ codes and reconciles continuously rather than in a month-end burst, most of the close work is already done when the period ends. Teams typically move from a close measured in weeks to one measured in days.
Is the AI writing our board commentary?
It drafts, a person decides. dexIQ produces a first draft of variance commentary with the supporting transactions attached, so the digging is done. What goes to the board is what your finance lead approves, because commentary carries judgement about materiality and emphasis that should not be delegated to software.
What reporting can we get before month end?
Dashboards run on live data, so revenue, spend, cash position and ageing are current rather than a month behind. The formal pack still follows the reporting calendar, but the numbers underneath it are visible throughout the period instead of arriving as a surprise after it closes.
