First, is the audience internal or external? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, what expectations do they have about nonprofit financial information? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, board members might expect a certain grouping and format of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to change a long-standing report package, walk your audience through the \u2018why\u2019 behind your new reporting and listen to their feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, consider how financially-minded your audience is and present the information with as much at-a-glance cognition as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By creating different role-based dashboards, you can tailor information to the needs of each audience, from program managers and executives to auditors or the board of directors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add visual effects to dashboards, such as graphs and up and down trend arrows, to provide at-a-glance cues for people who may not have a solid financial background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-2-consider-your-delivery-strategy\"><strong>Tip 2: Consider your delivery strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How will you deliver nonprofit financial information? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will you distribute a regular series of reports through email or make them available in a central location? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, this will depend a bit on your audience. Some people need to receive reports because they won\u2019t go looking for them on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of receiving reports, would your audience prefer a self-service experience where they can get information whenever they want? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dashboards are an excellent vehicle for self-service information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use a combination approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would schedule automated reports to go out regularly but also make a self-service option available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Executives and board members could receive reports and log in and drill down for more detailed information if they have additional questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-3-choose-an-appropriate-cadence-of-insight\"><strong>Tip 3: Choose an appropriate cadence of insight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How often will your team need to provide reporting? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it needed on a routine basis, or is it a one-off exercise, such as reporting about a specific project? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That will impact how you deliver the information and how often you deliver it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider whether your audience needs access to real-time figures or would be better served by periodic data that has been blessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, do you prefer to report on data only after it\u2019s gone through the month- or quarter-end close?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-4-deliver-insights-that-matter\"><strong>Tip 4: Deliver insights that matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distributing reporting data aims to deliver helpful insights to stakeholders who drive mission impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, distilling the insights that matter most to the mission is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Including outcome metrics in financial reports and dashboards provides vital insights into program success and informs program adjustments and strategic planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining financial and statistical metrics within the same reports and dashboards gives decision-makers a more holistic view of performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, having a real-time view of cost per meal or revenue per member could provide valuable insight for quick decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can connect financial expenditures directly to program results, enhancing accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This emboldens decision-making and ensures financial resources are directed toward the most impactful activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-5-speed-time-to-insights\"><strong>Tip 5: Speed time to insights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you discern meaningful insights but fail to deliver them promptly, stakeholders may be unable to make significant changes to improve mission impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-business-cloud\/intacct\/product-capabilities\/extended-capabilities\/financial-reporting\/interactive-visual-explorer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dashboards and data visualizations<\/a> help to speed up time to insights in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dashboards from cloud nonprofit accounting solutions display real-time data and enable continuous monitoring of key performance indicators. Real-time visibility enables more timely decisions than backward-looking reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visualizations render complex information in an easy-to-understand format, allowing users to quickly grasp the meaning behind the numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/accounting-software\/financial-management\/\">financial management software<\/a> enable you to set reports to alert you when thresholds are exceeded, or data anomalies occur.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graphs and charts allow you to visually compare different periods or different programs at a glance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By helping viewers grasp the important insights from financial and operational data more quickly, dashboards and visualizations enhance efficiency, clarity, and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta gated-content\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner on-scroll-highlight__target\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper

\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-6-provide-easy-access-to-supporting-documentation\"><strong>Tip 6: Provide easy access to supporting documentation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When nonprofits do their accounting and financial management in the cloud, it is easier to distribute reporting and analysis across the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessing the raw data beneath the insights is also more accessible by employing reports and charts with drill-down capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having the ability to drill down directly from reports into supporting documentation and source data helps improve organizational insight and decision-making in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get a top-level view with nonprofit KPIs and visualizations, then drill down to open more detailed reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus your dashboard or chart on the data points that matter most while ensuring users can easily navigate to other information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spot trends visually, then explore the detailed data to gain a&nbsp;deeper understanding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-7-take-the-reins-with-custom-reports-and-dashboards\"><strong>Tip 7: Take the reins with custom reports and dashboards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating a set of customized reports and dashboards for your organization can help you optimize mission alignment by ensuring the best collaboration and staff empowerment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customizing your reports and dashboards lets you create insights tools that perfectly reflect your organization\u2019s mission and activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This results in reporting that is relevant to each user\u2019s specific needs, resulting in increased stakeholder engagement and improved decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many nonprofit finance professionals feel intimidated by custom reporting, but there is nothing to dread if you have an easy-to-use report writing tool in your nonprofit financial management solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-business-cloud\/intacct\/resources\/datasheets\/interactive-custom-report-writer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Intacct Interactive Custom Report Writer<\/a> is a modern, visual reporting tool that helps users build customized reports quickly and easily with hierarchical field selection, drag and drop, automatic formatting, and simple subtotals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Sage Intacct makes it easy to build customized, role-based dashboards for different staff members, managers, executives, auditors, and the Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-8-generate-additional-context-with-benchmarks\"><strong>Tip 8: Generate additional context with benchmarks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you aim to improve mission impact, it helps to have other data to compare with your results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, most organizations carefully scrutinize current results against past performance. However, industry benchmarks also provide essential context and comparative insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparing your data against nonprofit industry benchmarks can help you identify areas of weakness and strength in your performance, assess risks, analyze industry trends, and set goals for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-business-cloud\/intacct\/resources\/datasheets\/nonprofit-digital-boardbook-datasheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Intacct Nonprofit Digital Board Book<\/a> is a set of pre-built dashboards that automatically track your real-time data against industry-wide best practice metrics to help nonprofit organizations benchmark financial health and sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sage Intacct seamlessly calculates reports and dashboards using real-time balance sheet, revenue, and expense data from Sage Intacct, incorporating additional operational data sources such as donor management systems, budgeting and planning software, payroll, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-9-turn-insights-into-action-with-storytelling\"><strong>Tip 9: Turn insights into action with storytelling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonprofits operate in an environment of rich data; the challenge lies in effectively communicating data insights to donors, board members, and employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sifting through spreadsheets to find the nuggets of insight won\u2019t work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stakeholders need to be guided through the data with engaging narratives and visuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narrative and visual storytelling help turn insights into action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good storytelling contextualizes the data, helping users understand why each metric and observation is important to mission success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It simplifies complex topics, getting to the heart of the matter and clarifying priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories capture attention and engage viewers emotionally, making them more likely to act on the data findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visualizations illustrate mission impact, while narratives highlight both challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-10-spot-trends-identify-outliers-and-predict-future-results\"><strong>Tip 10: Spot trends, identify outliers, and predict future results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial management solutions equipped with visualizations can enhance the ability of management and the Board to quickly see patterns and trends in revenue, expenses, and cash flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visual charts make it easier to detect outliers and anomalies in your financial data, such as rapid drops in funding or spikes in expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picking up on these changes early helps decision-makers investigate causes and adjust to changes more quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced nonprofit financial management software also helps leaders use historical data with predictive analytics features to examine potential what-if scenarios and forecast future results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/sage-business-cloud\/intacct\/product-capabilities\/extended-capabilities\/financial-reporting\/interactive-visual-explorer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sage Intacct Interactive Visual Explorer<\/a> empowers users to explore financial data more deeply using multi-angle, multi-dimensional analysis, spotting trends and outliers, and making predictive analytic insights about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Improving financial visibility across your organization helps build a culture of openness, transparency, and accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve the best mission alignment, it is important to share information that is accurate, insightful, actionable, and accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means customizing information delivered to different roles within the organization, presenting it in an easy-to-digest format, and providing context and narrative that makes it more useful to the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ten tips shared in this article can help your organization improve the quality and accessibility of your financial information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cloud financial management
