Custom MIS Assessment™

Custom MIS Assessment™

What are your numbers really telling you?

Give us your data. We'll help you understand your business.
Most businesses have numbers: sales, expenses, receivables, payables, margins, cash flow. But having numbers isn't the same as understanding the business behind them.

A standard MIS tells you what happened. A Custom MIS Assessment™ helps you understand why it happened, what it means, and what to do next.

Start your MIS assessment
Don't just get an MIS. Get business clarity.

Your business decides the MIS, not the other way round.

A manufacturer doesn't need the same MIS as a restaurant. An e-commerce business doesn't need the same MIS as an outsourcing company. So we don't start with a template. We start with your business:

  • How does it make money?
  • What drives revenue and margins?
  • Where does cash go, and where does it get stuck?
  • Which customers, products or services matter most?
  • Where are costs rising?
  • What decisions are you struggling to make?
What we look at

We follow the numbers wherever they lead.

Revenue

Month-on-month and year-on-year growth, target vs actual, customer concentration, product and service mix.

Profitability

Gross and operating margin, customer, product and branch profitability, cost movements.

Cash and working capital

Receivable and payable days, inventory, cash conversion, cash-flow pressure.

Business drivers

Utilisation, capacity, headcount, average order value, billable revenue, contribution margin.

Sometimes sales are growing while cash gets worse. Sometimes one customer looks valuable until you see the cost of serving them. Sometimes the problem isn't finance at all.

The numbers help us find the question behind the question.
The process

Seven steps, from data to decisions.

  1. Give us your data.No rigid document list; we ask for what we need as we learn.
  2. We understand your businessModel, revenue, costs, margins, cash, drivers and challenges.
  3. We identify what management needs to know.If you could see five things about your business every month, what would help you decide better?
  4. We build your custom MISDashboards, sales, margins, profitability, working capital, cash, budget vs actual, risks and opportunities.
  5. We review it with youWhat happened, why, what it means, and what needs attention.
  6. We find the business questionsWhere you're performing, where money is lost, where cash is stuck, where the opportunity is.
  7. We recommend actionPractical, written recommendations.

More than a report

Reporting numbers vs using them to run a business.

A standard MIS says: "Revenue was ₹X."

A custom MIS asks: Why is revenue ₹X? Is that good or bad? What drove the change? What does it mean for the business? What should management do next?

You shouldn't need a finance degree to understand your MIS. The best MIS isn't the one with the most pages. It's the one that helps management decide.
What happens after?

Designed to help you understand what you need, not to push a service.

  • "Our existing MIS is good enough." Great.
  • "We need better reporting." We can help build it.
  • "Our accounting data needs fixing." We find and fix the underlying issues.
  • "We need someone to review this with us every month." That can become an ongoing engagement.
  • "Our whole finance function needs strengthening." A Finance Function Assessment™ may be the next step.
