Client portal

Know how your business is doing in two minutes.

Every Balanced client on a flat monthly package gets a private portal. It turns your P&L and balance sheet into a few clear charts, a short note from your account manager, and your full report package, so anyone on your team can see how the business is doing.

Your October note from Jordan Lee
01
A strong month for sales.

Revenue was $184,200, up 6% on September and your best month this year. The two large wholesale orders made most of the difference, and net income rose with it to $21,450.

02
Cash keeps building.

Cash ended the month at $312,800, up $11,800 on September and higher every month since February. You're in a comfortable spot heading into the slower winter months.

03
One customer is running late.

About $9,100 of what customers owe is more than 60 days old, almost all of it one account. It may be worth a nudge to them this month.

A sample company with made-up numbers. Your portal shows your own books.

The numbers, and what they mean.

A P&L tells you what happened. It doesn't always tell you what it means. Financial statements are accurate, but they aren't friendly: rows of accounts, columns of months, and a bottom line that doesn't say whether it's good news. Most owners we work with can read them. Plenty of the people they work with can't, and even the ones who can rarely have time to dig.

The portal puts every number next to the one that gives it meaning. Revenue next to last month and last year. Net income alongside the months that led up to it. Cash with the trend behind it, and what customers still owe you. If something moved, you'll see it, and your account manager will tell you why.

It's the same books and the same statements you'd get anyway. The difference is that your operations lead, your partner or your board can open it and understand the month in a couple of minutes, without a walkthrough.

What's inside

Everything a non-finance person needs to understand the month, and the full detail for anyone who wants to go deeper.

This month at a glance

Revenue, net income, cash and what customers owe you, each compared with last month and last year. If you're spending more than you're bringing in, it also shows how many months your cash covers.

A note from your account manager

Every month, the person who knows your books writes a few lines on how it went: the headline, what drove it, and one thing to keep an eye on. Written for an owner, not an auditor.

Charts that show the trend

Twelve months of revenue, cash and net income, plus where the money went and how revenue stacks up against expenses. One good or bad month never gets read out of context, and more views open up as your package grows.

Detail when you want it

Click into revenue, spending, cash or net income. The net income page ties out line by line to your P&L, so the chart and the statement always agree.

Your full report package

Income statement by month and year to date against last year, balance sheet against last month and last year, and the statement of cash flows. One branded PDF, ready to download or send to your banker.

Only closed months

A month shows up once we've closed and reviewed it, so the numbers you see don't shift after you've looked at them.

How it works each month

Included with every package

The portal comes with every flat monthly package, from the Virtual Accounting Department up. There's no extra fee and nothing to install. You get a login, and so can anyone else on your team who should see the numbers.

Already a client? We're moving everyone onto the portal over the next couple of months. Your account manager will reach out with your login.

Questions about the portal

Do I need to understand accounting to use it?

No, and that's the whole idea. Every number comes with a comparison and a clear label, and your account manager's note sums up the month in a few sentences. If you want the full statements, they're one click away.

Where do the numbers come from?

Straight from your books, after we've closed the month, whichever accounting system you use. The portal and your report package always match.

Who can see my portal?

Only the people you choose. Each login sees your company and nothing else, and we set up access for anyone on your team who should have it.

Does it replace the monthly report?

It includes it. Your report package is in the portal each month as a PDF you can download, print or send to your bank.

What does it cost?

Nothing extra. It's included with every flat monthly package.
