How we help

Forecasting and target-setting

Our process begins by building a comprehensive 3-way forecast, integrating your profit and loss, balance sheet, and cashflow statement. Resulting in a holistic view of your financial outlook, this process establishes clear financial targets and provides a roadmap for growth.

Regular progress meetings

We meet with you regularly to review performance, compare actual results to your forecasts, and discuss the actions needed to stay on track. These sessions are proactive, collaborative, and focused on helping you make timely, informed decisions.

Automate processes

We work closely with your team to identify the manual, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks in your reporting processes. From there, we set to work on alleviating your team from these laborious undertakings, designing and implementing automation solutions using tools such as Power Automate and Python.

Performance reporting

Receive timely and accurate management reports delivered straight to your inbox or dashboard. Digestible and actionable, reports are tailored to your unique business drivers, giving you all the information you actually need, and none you don’t.

Financial dashboards

Built for the coalface, our financial dashboards turn data into clear, role-specific insights to support better decision-making across your business. With the support of visual dashboards, teams gain visibility into key metrics to help them monitor their progress, identify issues early, and own their contributions.

What our clients say
about working with us

Ulton created a bespoke, automatically updating Dashboard that integrates with our AccountRight system, giving us clear, accessible reporting tailored to our needs. It brings together key insights like inventory, cost analysis, and yearly comparisons—areas that were previously difficult to access. The Dashboard is easy to use, with the ability to drill down into detailed data. We use it daily to support decision-making and save significant time. The setup was seamless, and the ongoing performance has been reliable. We’re extremely happy with both the system and service."
