templates or from scratch utilizing the familiar interface of Microsoft Excel.

planning. In addition, comparative Profit and Loss figures are displayed for both the current month and financial year-to­date figures. You can easily drill down to get further insight into the numbers. The bottom line—better, faster, and smarter
decisions provide your organization with a significant competitive advantage.
