Description
Month-end finance dashboard in Excel
Start with the biggest revenue or cost variance and tie it back to the transactions behind it. Confirm whether the difference comes from activity, price, timing, or a missing entry. Then check the balance against your cash record and review the age of unpaid invoices. Write down any correction or collection action with an owner and a date for the next check.
Inputs and reporting views
- Profit and loss. Compare revenue, costs, and profit for the reporting period
- Budget variance. Identify which expenses differ from plan
- Cash review. Compare closing cash with available bank records
- Invoice aging. Separate open receivables and payables by timing
How to use it
- Gather the month’s revenue, expenses, budget figures, and invoice balances. Check that transactions belong to the same reporting period, and review the largest differences before comparing the month to previous results.
- Look at profit and cash together, then review overdue receivables and upcoming payables by age or date. Assign a follow-up for invoices needing attention and record differences to check next month.
Worked example
Two overdue invoices total $2,400
An invoice for $1,700 is 1–30 days late and another for $700 is 31–60 days late. Review the older item first and confirm the due date of the next supplier bill.
If revenue rises but cash falls, review invoice collection dates and supplier payments. An unpaid sale can increase the month’s reported revenue before the customer’s cash is available.
Who it’s for
Small teams that need a repeatable review after each financial close.
Frequently asked questions
How does this differ from a 12-month forecast?
This dashboard reviews a period already closed or closing. Use the forecast workbook to compare future business assumptions.
Can rising revenue and lower cash happen together?
Yes. A sale can be recorded before its cash is received. Check collection and payment dates when the two figures move in different directions.
