Vivid Reports Leads the Way in Cutting Report Maintenance Cost - Capstone Claim!

If your business never evolves and your boss never asks for another ad hoc report, then report maintenance costs won’t be a problem for you.

Consistency Matters: Use Centrally Managed Account Definitions

In financial reporting, accuracy and consistency are everything. When account definitions are managed centrally, every report pulls from the same source of truth—ensuring alignment across the entire organization. If an account definition changes, that update is instantly reflected everywhere it’s used, eliminating discrepancies, reducing manual adjustments, and keeping teams on the same page.

Without a unified approach, businesses risk reporting errors, version mismatches, and wasted time reconciling differences. A single, centrally managed definition streamlines reporting, improves confidence in the numbers, and allows finance teams to focus on insights instead of fixes.

Cell Formulas Don’t Belong in Financial Reports

Building financial reports with cell formulas might seem flexible—until things break. One wrong reference, an accidental drag-and-fill, or a hidden formula error can throw off your entire financial picture. Managing changes to formulas across multiple reports becomes a headache, making audits, updates, and troubleshooting painfully slow.

A formula-free approach to financial reporting ensures consistency, accuracy, and speed. Instead of hunting for errors, fixing broken links, or tediously fixing dozens of individual reports, update everywhere all at once. Less time spent maintaining reports means more time spent driving insights.

Have Fewer Spreadsheets but Service More Users—Without the Security Headaches

Managing financial reports shouldn’t mean juggling dozens of spreadsheets or worrying about sensitive data ending up in the wrong hands. When each user gets their own version, mistakes multiply, version control becomes a nightmare, and security risks grow.

A single, centrally managed spreadsheet with controlled access solves these problems. Each user sees only the divisions or business units they’re authorized for, with drill-down access to the details they need—nothing more, nothing less. No duplicate reports, no accidental data leaks, just one source of truth that’s secure, streamlined, and easy to maintain.
