(and Not Just Because It Looks Cool)

If spreadsheets give you hives, a financial dashboard might just be your new best friend. It’s like Instagram, but for your business finances—pretty charts, key numbers, and no political arguments.

What is a financial dashboard?
A visual representation of your business’s key financial info—profit, expenses, cash flow, KPIs—on one easy-to-digest screen.

Why it rocks:

• Saves time (goodbye 10-tab Excel sheets)

• Helps you see trends at a glance

• Gives you better decision-making power

What to include:

• Revenue vs. goals

• Burn rate (how fast you’re spending cash)

• Cash runway (how long until you run out)

Tools to build one:

• Fathom, LivePlan, Databox

• Excel or Google Sheets with graphs (for the spreadsheet-savvy)

✅ Funny Tip: A dashboard doesn’t make your finances better—but it does make the panic prettier.
