What does a board-ready report look like when you’re running multiple entities? For Jesse Chapman, Financial Controller at Harris Real Estate Pty Ltd, it starts with one principle: Tell the performance story your board actually needs to see, not just the one your system can produce. 💡 Inside Fathom's new Report Library, Jesse’s multi-entity board pack shows how combining financial and non-financial data can reveal the real levers driving performance. Here’s a glimpse at his approach: ▪️Lead with the metrics that matter Before the numbers, Jesse anchors the report with KPIs that reveal the story behind the movement. Average order value, non-financial activity, volume trends, and early signals that demand is shifting. ▪️Break down performance by entity A consolidated P&L is just the surface. Jesse uses entity-level insights to spark richer board discussions, from who’s driving volume to where performance is slipping. ▪️Blend operational and financial data By weaving in non-financial data (orders, costs per order, activity-based insights), he builds a model of performance that boards can understand instantly and act on with confidence.
