You already know what the board pack should say. The problem is the twelve hours it takes to produce it.

Every month, the same sequence. Export the management accounts. Pull the prior period comparatives. Open last month's pack. Start updating the numbers, one cell at a time. Write the commentary you've written a hundred times before — “revenue exceeded budget, driven by…” — but this time with different numbers. Format it. Check it. Send it for review. Get it back with comments. Fix it. Send it again.

The judgement is yours. The structure hasn't changed in two years. The data is sitting in the same systems it always sits in. Yet the whole exercise takes your team the best part of a week every single month, and the deadline pressure means the commentary is always thinner than you'd like it to be.

That's the work Dannan eliminates.

Every report your board and executive team expects. Produced from your data. Matched to your format.

Monthly board reporting pack

Full variance commentary against budget and prior period, with every number traced back to the source ledger.

Cash flow narrative

Commentary that explains the movements, not just reports them. Working capital, capex, financing — written in the language your board actually reads.

Budget vs actuals

Formatted exactly the way you present it today. Upload last month's version and we match the layout.

KPI dashboards

Live views your CEO and COO can check any morning. Revenue, margin, headcount, pipeline, collections — updated the moment your data refreshes.

Investor updates

Quarterly summaries for your investors or parent company. Same data, different audience, different tone.

Management commentary

The narrative sections your auditors and non-execs rely on. Cited, structured, defensible.

Brief it like you'd brief a colleague. Or let us run it entirely.

Upload your management accounts, connect your accounting system, or point us at your shared drive. Tell us what you need — “board pack, match last month's format, commentary on any variance over 5%” — and review what comes back. Approve the sections you're happy with. Refine the rest with a sentence of feedback.

Most finance teams start by producing one report themselves. Within a month, they've asked our team to manage the entire monthly cycle. We connect your sources, set up the templates, and deliver finished packs to your inbox on the schedule you set — typically two days after data close.
