Conversational Finance now provides a simple method to get the profitability analysis of various dimensions of a system of record through a simple query.  

Today financial analysts rely on several systems, potentially other departments to pull data, and separate tools to analyze the profitability of a product in a business. Conversational Finance simplifies this by providing a natural language interface, where a business user can get an answer within seconds.  

A user only needs to ask for the profitability of an aspect of the business to get a table that includes:  

  • Gross profit —revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
  • Gross Profit Margin (%) — Gross Profit / Revenue * 100
  • Operating Profit / Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) — Revenue - COGS - Operating Expenses
  • Operating Profit Margin (%) — EBIT / Revenue * 100
  • Net Profit — Revenue - Total Expenses (COGS, Operating Expenses, Interest Expense, Taxes)
  • Net Profit Margin (%) — Net Profit / Revenue * 100
  • Operating Expense Ratio (%) — Operating Expenses / Revenue * 100

The time scales for profitability analysis are:

  • Year
  • Quarter
  • Month
  • Year-to-Date (YTD)
  • Quarter-to-Date (QTD)
  • Month-to-Date (MTD)
