This. I work for a retail sales company that has many different business units that have different financial statement formats. I wrote a daily report that harmonizes the disparate financial statements, creating a consistent view across all units, and then highlight various sales and expense categories. It has grown to include forecasting and goal tracking, and in my opinion is easy to understand, yet to this day unit managers will contact me with basic questions regarding sales vs gross profit. How they got into the position where they run a $1.5M/month sales operation is beyond me...
