Entities in Reports: Bringing Entity-Level Visibility into Group Reporting

As group structures grow, consolidated numbers alone are often not enough. Finance teams need to understand where the numbers come from, not just what the final total is.

To improve transparency and usability in group reporting, BrizoSystem introduces a new feature: Entities in Reports — designed to give users instant visibility into entity-level contributions without leaving the report.


The Challenge with Purely Consolidated Views

Consolidated reports are essential for group reporting, but they can also hide important details.

Common challenges include:

  • Difficulty tracing group totals back to individual entities
  • Extra reports or exports required for entity analysis
  • Manual breakdowns created outside the system
  • Slower response to management questions

Finance teams often switch between consolidated reports and separate entity-level views, increasing both workload and risk.


Introducing the “Show Entities” Button

The new Show Entities button solves this problem directly inside the report.

When the button is turned on:

  • The report automatically extends by entities into columns
  • Each entity appears side by side within the same report view
  • Group totals remain visible while entity-level data is revealed

This allows users to move seamlessly between consolidated and entity-level perspectives — with a single click.


How Entity-Level Columns Improve Reporting Clarity

By displaying entities as columns, finance teams can:

  • Instantly compare entity performance
  • Identify outliers or unusual movements
  • Validate consolidation results more efficiently
  • Answer management questions faster

There is no need to rebuild reports or export data — the insight is already there.


Designed for Real-World Finance Workflows

The Entities in Reports feature is built for how finance teams actually work.

It supports:

  • Faster review during month-end close
  • Clearer discussions with management and stakeholders
  • Better understanding of how entities contribute to group results

Most importantly, it reduces reliance on offline analysis and manual reconciliation.


Better Transparency Without Added Complexity

This feature does not change how data is prepared or consolidated.
It simply makes reporting more transparent and more useful.

Users stay in control:

  • Turn entity columns on when needed
  • Switch back to a clean consolidated view instantly
  • Keep reports structured and consistent

It’s visibility without clutter.


Final Thoughts

Good consolidation is not just about accuracy — it’s about clarity.

With the new Show Entities feature, BrizoSystem makes it easier for finance teams to understand group results, explain them confidently, and act on insights faster.

Sometimes, the most powerful improvements are the ones that let you see more — without doing more.
