Workiva financial reporting consulting

Implement a new reporting package or repair the one your team has inherited. We trace the source data, calculations, and links, test the roll-forward, and hand over a cycle your preparers and reviewers can run.

Support for the reports your team delivers

Get a reporting package with traceable numbers, clear review steps, and a repeatable process for each period.

Reporting packages

Prepare recurring financial statements and management reports from connected source data, with calculations and review steps your team can maintain.

  • Linked tables and narrative
  • Calculations and review steps
  • A package your team can run each period

Board materials and publications

Keep board materials and management reports consistent as figures change. We build the document structure, linked tables, and publication layout around your review process.

  • Document and section structure
  • Repeatable source-to-document links
  • Review and acceptance checkpoints

Budget books and source models

Turn budget inputs into a publication your team can update each cycle. Connect calculations and narrative so changes are easier to review and carry through.

  • Source and object map
  • Budget and reporting calculations
  • Operating notes for updates and corrections

From source data to published report

See how connected sources, calculations, and review steps can work together in a reporting package. This example uses fictional data.

Connect your source data

Bring your general ledger, sub-ledgers, budget, and supporting files into the reporting process without retyping figures.

Load and map your data

Wdata tables hold the trial balance, sub-ledger detail, and budget. A mapping table connects accounts to reporting lines, and Chains can schedule the refreshes.

Build a shared reporting model

A query brings the mapped data into one spreadsheet model that supplies the figures for your reports.

Reconcile before review

Check the model’s totals against the trial balance and resolve differences before refreshing the report.

Update linked reports

Link the statement, note narrative, and board deck to the same source cell so an approved change can carry through each report.

Review and sign-off

Reviewers comment on the page, the preparer resolves each comment, and the package is signed off before it is published.

Follow a number

Property and equipment, net: 1,284,310, from its trial-balance row to the statement line.

Run the next cycle with confidence

Bring the latest approved report, its source files, the review calendar, and examples of manual corrections. We agree which reports and periods are in scope before changing the package.

Source map

The inputs, owners, periods, and dependencies that feed the package.

Tested calculations and links

The mappings, formulas, and linked tables, checked against agreed source totals and prior-period comparatives. Differences stay visible for review.

Roll-forward and correction checks

A test of the next-period copy, dates, comparative shift, and refresh path, with evidence and an owner for any remaining manual step.

Operating notes

Step-by-step instructions for refreshes, roll forward, and routine updates, and training for the people who will do them.

Multi-entity reporting, built on a reconciled model

Bring entity data into a consistent reporting process while keeping local requirements clear. We agree the accounting basis and consolidation scope with your team, then connect the approved data, mappings, and reports in Workiva.

Map the entities and accounts

Define the reporting population, preserve local account detail, and map balances to approved group lines. Keep unmapped or duplicate rows visible until an owner resolves them.

Reconcile before reporting

Check source loads, entity and period filters, mapped totals, and approved consolidation outputs so reviewers can trace the figures in the report.

Reuse reports with local control

Standardize recurring tables and narrative while assigning owners to local statutory differences, currencies, review steps, and filing requirements.
