Streamline Your Financial Report Process

As part of fulfilling their compliance requirements, governmental entities prepare audited financial documents, including Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) or Annual Financial Reports. This process is often time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. The Reporting Solution (TRS) can help!

Our web-based platform helps you dynamically build ACFRs in real time. TRS features database-linked financials and a collaborative document editor that allows multiple users to work in the platform simultaneously—helping streamline and simplify your annual reporting process.

Unlike traditional tools like Excel and Word that require you to stitch together various document types, manage versions, and share files back and forth, TRS users can potentially save significant time preparing the ACFR.

We’ve built this innovative platform on our extensive knowledge and experience from serving over 600 public sector clients. Now, you can leverage the same system we use to prepare financial reports for our clients! Ready to experience how TRS can help simplify your annual reporting process?

A Streamlined Preparation Process

Create your entire report using database-driven financial statements, an online word processor, and proprietary spreadsheet technology. Financial statement changes will update in real time across the report’s narrative. Multiple users can work simultaneously across the web-based platform. Export your report as a formatted .pdf or .docx file.

  • Simplify sharing and version control
  • Link amounts from documents, spreadsheets, and financial statements
  • Track report progress

Our platform allows you to maintain your data, adjustments, and financial groupings in one location. When you make changes to your financial statement data or upload a new trial balance, DataLinks automatically update throughout your spreadsheets and narrative sections.

In addition, TRS helps increase transparency, providing line-item details and allowing you to see your data, adjustments, and groupings. Share this data with your auditors to help streamline your audit process.
