The conversation

A conversation about the March close.

Every answer, in five parts.

Your question, the figures with their source, the explanation, the proposal and your approval. Nothing Aurora writes is applied without you.

Explain a variance

What happened and why, with every figure linked to its source. Anything it can't verify is flagged as unverified.

01 · Your question

In Spanish or English. Aurora reads the model with your permissions: it only sees what you can see.

02 · The figures, with their source

Every figure links to its source in the model. Anything it can't verify is flagged as unverified.

The gap comes from three lines:

The €17k gap, by line

Sales−10(source 1)
Procurement−5(source 2)
Personnel−2(source 3)

Other expenses, in line with plan (source 4).

03 · The explanation

What happened, line by line: which lines explain the gap and which are still on plan.

Shall I prepare the March commentary for the board pack with these figures?

04 · The proposal

Aurora proposes the next step. It doesn't take it for granted.

You

Yes, go ahead.

05 · Your approval

What Aurora writes, you approve. Without your approval, nothing is applied.

Draft the board narrative

The board pack commentary, with every figure cited. If a figure doesn't reconcile, the narrative is held back.

Draft · March board pack

Awaiting your review

March closed with EBITDA of €197k (source 5), €17k (7.9%) below plan. Sales came in 0.8% below plan (source 1) and procurement rose 1.6% (source 2), reducing gross margin by €15k. Personnel costs were €2k over (source 3), and all other expenses stayed on plan (source 4).

02 · The figures, with their source

Every figure in the draft links to its source. If one doesn't reconcile, the narrative is held back and never reaches the board pack.

You

Reviewed and approved.

Commentary added to the March board pack.

05 · Your approval

The draft waits for your review. If you don't approve it, it isn't used.

Add an EBITDA margin line: EBITDA divided by sales.

01 · Your question

Ask for it in your own words. Aurora writes it with the lines of your model.

Aurora

Here's the formula I propose, as a percentage of sales:

EBITDA margin %=[EBITDA]/[Sales]

Now

The model has no EBITDA margin line.
