Which costs are changing, and what is driving the change?
Connect financial movements to volume, activity, location, customer, product or operational drivers where the data supports it.
Finance and performance
Cost & Profitability Analytics
Understand what is driving cost and performance by connecting financial results to the operations behind them.
Cost and profitability questions become difficult when finance data is separated from the commercial and operational activity that creates it. A P&L can show the result without showing the business drivers that explain the result.
We support organizations connect financial, sales, volume, expense and operational data into governed analytical views that support more precise performance management and better conversations between finance and the business.
NoèmeX perspectiveMake the system intelligible first: reveal the structure, constraints and variables that determine where change can produce the intended outcome.

Questions we address
The finance decisions that shape the work
We frame the engagement around the process, control and information questions finance leaders need to resolve before selecting a solution.
02
Where is performance being hidden by aggregation?
Design the right levels of detail so leaders can identify differences across locations, business lines or operating units.
03
Are finance and operations using the same performance definitions?
Align KPIs and data structures so operational explanations reconcile with financial reporting.
04
How should leaders investigate variance?
Create drill paths and analytical views that move from headline results to the underlying cost and activity drivers.
What we deliver
From finance diagnosis to a governed operating solution
The exact scope depends on the organization, but the work typically produces a combination of these outputs.
01
Cost and profitability data assessment
A review of financial, commercial and operational sources required to analyze cost and performance.
02
Driver and dimensional model
A governed structure connecting financial outcomes to relevant entities such as location, product, customer, service or business line.
03
Cost and margin KPI framework
Consistent measures and definitions for monitoring cost, contribution and profitability where supported by available data.
04
Variance and trend analytics
Views that support finance and operating leaders understand changes over time and differences across units.
05
Executive and operational dashboards
Layered reporting that supports both management-level performance review and detailed investigation.
06
Data-quality and reconciliation controls
Checks that maintain consistency between analytical outputs and governed finance sources.

This example is drawn from the documented Global Data & BI case-study portfolio and illustrates the kind of process, data and reporting conditions behind the service.
Cost and performance analytics1Central BI suite spanning P&L, cost, expense, sales, volume and operations metrics
Connecting finance and operational measures across a multi-location healthcare business
The healthcare engagement consolidated D365 and legacy information into a governed BI environment covering P&L, cost analysis, expenses, sales, volumes and operational control. The solution gave leadership a common basis for comparing performance across locations and examining the operational context behind financial results.
