Spotlight Reporting

Spotlight Reporting is a business intelligence and reporting platform for accounting firms. It provides consolidated reporting across multiple entities, three-way financial forecasting (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), and interactive dashboards. It integrates directly with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB.

Firms use Spotlight Reporting to produce board-ready reports, scenario models, and performance summaries for advisory engagements. The three-way forecasting model links revenue, expenses, working capital, and debt repayments into a unified cash flow projection, which is useful for client planning conversations. Multi-entity consolidation handles clients with several businesses or subsidiaries.

The platform originated in New Zealand and is widely used among advisory-focused firms in Australasia and the UK. It is best suited for firms that deliver regular management reporting or advisory packages and need a dedicated tool to produce professional financial reports beyond what their accounting software generates natively.
