The Company Board – Visualizer and Analyzer

This is an example of a Company Board, showing its basic structure:

There are a few lucky people in this world who can glance at columns of numbers and immediately see their relative sizes, relationships, importance, and underlying messages. For the rest of us, however, it takes serious work to extract useful insights from an Income Statement and Balance Sheet—often requiring weeks or even years of study.

The Challenge of Traditional Financial Reports

Traditional financial reports present data as plain columns of numbers. Yet, most of us are not naturally wired to process numerical notation quickly. This makes it difficult to quickly grasp the financial health of a company by merely scanning its Annual Report.

Our Visual Solution

At Andromeda Simulations International, we’ve created The Company Board to tackle this challenge. Our tool visually represents the information from any Income Statement and Balance Sheet. Here’s how it works:

• Logical Grouping:
  The line items of both financial statements are grouped or listed in a coherent manner.
• Color-Coding and Sizing:
  Each element is color-coded and sized graphically to reflect its relative importance and relationships.
• Instant Insights:
  Key financial relationships immediately leap out, such as:
  • Sales, Cost of Sales, and Profit
  • Debt-to-Equity Ratios
  • Cash Position Health
  • Asset Allocation: Amount tied up in inventories versus fixed assets
  • Return on Assets: Profit relative to the company’s asset base

A Revolutionary Visual Tool

We believe The Company Board is the first complete visual representation of its kind in the world. It works for any company, in any country, regardless of the accounting system used. Not only does it offer an extremely rapid review of a company’s financial health, but it also presents the information in a far more engaging and beautiful way than traditional columns of numbers.
