Branch analysis
How to compare branch performance without mixing the numbers
Branch comparison fails when account codes differ or the data is merged by hand into one file at month-end.
Quick answer
Multi-branch companies need two pictures at the same time: one for each branch, and one for the group. The problem is that those pictures are usually built from different files.
If one branch uses “operating expenses” and another uses a different label, and totals are copied by hand into a consolidation file, the comparison becomes approximate. Approximate decisions are expensive.
The fix is not another report. It is a shared classification first. After accounts are mapped, you can compare revenue, margin, and expense across branches on the same basis.
Then comes isolation. A branch manager should see their branch, and the CFO should see the group, without mixed permissions or one company's files leaking into another.
That is what the companies-and-branches layer in VCFO is built for: a clear structure from group to company to branch to period, with comparisons you can explain.
