CFO overview
The whole business on one page, every figure traced to its record.
Cash from the bank. Receivables and DSO from Atlas. Payables and what falls due from Cortex. Billing and deferred revenue from Apex. The close, budget against actual and payroll from Orion. Each figure opens to the records that make it up, in the same foundation, so the number on the page is the number in the books.

| When it is current | As of the last export | As the records change |
| Where a number comes from | A cell someone pasted | The records in your foundation |
| Who can see it | Whoever has the file | The people your roles and record scope allow |
| Audited or not | Known to whoever built the deck | Labeled on every figure |

What Orion works out, and what is yours
Orion does the arithmetic. People sign.
Orion reads and traces every figure on its own. What goes to the board, and who sees which entity, are a person's.
Orion matches, ties and calculates on its own, from the records already in your foundation. Every journal posted, every difference written off, every reconciliation signed off and every period locked is a person's decision, recorded with their name. Orion never moves money.
Orion works it out
- Reads every figure from the foundation as records change
- Traces each figure to its records
- Labels each period audited, unaudited or open
Always a person
- What goes to the board
- Who can see which entities
- Targets and thresholds
FAQ
CFO overview, run end to end.
Where do the figures on the overview come from?
From the records in your company's own foundation: the bank lines, the GL, and what Atlas, Apex and Cortex already hold. Nothing is exported or copied, so each figure opens to the records behind it.
Do we need every Ferrata product for the overview to work?
No. The overview reads your GL, bank and payroll on its own. Where your company runs Atlas, Apex or Cortex, their figures appear with the detail they hold, such as DSO from Atlas or pay dates from Cortex.
How current is it?
As current as the records. A payment applied in Atlas or a bill approved in Cortex shows the moment it is recorded; GL figures are as of the latest sync with your ERP.
Can department heads see their own numbers?
Yes, within your roles and record scope. A department head can see their own budget lines and nothing else, if that is how your company sets it.
Does the overview show which numbers are audited?
Yes. Every period shown is labeled audited, unaudited or open, as your team records it, so nobody mistakes management's numbers for audited ones.

Bring last month's close: the checklist, the reconciliations and the trial balance. We run it through Orion beside your team and show you where it would have tied, and give you an honest answer if the close is slow for a reason upstream that you should fix first.
Your close calendar, chart of accounts, thresholds, reviewers and sign-off order are yours, and they stay yours. Orion is configured to the way your team closes. You are not handing over a playbook or fitting into a template.
