CFO insights
Make better decisions by contextualising your performance with our online financial analysis tool
Councils are having to make change
Not only to save costs, but to provide high-quality services that meet the demands of the public.
CFO Insights provides a three-dimensional view of your income and spend by category; the outcomes of that spend, and the socio-economic context you’re operating in.
You can compare your performance against every other council in England, Scotland, and Wales, and see how it relates to your geographical and statistical neighbours.
The tool provides immediate:
- identification of the authorities with the best service outcomes
- sight of socio-economically similar authorities and their spend on services
- clear visualisation through mapping, bar charts, spider profiles and league tables
- segmentation by different authority types, region, core cities and key cities
- aggregation of different authorities’ spend
- reduction in the time to identify sources of information.
