Make data-driven decisions at your accounting firm with Karbon Practice Intelligence

But what if you did have a way to find, analyze and leverage your firm’s data to answer these fundamental questions? Data that helps you understand:

• Your top opportunities to drive efficiency

• If you’re pricing your services correctly

• Your biggest revenue-drivers

• Who your highest performing team members are

• Who your most profitable clients are (and who are your biggest time wasters)

What would it mean to you, your team, your firm and your clients if you could answer these questions with genuine confidence?

We developed Karbon Practice Intelligence (KPI) to do just that: to help you find these critical business insights, to align your team around common goals, and to bring clarity and speed to your firm.

We built it so you didn’t have to. Our customers now have access to integrated analytics at scale without having to move and/or copy data around.

What is Karbon Practice Intelligence?

It’s no mistake that Karbon Practice Intelligence’s acronym is synonymous with the Key Performance Indicator. KPI helps you focus on the metrics that matter most to your firm, so you can cut through the noise to get to actionable insights.

KPI plays a pivotal role in accessing data from Karbon and pairing this with any data warehouse of your choice, which you can use to better understand your data holistically.

By allowing you to see historical information, you can leverage KPI to understand your firm’s profitability and make informed decisions around key areas like revenue and profit, pricing, and process improvements.
