G1 Insight

Your business doesn’t just produce data.G1 helps you understand what it is telling you.

Most reporting waits to be asked. Insight works the other way round: it reads what the business is doing, notices what does not fit, and brings you the handful of things worth your attention — with the reasoning attached.

See the streamTalk to G1

“G1 Insight” is a working name. The 12 observations on this page are illustrative examples of the shape a finding takes — not results measured at a real business.

The stream

Not another dashboard waiting to be opened.

Observations arrive as the business produces them. Each one opens into the reasoning behind it — and where an analyst has looked at it, the role that reviewed it is on the record.

    A supplier bill looks like one you have already paid

    Same amount, same reference, eleven days apart.

    What G1 noticed
    A bill for €18,400 matches the amount and reference of one posted on the 6th. Both are approved, one is already in a payment run. The supplier has never invoiced the same reference twice in three years of history.
    Why it matters
    €18,400 leaves the bank on Friday unless somebody stops it. Recovering an overpayment takes weeks. Stopping one takes a minute.
    The question for management
    “Is this a second invoice for the same work, or the same invoice twice?”
    Suggested next step
    Hold the payment run line and confirm with the supplier before release.

    Reviewed by a finance analyst

    Three years of this supplier's history were checked before it was raised. They have never reused a reference.

    Gross margin has drifted for four periods

    Not a spike. A direction.

    What G1 noticed
    Gross margin has fallen in each of the last four months, from 34.0% to 31.6%. Volume and mix are close to plan, so this is price and input cost rather than demand. One product line accounts for most of the movement.
    Why it matters
    Four periods in one direction is not noise. At this rate the year lands two points under plan, which is most of the operating profit.
    The question for management
    “Do we put the price up, change the input, or accept the new margin?”
    Suggested next step
    Review the price list on the affected line against current input cost.

    Reviewed by a finance analyst

    Volume and mix were ruled out first. What is left is price and input cost.

    A good customer has quietly started paying late

    From day 35 to day 58 across four invoices.

    What G1 noticed
    This account paid on day 35 for two years. The last four invoices settled on days 44, 49, 55 and 58. Nothing is formally overdue under their terms, so it has not appeared on an aging report. Exposure is now 92% of their credit limit.
    Why it matters
    Nothing is formally overdue, so no aging report has flagged it. A customer whose payments slide 23 days across four invoices is usually solving a problem of their own.
    The question for management
    “Do we keep shipping on the same terms while they take three more weeks?”
    Suggested next step
    Worth a conversation before the next order ships, not after.

    You are leaving an early settlement discount on the table

    Two suppliers, consistently paid just after the discount window.

    What G1 noticed
    Two suppliers offer 2% for settlement within ten days. Over the last six months, bills from both were paid on average on day 13. The cash was available on each of those dates.
    Why it matters
    This costs nothing but a different payment date. The cash was in the account on every one of those dates.
    The question for management
    “Is there a reason we pay these two on day 13 rather than day 10?”
    Suggested next step
    Move both suppliers into an earlier payment run and check the cash impact.

    Reviewed by a finance analyst

    The cash position on each payment date was checked before this was raised. None of them were tight.

    Why did freight per shipment step up in week 34?

    A step, not a spike — which usually means something changed.

    What G1 noticed
    Freight cost per shipment rose 22% in week 34 and has stayed there for three weeks. That pattern is a change in arrangement rather than a one-off. Nothing in the ledger explains it — the answer is probably operational.
    Why it matters
    A step that holds for three weeks is a new normal, not an incident. If nobody decided it, somebody should.
    The question for management
    “Did we change carrier, route or packaging — and did anyone price it?”
    Suggested next step
    Confirm whether the carrier or the route changed, then rebase the range.

    Three recurring costs are not accrued

    Known, regular, and landing in the wrong period.

    What G1 noticed
    Three costs recur every month within a narrow range, and each one posts when the invoice arrives rather than when it relates to. The result is a profit and loss that moves for timing reasons, in a business where margin is being watched to the decimal.
    Why it matters
    Monthly profit moves by €27,500 for reasons nobody caused, in a business where margin is watched to the decimal. Every month gets argued about and none of it is real.
    The question for management
    “Are we comfortable explaining a swing that is only timing?”
    Suggested next step
    Set up accrual schedules so each cost lands in the period it belongs to.

  • Anomalyoperational

    The corporate card balance has not cleared in four months

    It grows a little every month and nobody owns it.

    What G1 noticed
    The card control account has carried an unreconciled balance since May, rising from €2,100 to €9,800. The pattern suggests claims are being submitted for some transactions and not others, rather than a single missing entry.
    Why it matters
    An account nobody owns grows until it becomes a write-off. This one has grown every month for four months.
    The question for management
    “Who is responsible for clearing the card account each month?”
    Suggested next step
    Match the card feed against submitted claims and identify the gap by cardholder.

    Cash dips below your working minimum in week 7

    On current commitments, not on an assumption.

    What G1 noticed
    Projected from open receivables, approved payables and committed spend, cash reaches its lowest point in week 7 — below the minimum this business has said it wants to hold. Two large customer receipts on either side of that week decide whether it happens.
    Why it matters
    This is projected from commitments already made, not from an assumed sale. Two receipts decide whether week 7 happens at all.
    The question for management
    “Do we confirm those receipts, or move the payment run?”
    Suggested next step
    Confirm the timing of the two large receipts before committing the payment run.

    Reviewed by a fractional finance lead

    Built from open receivables and approved payables only. No assumed new sales.

    One approver is holding 18 of 22 waiting documents

    A process problem wearing a month-end costume.

    What G1 noticed
    22 supplier bills are waiting on approval. 18 sit with the same approver, who has not been active since Tuesday. This is the third month in a row that the same route has become the constraint at close.
    Why it matters
    Third month running on the same route. This is a structural problem wearing a month-end costume, and it costs two days of close every time.
    The question for management
    “Who covers this route when the approver is away?”
    Suggested next step
    Add a delegate to that approval route, or a threshold that shares the load.

    One supplier now accounts for 41% of input cost

    Concentration builds slowly and then matters suddenly.

    What G1 noticed
    Spend with one supplier has risen from 26% to 41% of total input cost over eighteen months, mostly through convenience rather than a decision. The commercial terms have not been renegotiated in that time.
    Why it matters
    41% of input cost runs through one relationship that has not been renegotiated in eighteen months. Concentration is only a problem on the day it is.
    The question for management
    “Did we choose this supplier share, or did it happen to us?”
    Suggested next step
    Worth either a renegotiation or a second source, and probably both.

    Revenue is growing, but the mix is moving to lower margin

    The top line looks fine. The bottom line will not.

    What G1 noticed
    Revenue is up 9% year on year. Within that, the lower-margin category has grown 31% and the higher-margin one has fallen 4%. On current mix, gross profit grows by 2% rather than 9%.
    Why it matters
    The growth is real and so is the dilution. The top line will be celebrated at the board meeting; the gross profit will not.
    The question for management
    “Is the lower-margin category a decision, or the path of least resistance?”
    Suggested next step
    Decide whether the mix shift is a strategy or an accident.

    The close is two days faster than it was in January

    Worth knowing which change did it.

    What G1 noticed
    Time from period end to a locked period has fallen from nine days to seven. Most of the gain is in bank reconciliation, which now clears on day two instead of day five. The remaining delay is concentrated in one approval route.
    Why it matters
    Two days back every month, and the reason is identifiable rather than lucky. The same change applies to the step still holding the close up.
    The question for management
    “What exactly changed in bank reconciliation, and where else does it apply?”
    Suggested next step
    The same pattern would apply to the approval route still holding two days.

The rhythm

Continuous underneath. Periodic where you need it.

The analysis never stops. What reaches you is paced to how decisions actually get made — daily where something is wrong, monthly where something needs thinking about.

  1. Continuously

    Every posting, as it lands

    Each entry is compared against what this business normally does. Not a benchmark — its own twelve months.

  2. Daily

    Exceptions, to the person who can act

    Anything that does not fit goes to the owner of that account with the evidence attached, not to a shared inbox.

  3. Weekly

    The short list, ranked

    What actually moved, what is worth chasing, and what can wait. Usually fewer than ten things.

  4. Monthly

    A briefing someone has read

    The observations that matter, written up, with a person's judgement on top of the analysis.

The document

What a Monday briefing looks like

  • Every figure traceable to the postings behind it
  • The question it raises, written out
  • A role signed against the judgement

Reviewed by a finance analyst before it was sent

The analysis is continuous. The judgement on what matters is a person’s, and the role that signed it is on the document.

People, still

Automation and AI do not replace human expertise.

A system can tell you that margin fell and which accounts caused it. Deciding whether to put the price up, change the supplier, or leave it alone is a judgement — and judgement is a person's job.

All services

The human layer is not a separate consulting business bolted onto a product. It is the same platform, with people attached where people are what the problem needs.
