How is FP&A different from ERP?

ERP records business transactions. FP&A analyses those transactions to understand performance, plan future activity and support financial decisions.

Can MIS be generated directly from ERP?

Yes. With the appropriate ledger mappings, segment definitions, allocation rules and validation controls, monthly MIS can be generated from ERP data, with manual adjustments where necessary.

Can FP&A calculate SKU-level profitability?

Yes, provided reliable product costing, revenue, returns, logistics and allocated expense data are available.

Can advertising spend be allocated to individual products?

Yes. Platform and campaign data can be allocated using agreed attribution and cost-allocation rules. The resulting SKU profitability depends on the quality of those rules and the underlying data.

Can ERP forecast cash flow?

Yes. Expected collections, payment obligations, planned payouts, payroll, statutory dues and bank balances can support a rolling cash forecast.

Does Akhilam replace the finance team?

No. Automation reduces repetitive preparation and reconciliation, while finance teams retain responsibility for validation, interpretation, adjustments and decisions.

[problems we solve]

The Numbers Exist. The Answers Don't.

Monthly MIS Built by Hand

Finance teams spend days collecting, reconciling and formatting data instead of analysing performance.

Revenue Growth Without Margin Clarity

Sales grow, but discounts, commissions, returns, logistics and marketing consume the contribution.

Products With Unknown True Profitability

SKU costs and advertising spend aren't connected, so profitable products are hard to tell from expensive growth.

Profit on Paper. Cash Under Pressure.

Receivables, supplier payments, inventory and statutory dues are not translated into a forward-looking cash position.

Exception readouts are illustrative.
