What Is Manual Reporting Costing You?

Eight inputs. Two minutes. A number you can put in front of your board.

No email required • The math is shown • Built for multi-entity operators

Every acquisition adds another system, another export, another set of numbers that do not match. This page puts an annual dollar figure on that drag, computed from your own inputs. Nothing is gated and nothing is submitted. Copy the link and the result travels with it.

Count instances, not products. Nine iClassPro instances is nine systems.
Anyone who exports, pastes, reconciles, or fixes numbers each cycle.

$70/hr is roughly a $145K a year fully loaded cost. Edit it to yours.

Manual reporting is costing you roughly $27K to $50K a year.

Rounded. Computed from your inputs above. Change any of them and the number follows.

Days a year run on last period's numbers (12 month-ends)

What this number leaves out, on purpose. The figure above is payroll arithmetic only. It leaves out the cost of errors that reach a board deck, decisions made two weeks late, the analysis those people would produce if they were not assembling numbers, and what un-reconcilable numbers do to diligence when you sell. A form cannot price those honestly, so this one does not.

Assumptions, all editable: the hourly cost and hours are yours to change above. A new entity is assumed to add the average load of your current ones; in practice the first year usually runs worse. Wiring a new entity's numbers into the reporting pack defaults to hours, our default from post-acquisition data-onboarding work.

If this number is worth killing, that is the conversation to have.
