We built InScope because we’ve been in our customer’s shoes. As former accountants, managers and controllers we know the pain of financial reporting – the late nights spent formatting tables, the stress of checking and rechecking numbers and the drudgery of ensuring consistency across long documents. Those experiences shaped our initial product features, we focused on eliminating the most time consuming yet lowest value tasks that plague financial reporting teams.
Automated Formatting: Your time is too valuable for font selection
Let’s be real – no one went into accounting because they loved formatting Word documents. Yet, hours are spent each week adjusting fonts, aligning numbers and updating table layouts. We believe beautiful financial statements shouldn’t come at the cost of your time.
InScope’s autoformatting means every financial table is perfectly presented from the moment it’s generated.
No more:
- Manually aligning decimal points
- Adjusting column widths
- Fighting with Word’s table formatting
- Standardizing fonts and styles across documents
Your time should be spent on the numbers, not making them look pretty. We handle the presentation layer automatically, delivering beautiful documents and giving you back hours of your week.
Footing and CrossFooting: Accuracy without the Calculator
“Trust but verify” is a fundamental principle in accounting. But verification shouldn’t require hours with a calculator checking if columns add up or hunting down rounding differences.
As Alex Gee, Head of Technical Accounting and Reporting at OpenAI, said in a recent webinar with us:
"If these tools had been available earlier in my career, I could have saved thousands of hours of grunt work and redirected that time to higher-order strategic work."
InScope automatically:
- Validates all mathematical calculations in tables
- Flags any discrepancies for review
It’s not just about saving time – it’s about confidence. When readers see even small mathematical errors in financial statements it can erode trust in the entire document. We eliminate that risk and free your team from tedious verification work.
Internal Consistency Checks: Because numbers tell a story
Financial statements are interconnected stories where the same numbers appear multiple times, telling different parts of the same story. Ensuring consistency between the face of the financials and the footnotes has been a manual, time consuming process prone to human error.
Our internal consistency checks do:
- Track financial statement line items across the entire document
- Verify values match between primary statements and footnotes
- Flag any inconsistencies for review
- Standardize how values are presented and described
This process eliminates the risk of numbers appearing in different parts of your financial statements and your financial story remains consistent and accurate throughout.
Linking and Syncing: One Source of Truth
Perhaps the most important of our core features is the automatic linking and syncing of all values to a single source of truth. Whether your data is in an ERP system or Excel files, InScope ensures that:
- Every occurrence of a value is updated when the source changes
- Numbers in tables and narrative descriptions stay in sync
- Changes flow through all related calculations and footnotes
It’s not just about speed – it’s about eliminating human error. When a number changes you shouldn’t have to go hunting through a document to update every instance of that value and all related calculations. InScope does that for you, so your financial statements stay accurate and consistent.
Future Proof
These are the core of the InScope platform but this is just the start. We’re going to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in financial reporting automation.
We built these features because we lived the problems they solve. Every hour saved on formatting, checking math or updating numbers is an hour your team can spend on analysis, business partnering and adding real value to your organisation.
