Financial overview
The Financial overview is Shillinq's home screen. It shows the key financial figures of your company derived from your bookkeeping register in real time.
What you see
KPI strip
The top row shows the four most important figures for the selected period:
| Card | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Turnover (YTD) | Total invoiced revenue in the period |
| Margin (YTD) | Revenue minus direct costs, with percentage |
| Open debtors | Sum of unpaid customer invoices (accounts receivable) |
| Open creditors | Sum of unpaid supplier bills (accounts payable) |
| Cash position | Current bank balance(s) across all reconciled accounts |
| Billable this month | Uninvoiced time entries eligible for billing |
Charts
Each chart shows data for the selected date range and has its own date chip in the top-right corner of the widget. Click the chip to change the period without leaving the dashboard.
| Widget | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Turnover per month | Monthly revenue bars |
| Margin per month | Revenue vs. costs vs. margin |
| Cashflow | Weekly net cash in/out |
| Billable hours | Recorded vs. invoiced hours per month |
Open invoice tables
Below the charts, two tables list outstanding items that need attention:
- Open debtors — customer invoices not yet paid, oldest first
- Open creditors — supplier bills not yet paid, oldest first
Date range
All KPI cards and charts respond to the same date range picker, shown as a pill on each widget (e.g. Jun 15, 2025 – Jun 14, 2026). Click any pill to open the picker and choose a preset or a custom range:
| Preset | Period |
|---|---|
| Last 3 months | Rolling 91 days |
| Last 6 months | Rolling 183 days |
| Last 12 months | Rolling 365 days |
| Last 24 months | Rolling 730 days |
The selected range is saved per browser session and restored on next visit.
Quick actions
The three buttons in the top-right of the page header provide shortcuts to the most common daily tasks:
| Button | Takes you to |
|---|---|
| Import bill | Supplier invoices — record a new purchase invoice |
| Create invoice | Accounts receivable — draft a new customer invoice |
| Import bank | Bank reconciliation — upload a bank statement |
Understanding the numbers
The financial figures are derived from the bookkeeping register. They are only accurate when:
- All supplier bills are recorded (see Import a bill).
- All customer invoices are created and sent (see Create an invoice).
- Bank statements are reconciled up to the current period (see Import bank statements).
If a number looks wrong, check whether there are unmatched bank transactions in Bookkeeping → Bank reconciliation.
