A Great Tool To Simplify Finance Analytics !
Top-performing CFOs, Controllers & Finance professionals have learned that influence over the business, has to be earned by continually meeting or exceeding business expectations. Trust must be earned by providing robust decision support information to senior management that can positively influence key business decisions. Yet many finance functions are struggling, hampered by the limitations of the tools they use.
While Excel has been the tool, most predominantly used, it is more a Personal Productivity tool & not meant for enterprise reporting. It also has its own risks, with reference to formulas going wrong & presenting a totally wrong picture in a management meeting.

Tableau Benefits
With Tableau, Finance professionals can:
- Analyze revenue trends and profit fluctuations
- Audit spending and key cost ratios by department and employee
- Automate production of monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow reports
- Analyze performance of key metrics across sales, margins, and inventory
- Benchmark the profitability of products, business units, and divisions
- Utilize reports on expenditures by vendor across locations
The driving force behind Tableau is that companies are drowning in unrelated facts that come from silos: payroll data, financial data, customer data, vendor data, and so on. Tableau pulls all that data together and correlates it. It turns large amounts of data into “sweet spots” of information for value-added decision – making. Tableau helps organize and package information in ways that enable managers to dynamically explore, examine and analyze organizational data from a number of different perspectives. This information is used to analyze product, plant and customer profitability, identifying margin erosion items and for quick action of profit improvement opportunities such as value selling/pricing and improvement of customer service levels.

"We are proud of our association with Clark and Kent. Clark and Kent is a young organization that understands and values talent as people beyond resumes. What separates them from others is the fact that the team at Clark and Kent is made up of people fresh out of the industry, and is advised by a set of honorary mentors who are stalwarts in their respective areas. I am always confident that they understand the profile of a mandate and would fulfill it in a timely and satisfactory manner through their wide network of contacts within the industry. They understand people are key and it gives me great confidence that they can be our arms and brains to search for the right candidate.
We treasure the association..."

"I have known Mr. Sudarshan Narayan for the past over 10 years now. More recently in Onida, we have used the services of Clark & Kent and would like to place on record, my sincere appreciation for the speed of response and the professional contributions, reflected in all our dealings with Sudarshan in particular, and Clark & Kent in general.
Though the position we gave him was very senior, Sudarshan was able to respond against a very strict timeline and exceeded his delivery against milestones; both in terms of quality of CVs sourced, as well as the time taken for the same.
On meeting with the candidates, our Chairman as well as CEO were impressed to see the fit between the candidate profile and our requirement. This showed that Clark & Kent had clearly understood our needs and gone to great lengths to identify suitable and appropriate candidates. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm for any senior level openings and complimenting Clark & Kent for their proficiency and strong network."
