See where you're heading.

Every number that matters, trended automatically from the first period you upload. Cash, margin, AR, AP, net income on the financial side. On‑time delivery, quote win rates, sales and profit by customer, inventory counts on the operational side.

Portfolio view — every company's cash, trending, with entities ranked by runway.

Each surfaces with its 12‑period sparkline, its prior‑period delta, and its trajectory — so you see the direction before the meeting, not during it. Every template knows what matters in its data — the totals, the KPIs, the composition breakdowns — and extracts them automatically, so the dashboard is live the moment your first upload validates. No dashboard‑building. No report pipelines. If your team is already exporting it, Coherence is already trending it.
ii. Signal / Beat two of three

See what needs your attention.

Low runway. Slow collections. Tight liquidity. Margin compression. An on‑time delivery rate that slipped below target. A quote pipeline that's growing — or shrinking.

Period Reports — every obligation, every period, every status. Two items behind this month, surfaced automatically.

Coherence flags all of it, on the surface you're already looking at. You don't hunt for problems. You don't build filters. Signals tell you which entity, which report, and which period triggered the flag.
For the controller
And for the recurring reports your team owes each period — Coherence knows what's due, who owes it, and what's late. You see what's missing before it blocks the close, not after. No more chasing files. No more "did you send me your AR aging?" emails.
iii. Steer / Beat three of three

Act on what you see.

One click from any signal to the source it came from. Portfolio to transaction, or obligation to dashboard, in one session. No logins between surfaces. No exports. No reconstructing the trail.

Click a low‑runway chip and you're in that entity's dashboard. Click a metric card and you're on its 12‑period history. Click a row on the underlying statement and — for entities running on Coherence — you're in the transaction register looking at the invoices driving it.

The whole point of capturing and trending the data is that you can act on it.

Coherence keeps the distance between seeing and acting as short as a single click.

The reveal

There's a real accounting system underneath.

Most finance dashboards sit on top of someone else's books — a BI tool pulling from QuickBooks, a spreadsheet stitched together every close. Your drill path stops at an export button, and your numbers are secondhand.

Coherence is different. Your data lands in a real ledger — posted, validated, audit‑logged, drillable — whether an entity is uploading a trial balance each period or running its full operation on Coherence.

And when an entity is ready to run native, AP, AR, bank reconciliation, inventory, and period close move onto Coherence with the depth of a standalone accounting system. Both modes feed the same Portfolio view, so a group with some entities uploading and others running native sees one combined picture.

Built by DocuLedger — nearly a decade of accounting systems running under PE scrutiny behind it.

Multi‑company accounting. Operations reporting. A real ledger underneath. It's one product.

Getting started

You don't switch accounting systems to use Coherence.

Upload a chart of accounts for each entity you want to track. Upload a trial balance per period from whatever you're running today. Subscribe to the Period Reports templates your team already produces — financial or operational.

That's it. The Portfolio view opens with a year of trajectory across every entity. The Period Reports dashboards build themselves. Signals start firing from the first upload forward.

When an entity is ready to run natively on Coherence, flip it — same Portfolio view, more depth underneath. Some entities native, some uploading, some both. Your call.

No migration consultants. · No chart‑of‑accounts redesign. · No parallel running.

Chart of accounts

Spreadsheet upload. Three required columns — Account Code, Account Name, GL Account Type — plus optional Is Cash / Is AR / Is AP flags. Thirteen GL types, each accepting multiple name variants (PPE, Fixed Assets, and Property_Plant_Equipment all map the same). Booleans accept yes, true, 1, ✓.

2

Trial balance per period

Coherence posts each one as a balanced General Journal Entry. Twelve months of history is live the first time you open the portfolio.

3

Subscribe to templates

AR aging, bank registers, sales detail, payroll, on‑time delivery — whatever matters. Existing historical exports backfill the same way.

Steer.

And — when you're ready — flip any entity to native operations. The portfolio view works identically.
