KPIs and widgets

The Dashboard is Aikount's home board: a snapshot of your business health in a few cards. The headline KPIs are calculated on an accrual (devengo) basis — by the date of the operation, not the date it was paid or collected. That way they reconcile with your accounting and with what you report on the tax models.

The four headline KPIs#

• Sales — total invoiced in the period (accrual revenue). Credit notes and refunds are netted out, not shown separately.
• Expenses — total purchases and expenses for the period, already categorized in the Spanish chart of accounts.
• Result — Sales minus Expenses: the profit (or loss) for the period.
• Margin — the profit margin on sales, calculated as Result ÷ Sales. Shown as a percentage.

Because all four are on an accrual basis, they stay consistent with each other: Result = Sales − Expenses and Margin = Result ÷ Sales. Don't mix these figures with your bank balance, which is treasury (cash), not accrual.

Other widgets#

Besides the KPIs, the Dashboard includes widget cards summarizing other areas:

• Treasury — the total available balance and the breakdown per account (each bank, Stripe or PayPal is a treasury). More in Treasuries and balances.
• Upcoming taxes — the AEAT models with a near deadline, so you don't miss a filing date. More in Tax calendar.
• Pending reconciliation — how many bank movements are still to be linked to their invoice or expense. More in How reconciliation works.

Accrual vs treasury#

This is the key distinction for reading the Dashboard correctly:

• The KPIs (Sales, Expenses, Result, Margin) measure the period's activity on an accrual basis: what you invoiced and what you spent, whether or not it has been collected/paid.
• The treasury widget measures the real money you have in your accounts right now.

A business can have a healthy Result but little treasury (invoices issued but not yet collected), or the reverse. Seeing both figures together is what gives the full picture.
