Have questions? Here are some of the most common things teams ask before getting started.
Creative Total Media offers multiple reporting layers built on Business Central, including built-in financial reports, the Cosmos reporting app, JET Reports for Excel-based reporting, and Power BI for visual dashboards. Production teams can access pre-built report templates that show budget versus actual at production, department, and cost code level in real time.
Yes. Reporting tools such as Power BI dashboards and portal-based views can be made available to non-finance stakeholders so that producers, commissioners, and senior management can access the reports relevant to them without requiring a full ERP licence or access to the accounting system itself.
Power BI connects directly to Business Central through Microsoft's native data connectors, which means dashboards can be refreshed automatically on a schedule or near-real-time basis depending on your configuration. For most operational reporting purposes, your Power BI reports will reflect transactions posted within the last few minutes to a few hours.
Both options are available. Creative Total Media's platform includes a library of media industry report templates as a starting point, but the reporting tools (particularly JET Reports and Power BI) are fully customisable. If you have specific KPIs, board report formats, or investor reporting requirements, the consultancy team can build these to your exact specification.
The reporting tools in Business Central make it straightforward to extract the trial balance, aged debtor and creditor reports, fixed asset schedules, and other outputs required for statutory accounts preparation. Because all production, royalty, and talent transactions sit in the same general ledger, there is no need to consolidate data from separate systems before presenting it to auditors.
