Accounting and finance advisory · Casilda, Argentina

Estudio MD is an accounting and finance advisory firm in Casilda (Santa Fe, Argentina), led by public accountant Leandro Marani. It uses Fibady to give its clients' management what the ERP did not: a P&L for each business area, with its margin, updated from the books and with no spreadsheet to rebuild every month.

## Who is Estudio MD?

Estudio MD handles accounting, tax and management information for companies in the south of Santa Fe province, many of them tied to farming. Beyond meeting accounting and tax obligations, it supports each client's management with the numbers they need to decide.

## The problem: the data is in the ERP, but the manager cannot see it

One of its clients is a farming business with several activities. All the information was already in its ERP, but there was no quick dashboard for management. To know how much each activity earned, someone had to export the data and prepare the balance sheet and [cost centre](/glossary/cost-center) reports by hand in Excel.

It is a common situation at accounting firms. The ERP records well, but it does not explain. And every tailored report is hours not spent advising.

## How does an accounting firm get a P&L by cost centre with Fibady?

1. **Connect the client's ERP.** Fibady reads the books straight from the software. In this case an API integration was built together with the ERP vendor.
2. **Group cost centres into business areas.** The ERP's cost centres are gathered into areas, and each area has its own P&L.
3. **Link each direct cost to its revenue.** The gross margin of every line is then calculated automatically.
4. **Build custom views.** One view per area, with only the rows that matter, and columns comparing the month with the previous one in amount or percentage.
5. **Add your own metrics.** Indicators calculated from the accounts, such as the margin of a specific line, on a [dashboard](/product/dashboards-and-metrics).
6. **Project.** [Plans and scenarios](/product/budgeting) with projection rules for the coming months, built on the actual P&L.

The client works in pesos and also invoices in dollars. In Fibady it reads the same reports in either currency ([dual currency](/glossary/dual-currency)), which lets it compare periods under inflation.

## What changes for the firm and for its client?

The firm no longer prepares cost-centre reports by hand. The books reach Fibady from the ERP, and people at the company sign in with their own user to see their area's P&L. The time that used to go into building the spreadsheet now goes into reviewing the numbers with the client.


## Who is this case for?

An accounting firm whose clients ask for more than the balance sheet, and any company with several activities that wants to know how much it earns from each. If that is you, see how [Fibady works with accounting firms and fractional CFOs](/solutions/fractional-cfo-and-advisors).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can an accounting firm use Fibady with several clients?

Yes. Each client is an account with its own entities, users and permissions. The firm's team accesses all of them from one profile, and each client sees only its own. Users are unlimited and the price is US$200 per entity per month.

### Can you see the P&L by cost centre or by business area?

Yes. Fibady reads the ERP's cost centres or analytical accounts and lets you group them into areas. Each area has its own P&L, with the margin of every revenue line and drill-down to the journal entry.

### Does Fibady do Argentine inflation-adjusted accounting?

No. Fibady does not recalculate the accounting inflation adjustment. What it does allow is reading the same reports in pesos or in dollars, at the exchange rate the company sets for each period, which is how many companies compare different years.

### What if my client's ERP has no connector?

It still works. You export the general journal to Excel or CSV and Fibady saves the column mapping for future uploads. If the ERP vendor offers an API, a direct integration can also be built, as in this case.
