About this dashboard
See your business’s financial health in one view. This Excel dashboard brings together fifteen ratios across liquidity, leverage, profitability and operating efficiency. Review cash coverage, debt levels, margins and collection performance side by side to understand where the business is strong and where it needs attention.
Each metric shows its latest result alongside a 12-month average, threshold levels and an industry benchmark. Traffic-light indicators make exceptions easy to identify, while the monthly ratio history helps you distinguish a recent change from a persistent issue. Set thresholds that reflect your business and reporting priorities so the status indicators provide useful context for each review.
Use the dashboard for monthly finance meetings, management reporting and board updates. CFOs, finance teams and business owners can start with the summary, identify the ratios that warrant discussion, then refer to the supporting financial statements for detail. It gives everyone a consistent view of performance and a clear starting point for questions about liquidity, profitability and debt capacity.
What every dashboard includes
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.
What's inside the Financial Health Dashboard
- Assumptions sheet with named-range P&L drivers, opening BS, working-capital days, capital plan, and per-ratio thresholds
- 12-month Income Statement: revenue, COGS, gross profit, opex, EBITDA, depreciation, EBIT, interest, EBT, tax, net income
- 12-month Balance Sheet with cash as the plug that ties total assets to liabilities plus equity, with a balance-check row that resolves to zero
- Ratios sheet with 15 ratios across four families: liquidity (3), solvency (4), profitability (5), efficiency (3)
- Direction-aware traffic-light logic so leverage ratios trigger correctly when higher is worse
- Dashboard with latest, 12-month average, green and amber thresholds, status string, and industry benchmark per ratio
Formatted to IB standards
Named theme colors repaint the whole workbook in one click, on top of an investment-banking structure with clear input, output, and cross-sheet reference styling - brand-ready, institutional-grade, and fully auditable.
Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.

Frequently asked
What is a financial health dashboard?+
A financial health dashboard ties a small set of P&L and balance-sheet flows to a panel of ratios across liquidity, solvency, profitability, and efficiency families, then flags each ratio against a threshold. It is how CFOs, controllers, and lenders read the state of a business at a glance without scrolling through a full 3-statement model.
How is cash calculated on the balance sheet?+
Cash is the plug that ties total assets to total liabilities plus equity: Cash = (Total liab + Equity) − AR − Inventory − Net PP&E. This makes the balance check row resolve to zero in every period and keeps the model self-consistent without a separate cash-flow statement.
Why are some ratios direction-flipped?+
Higher leverage is worse, so debt-to-equity and debt-to-assets earn a "Healthy" status when the ratio is below the green threshold, not above it. The Assumptions sheet carries a per-ratio direction code (1 = higher better, -1 = lower better) and the Dashboard status formula flips its comparator accordingly.
Are the profitability ratios annualised?+
Yes for ROA, ROE, asset turnover, and inventory turnover - these multiply the monthly numerator by 12 before dividing by the period balance so the figures read on a comparable annual basis. Gross margin, EBITDA margin, and net margin are intra-period and need no annualisation.
Can I plug in my own P&L and balance sheet?+
Yes. Replace the formula-driven cells on the Income_Statement and Balance_Sheet sheets with recorded numbers in the same row layout. The Ratios and Dashboard sheets recalculate immediately. The balance check row will catch any inconsistency between recorded assets and liabilities-plus-equity.
