Standard Operating Procedure

Registry ID: TR-YEAR-TO-

Financial Modeling Architecture: YTD P&L System

1. System Overview & Purpose

Purpose: To aggregate transactional revenue and expenditure data into a dynamic YTD Profit & Loss statement for management reporting and tax preparation.
Scope: Tracks accrual-based or cash-based transactions categorized by General Ledger (GL) codes.
Update Cadence: Weekly reconciliation against bank feeds; monthly close process.

2. Data Structure & Column Definitions

The "Master_Ledger" sheet must use a Table structure (Ctrl+T) to ensure dynamic range expansion.

Field Name	Data Type	Validation Rule	Description
Date	Date	`dd/mm/yyyy`	Transaction date
GL Category	List	Dropdown (Revenue, COGS, OpEx)	Categorization for P&L grouping
Sub-Category	Text	Free-form	Detailed description (e.g., SaaS, Rent)
Transaction	Text	Free-form	Vendor or Payer name
Amount	Currency	Numeric	Use negative for outflows
Status	List	{Cleared, Pending}	Reconciliation state

3. Master Data Table (Mock)

Date	GL Category	Sub-Category	Transaction	Amount	Status
2023-01-05	Revenue	Consulting	Client A	5000.00	Cleared
2023-01-10	OpEx	Software	AWS	-250.00	Cleared
2023-01-15	OpEx	Rent	Office Lease	-1200.00	Cleared
2023-02-02	Revenue	Consulting	Client B	6500.00	Cleared
2023-02-12	COGS	Freelance	Subcontractor	-1500.00	Cleared
2023-02-20	OpEx	Marketing	LinkedIn Ads	-400.00	Pending
2023-03-05	Revenue	Licensing	Software Sale	2000.00	Cleared
2023-03-10	OpEx	Travel	Flight Expense	-600.00	Cleared

4. Key Formulas & Calculation Logic

A. Monthly Aggregation (Helper Column)

To group by month, add a column Month =TEXT([@Date], "mmm-yy").

B. Summary Dashboard Calculations

Total Revenue: =SUMIF(Table1[GL Category], "Revenue", Table1[Amount])
Total Expenses (COGS + OpEx): =SUMIFS(Table1[Amount], Table1[GL Category], "<>Revenue")
Net Profit: =SUM(Table1[Amount])
Profit Margin (%): =IFERROR([Net Profit]/[Total Revenue], 0)

C. Dynamic P&L Matrix

Use a Pivot Table where:

Rows: GL Category and Sub-Category
Columns: Month
Values: Sum of Amount

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

Metric	Calculation / Formula
Gross Profit	`Revenue - COGS`
EBITDA (Approx)	`Revenue - (COGS + OpEx)`
Burn Rate	`AVERAGEIF(Table1[GL Category], "<>Revenue", Table1[Amount])`
Cash Runway	`Cash_Balance / ABS(Burn_Rate)`

6. Standard Operating Workflow

Ingestion: Download CSV statements from financial institutions.
Normalization: Paste data into the Master_Ledger table. Ensure all new rows are within the Table formatting.
Categorization: Verify that every transaction has a GL Category assigned. Use XLOOKUP against a Categories sheet if necessary to automate.
Reconciliation: Filter by Status = "Pending". Cross-reference with bank balance to update status to "Cleared".
Refresh: Navigate to the Dashboard tab, right-click the Pivot Table, and select Refresh.
Review: Conduct a variance analysis comparing current month performance against previous months or budget targets.
