Overview

XLReporting is a cloud-based corporate performance management (CPM) platform for financial reporting, consolidation, budgeting, and forecasting. Founded in 2009 and based in Utrecht, Netherlands, the company grew out of a bespoke Excel add-in built for large clients such as ICL, Fujitsu, and Kaplan before launching a web application in 2019. It targets finance teams at SMBs, mid-market companies, non-profits, and accounting firms across sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and professional services.

The platform automates three core workflows: importing and validating data from accounting systems, ERPs, spreadsheets, and databases; generating financial and management reports with interactive dashboards and drill-down; and building multi-version budgets and forecasts that consolidate automatically across companies, currencies, and cost centers. Its distinguishing design choice is a built-in spreadsheet editor with Excel-compatible formulas, so finance teams keep a familiar modeling interface instead of learning a rigid BI tool, while still getting database-backed consolidation, workflow, and audit trails.

XLReporting documents 40+ connectors spanning accounting platforms (Xero, QuickBooks, Exact Online, Twinfield, Sage, Visma Net), ERPs (SAP Business One, Oracle Cloud, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365), file formats, cloud storage, databases, and iPaaS tools (Zapier, n8n, Dataddo, Hevo). It is ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant, with data hosted in EU-based Digital Ocean data centers. A dedicated Partner plan lets accounting firms and consultancies deliver branded, client-specific reporting and budgeting solutions on the platform.
