What this article covers: A reference for BrizoSystem's built-in KPIs — what each one measures, how it is calculated, and which category it belongs to. No configuration is needed; all KPIs are available as soon as your data is connected and mapped.
BrizoSystem includes a comprehensive set of pre-built KPIs calculated automatically from your consolidated data. They can be viewed in Pulse, added to dashboards, included in custom reports, and used as health score inputs — without any manual formula setup.
Concept How it works
Data source All KPIs are derived from your consolidation data — trial balances, transactions, and mapped accounts
Movement-based Calculated from period changes — e.g., Revenue Growth, EBITDA. Use for income statement metrics.
Balance-based Calculated from closing balances — e.g., Current Ratio, Debt to Equity. Use for balance sheet metrics.
Automatic updates All built-in KPIs recalculate automatically whenever consolidation data is refreshed — no manual intervention needed
