All Quarterly Benchmarking participants upload financial and operating data into our secure platform. The CoMetrics Dashboard delivers benchmarks that pinpoint specific areas you can focus on and gain useful insights.
After your company has been established and is fully engaged in the program, you will log in to submit a quarterly trial balance report. The program relies on cumulative Year-to-Date reports based on your fiscal year. Dashboards typically update within a day or two and include a look at your data alongside benchmarks driven by peer data.
The uploaded file is a trial balance summary report from your accounting system that includes an ending balance. Each upload contains data from the balance sheet and income statement that starts on the first day of your fiscal year and continues through the end of the most recent period that has closed. Please ensure the report is always in the same format for each upload, including any header, blank rows, and column names.
Submit the file on the Uploads page of the CoMetrics site. Select "Trial Balance" from the menu and choose the closing date that corresponds with the period end date of your file. Want more details on file format and how to submit? Check out - Get started with Quarterly Benchmarking.
