Finances
A comprehensive financial hub for tracking profitability, managing budgets, forecasting cash flow, and planning payments.
What is the Financial Hub?
The Financial Hub is a comprehensive suite of tools for managing the financial health of your business. It brings together profitability tracking, budget management, cash flow forecasting, and payment planning into a single, unified view — so you always know where your money is coming from and where it is going.
How it works
Revenue flows into the Financial Hub automatically from your sales channels. Expenses are tracked from day-to-day operations, supplier payments, and payroll. With this data, Eleo generates Profit & Loss statements automatically, and tools like Budgets and Recurring Obligations help you plan ahead and stay in control.
- Revenue in — Sales data from orders, channels, and storefronts feeds into your revenue figures automatically.
- Expenses tracked — Operational costs, supplier invoices, payroll, and ad-hoc expenses are recorded and categorised.
- P&L generated — Eleo calculates gross profit, operating costs, and net profit for any period you choose.
- Budgets & obligations — Plan your spending with budgets, track standing commitments with recurring obligations, and break large payments into manageable installments.

Getting started
The Financial Hub starts working as soon as you process your first sale. To get the most out of it:
- Set up your expense categories — Consistent categorisation ensures accurate reporting. Start by recording your fixed costs (rent, utilities, insurance) and recurring payroll.
- Create your first budget — Set a monthly budget to track spending against targets and receive alerts when costs exceed thresholds.
- Add recurring obligations — Enter your standing commitments so Eleo can factor them into cash flow forecasts and remind you of upcoming payments.
- Review P&L weekly — The Profit & Loss statement gives you a snapshot of profitability. Regular reviews help you spot trends early.
