Edition: Business + Insights Pro Add-on, Enterprise + Insights Pro Add-on
User-level: Permissions are set at an Organisation level by System Administrators
Who this is for: Principals, directors, finance team


Dashboard Explained

Portfolio-wide financial summary by slice, with four headline gauges and a full financial breakdown table. Portfolio Summary is the executive lens on the project portfolio — which parts of the business are performing, which are lagging, and where margin is being won or lost.

Updated in Insights Pro: This dashboard existed in Analytics Plus as "Residual by Project Manager/Client/Type/Discipline/Cost Centre" with a project-level table, and has been substantially redesigned for Insights Pro.

How to use it

Use Portfolio Summary for leadership review meetings or board reporting. Switch Slice By to Project Manager to compare portfolios across PMs rather than offices. If one office/PM has high fee value but low Recovery % or Gross Profit %, investigate whether charge rates, write-downs, or project mix are driving the difference. Remember Project Status defaults to Active — change it if you need visibility into completed or on-hold work. Cross-reference with Monthly Financials to see whether the trend is improving or worsening over time.
