Wevo GL Analytics is not a reporting layer bolted onto your GL. It is a purpose-built hierarchical responsibility reporting engine — designed from the ground up for the way finance teams actually need to work.
In legacy reporting systems, drilling from a P&L figure to the underlying transactions is a multi-step process — export to Excel, cross-reference the GL, raise a support request, wait for the next batch run. In Wevo, it is a single click.
Pre-calculated rollups mean the data at every level of the hierarchy is already computed and indexed. When you click a node, Wevo retrieves the transactions instantly — no on-demand aggregation, no waiting for a query to run across 100 million rows.

Most GL reporting tools support one hierarchy — usually the legal entity structure. But accountability in a real organisation is two-dimensional: who is responsible for a cost centre, and what type of cost is it? Wevo supports both simultaneously.
H1 represents your organisational hierarchy — regions, divisions, cost centres, teams. H2 represents your account hierarchy — P&L categories, account groups, natural account codes. Both roll up independently and both can be navigated in a single view.
Every legacy GL reporting system was built around the same assumption: data is processed in batches, and reports are run against yesterday's numbers. Wevo discards that assumption entirely.
Wevo is not connected to your GL system directly. It receives GL data via scheduled file transfer — sitting completely outside your GL environment, with no live connection, no access to your GL database, and no impact on GL performance or security. It can reside anywhere: on your own infrastructure, in the cloud, or in a separate network segment entirely.
When a posting hits your General Ledger, the Wevo reporting layer knows about it. Your hierarchy totals update in real time. The hierarchy reflects current balances. Month-end close decisions, intraday cash visibility, real-time cost monitoring — all now possible without waiting for a batch to complete.
Group reporting in most organisations means assembling multiple exports, running FX macros, and hoping the intercompany eliminations balance. Wevo handles consolidation natively — multi-entity, multi-currency, built into the core data model.
FX translation is applied automatically using period rates configured in Wevo. Intercompany eliminations are managed through the hierarchy configuration. The result is a single, consistent group view — with full drill-down available at every entity level.
Before the numbers, you define the view. Wevo's selection criteria panel gives you full control over the parameters of your analysis — which cube, which entity, which hierarchy nodes, which period range, and which notation mode. Sensible defaults are pre-configured for your reporting setup; every parameter can be overridden.
A 9-year period grid with visual range selection means you can instantly navigate to any comparison period without re-entering dates. Built-in validation checks your selections before running, preventing invalid combinations and ensuring every report is meaningful.
Different finance teams have different conventions. An FP&A team might prefer positive/negative with sign. A management accountant might expect bracket notation for negatives. An auditor might want explicit Dr/Cr labelling. Wevo supports all four modes, switchable per session.
Decimal alignment is maintained automatically across all four modes — figures line up cleanly in every column regardless of sign convention, currency symbol, or entity.
Most reporting tools restrict data by role — you either see a dataset or you don't. Wevo goes further. Security is defined at the hierarchy level, so each user's access precisely reflects their position and responsibility within the organisation.
A Finance Director for EMEA sees EMEA. A cost centre manager sees their node and its children. A group CFO sees everything. No manual data filtering. No risk of a user seeing figures that aren't theirs. Security is enforced at the reporting layer — not patched on afterwards.
Wevo GL Analytics is built on open, modern technology with no proprietary runtime dependencies. There is nothing that locks you in — no vendor-specific formats, no black boxes, and no requirement to replace your existing GL or infrastructure.
All data logic is centralised in the database layer, separate from the application. This means every calculation is auditable, every result is traceable, and your IT team can inspect and verify the logic independently. A comprehensive automated test suite covering hundreds of positive and negative scenarios ensures the numbers Wevo produces are provably correct.
