In short

A report is something you look things up in, not read from start to finish. That is why the summary comes first: KPIs against plan and prior year, the key messages and what has to be decided. This example is a quarterly report for an advisory board on five pages, designed for a fictional IT company.

What this example does well

Techniques you can take over, visible in the images above.

  • The summary comes first: a KPI table with plan and prior year, four key messages and the decision needed.

  • Revenue appears as a bar chart against plan and prior year.

  • The end holds a forecast, three recommendations and a risk table.

What you need beforehand

To make your own document just as concrete, have this ready.

  • The quarter's KPIs against plan and prior year in one table

  • The three or four messages the board should take away

  • Open decisions with deadline and amount

  • An honest list of risks, each with one countermeasure

Common mistakes when you rebuild it

What to watch for.

  • The summary is at the back

    Hiding it makes readers page through. Put it on page one and state what must be decided right there.

  • Numbers without a benchmark

    A revenue figure alone says little. Put every KPI next to a yardstick: plan, prior year or prior quarter.

  • One chart for everything

    Twelve charts answer no question. Each chart supports one statement, and that statement is its headline.

FAQ

Anything missing? Ask us

What belongs in a quarterly report?

A summary with KPIs, the trend in revenue and customers, projects and people, and an outlook with recommendations and risks. This example has exactly those parts on five pages.

Should a report be a document or a presentation?

What is read and filed is a document. What is presented is a deck. This example is a document in A4 format. The presentation example shows the same kind of content as slides.

How do I create a report like this with Slaide?

Give figures and bullet points or upload a spreadsheet. Slaide structures the report, builds tables and charts and delivers a document you can edit and export as PDF or Word. The AI Report Generator page shows the steps.

Was this example made with Slaide?

No. It is designed by hand for a fictional company with sample figures, so you can see what a good structure looks like. What Slaide builds from your content looks different: it comes from your figures and goals, and you adjust every page.
