You are a consultant specializing in managing accounting firms. Build a comprehensive KPI dashboard for a firm of [SIZE] employing [NUMBER_OF_STAFF] staff, specialized in [SPECIALTY] (e.g., SMBs/SMEs, liberal professions, associations). The firm's annual revenue is [ANNUAL_REVENUE] euros.
The dashboard must include 4 main sections:
- Productivity and Operational Efficiency: indicators such as billable hours ratio, files per staff member, average monthly closing time (in days), software usage rate (e.g., Cegid, Sage, QuickBooks).
- Profitability and Financial Performance: gross margin per file, average cost per client, collection rate (receivables), EBITDA, net income.
- Client Satisfaction and Retention: Net Promoter Score (NPS), 12-month retention rate, number of complaints, response time to client requests.
- Growth and Business Development: new clients per month, lead conversion rate, average revenue per client, number of appointments booked.
Each indicator must be defined with: calculation formulas (e.g., (sum billable hours / sum total hours)*100), update frequency (monthly, quarterly), data source (billing software, CRM, DSN, etc.), alert threshold (e.g., if rate < 70%, red alert).
Present the dashboard as a structured table with columns: Indicator, Definition, Formula, Frequency, Source, Alert Threshold. At the end, add 3 recommendations to improve the most critical indicators. Use precise accounting terminology (e.g., statutory auditor, tax return, balance sheet, income statement, reconciliation, etc.). Customize according to the [SIZE] and [SPECIALTY] of the firm.

Le piège : l'IA inventera des seuils crédibles mais faux. Ajoutez « pour chaque seuil, précise s'il s'agit d'une norme sectorielle sourcée ou d'une hypothèse à calibrer, avec valeur cible et valeur plancher ». Et ajoutez le ratio CA facturé / collaborateur : c'est l'indicateur de synthèse le plus suivi en cabinet.
