Month-end just got a whole lot clearer.
We’ve been listening and building. Today, we're excited to share how we’re reimagining what a truly useful dashboard looks like for finance teams.
With the new Stacks Dashboard, you get instant visibility into close progress, outstanding tasks, anomalies, and material movements—all in one place.
This isn't just another widget. It's a purpose-built way to review, manage, and steer your close with more clarity and control than ever before.
Not All Tasks Are Created Equal
Traditional dashboards treat every task the same. But in reality, some are done in minutes—especially with AI-powered tools from Stacks—and others can take days as teams wait on upstream data or approvals.
That’s why our dashboard doesn’t just count tasks completed vs. pending. It visualizes:
Time spent, not just task count
Weighted progress, to reflect actual effort
Variability across categories, so no task is overlooked
You get a more realistic and trustworthy picture of your team’s momentum.
Break It Down by Task Type, Preparer, and Category
Controllers don’t need more data—they need the right perspective. Our dashboard offers segmented views by:
Task type
Owner/preparer
Close checklist category
This makes it easy to:
Identify bottlenecks
Rebalance work
Start the right conversations with cross-functional teams
Know where to spend your attention

A Bird’s Eye View, Evolving in Real-Time
Think of the dashboard as a control tower. Not just what’s done, but how the close is really unfolding.
Soon, we’ll be introducing:
Dependency-aware tracking, so you can see who’s blocked and who’s critical path
"On track" signals, not just counts
Persistent filters, so when you toggle from dashboard to checklist, your context stays with you
Delivered Where Work Happens: #close-progress
Each team has a channel like #close-progress. So we asked, why not deliver dashboard insights directly there?
Now, your key daily metrics—progress updates, bottlenecks, and milestone markers—arrive as a Slack digest. The dashboard is now part of your real-time workflow.
Coming Soon: My Focus Dashboard
We’re also working on a more personalized dashboard view that highlights what you need to focus on.
Think of it as the "My Focus" experience from the checklist—but applied across the entire close landscape.
Have Feedback? We’re Listening.
We built the new dashboard to give you clarity and control over the close. But we’re just getting started.
If there's a view you're missing, an insight you'd love to surface, or an idea to make this better, we’d love to hear from you.
