DSO Calculation

How CFO Dashboards calculates DSO values depends on the options you select in this chart:
  • If you select Yes in Include Unbilled, unbilled amounts are included in the DSO calculation.
  • If you select Revenue in Divided by, revenue amounts are used, and if you select Billing in that field, billing amounts are used.
Depending on those decisions, your DSO formula will be one of the following:
  • AR / (Billing for prior 3 periods / 90 days)
  • AR / (Revenue for prior 3 periods / 90 days)
  • (AR + Unbilled) / (Billing for prior 3 periods / 90 days)
  • (AR + Unbilled) / (Revenue for prior 3 periods / 90 days)

If you include unbilled in DSO, CFO Dashboards calculates unbilled using inception-to-date (ITD) revenue and billing: Unbilled = ITD revenue – ITD billing

Filter Options

Use the filter lists on the left side of the dashboard to display...
  • DSO data for a specific company (if your firm has multiple companies in Costpoint)
  • DSO data associated with one or more specific organization codes. Use the icon at the top of the Org filter list to display organization codes for all levels of the organization structure or only the organization codes for a specific level.
