CEOs, CFOs, and operators across hospitality, restaurants, construction, engineering, and beyond — on what best-in-class FP&A and data analytics actually deliver.
After looking high and low across platforms and products, Skyline was a highly welcomed relationship — smart, FP&A-driven reporting that was 100% customizable to our needs. Their reporting is like no other. One of the best-kept secrets in FP&A consulting; whatever we asked, the answer was always "yes," and they made it happen.
Chris' work is both cutting edge and super user-friendly. Through his combined expertise in FP&A and Power-BI dashboard building, he brings real-time business analytics and profit-driving insights right to the fingertips of the people in your organization who need them most.
Skyline's labor optimization is state-of-the-art — the leading edge of what's possible in continuously leveraging data from multiple systems to forecast optimal labor, pivot in real time, and deliver automated daily, weekly, and monthly feedback. They took what was already a "Cadillac" of a labor process and turned it into a "Ferrari."
Murray Engineers is a very "tech forward" AEC business. Skyline serves two critical functions every AEC company needs: an FP&A advisor guiding leadership on key strategic decisions, and custom platforms that fill the operational and financial reporting gaps notorious of AEC ERPs and PM software. They're an integrated part of our team — highly recommended.
After 10+ years, we needed labor help from an expert who'd account for both our concept (vegetarian tacos) and our hub-and-spoke structure. Skyline came to the rescue overnight with customized dashboards and daily automated reports per location. Their bottoms-up approach optimizes labor to what's actually happening on each floor — transactions, units sold, time of day — not just history or other locations.
Chris and Skyline have been instrumental in our financial modeling and strategic planning. Given our cutting-edge AI technology, we needed an FP&A partner on par with us — and Chris pivots as fast as we do. Watching him run scenario analysis on the fly, making changes before our eyes and giving answers in real time, is something else. We're lucky to have him.
We engaged Skyline to automate our monthly and quarter-end stakeholder reporting packages — something we assumed wasn't possible given our platforms and custom calculations. They turned a process that took weeks into something we no longer think about: delivered accurately and on time, every period. They're the solution you don't realize is out there for the problem that's bogging you down.
We had highly customized reporting in mind for our unique structure — accurate, timely reporting by division and geography, plus intra-period reporting including daily automated month-to-date P&Ls. It was an extreme ask given our ERP, but Skyline's FP&A and reporting divisions handily delivered, bringing visibility and consistency to our process.
Skyline is an integrated member of our Finance & Accounting team. Their work is the best I've seen — I'd recommend them to anyone looking to drive profitability through top-of-the-line FP&A and data analytics.
Skyline has been instrumental in analyzing our LTOs and marketing campaigns. We have reports galore, but it's Skyline's ability to read, interpret, and communicate the story behind the data through an FP&A lens that lets us see the true incremental impact of each initiative. It's driven real decision-making around promotions and marketing.
Chris is a former colleague who provided best-in-class FP&A and data analytics support. His company does cutting-edge work in analytics and custom dashboards, delivering insights across a diverse range of industries. His work is outstanding — I highly recommend him to any leader who wants to build business intelligence solutions and solve problems.
There's a before and after to engaging Skyline — we have visibility into our company we've never had before. In the beverage industry we operate on razor-thin margins with no room for mistakes. Chris understands our business, is precise yet creative, and has become a key member of our team — earning the respect of our board, management, and owners.
Skyline jumped in head-first as an advisor to our family office executives and board, delivering value from day one. Their FP&A experience and ability to present complex data concisely have been critical to our strategic decisions. Every family office is different, and they customize to our specific needs — truly an invaluable resource.
While we were building out our FP&A function, Skyline set the right foundation — a detailed financial model with dynamic scenario analysis, a month-end reporting package with built-in variance and R&O insights, and mentorship for our staff — all within the condensed timeline we required.
