It does some things really well - I can generate a slick set of mgt accounts in much less time and I can build a solid 3-way forecast/budget. But beyond that the forecasting module is weak, not letting you easily compare different scenarios with one another (for example you can't show budget revenue vs latest forecast on a chart) or report on prior year actuals versus future year budgets and forecasts.

Spotlight does the job ok, but you are limited in the way you are able to present your reports. I also found that upon consolidation, the restatement of opening balances on FX accounts is force-balanced to "Other Creditors". It seems Spotlight has a lot to learn about consolidations.

The reports we create out of Spotlight give our clients so much value added! They love it!

We have used Spotlight to speed up the production of our management accounts packs. The use of sub groups for our 19 entity consolidation is particularly useful.

Spotlight Reports are most effective when Advisors and Clients work together. The 3-Way Forecast helps set clear goals, monitor progress, and drive results. Spotlight is more than a reporting tool—it’s a strategic advisory platform. Five years in, we're aiming to grow Mitax 5X in the next five years, with Spotlight as a key driver.

We've been using Spotlight Reports for several months now with our clients and they love it. As detailed as you want to make it and easy to adapt to clients needs.
