Management control
The margin, while
you can still change it.
Costs come in — payroll, expenses, supplier invoices — and revenue comes from the avanzamenti and the invoices already in the system. Classified onto cost centres once, they give margin per person, per commessa and per customer, and roll up into a reclassified P&L.
The cost of an hour is a real figure.
Payroll costs are imported per person and per period, matched on the employee number, and combined with a company indirect hourly cost. What an hour on a commessa cost you is then arithmetic rather than an assumption.
Classified once, and it stays classified.
Cost and revenue land on cost centres as they arrive. That is what makes the reclassified P&L something you read on a Tuesday instead of something you rebuild before a board meeting.
Cost and revenue classified onto cost centres, as they arrive.
A budget that says something when it is missed.
Budgets are set per cost centre and per period with variance thresholds, so a deviation is flagged rather than left for somebody to notice. Forecast, actual and delta sit side by side down the whole P&L pyramid.
It reconciles against your accountant.
The reclassified P&L is built to be checked against the trial balance your commercialista produces, not to replace it. Where the two disagree, the difference is a line you can point at.

Everything it does
- Cost centres and marginsCentre hierarchy with accrual margin, roll-up across the tree and detail by source, month and commessa.
- Budget and varianceBudget by centre or commessa with alternative scenarios, compared to actuals to surface variance.
- Cost and revenue classificationAutomatic rules route costs and revenue onto centres, with a fallback chain and a queue for the unclassified.
- Full project costDirect cost, allocated overhead and full cost for each commessa, kept as distinct figures.
- Personnel costsImport payslips, map pay items onto centres and show cost per employee in charts and reports.
- Leave, ROL and TFR liabilitiesLeave, ROL and severance balances by person and centre, with KPIs on accrued, taken and residual debt.
- Indirect costs and allocations · with the Projects moduleOverhead rate on every worked hour and project costs split across cost centers.
Questions we actually get asked.
- Does this replace our accounting?
- No. The general ledger stays with your accountant. This is management control: it reconciles against their figures instead of competing with them.
- Where do the costs come from?
- From an import of payroll costs per person and per period, plus the expenses and supplier invoices already in the system. The employee numbers in the file have to match the people in Duckday — that is the one thing worth checking before the first import.
- Can we see margin per person?
- Per person, per commessa, per customer and per period, provided the hours are logged and approved and the avanzamenti have valued them.
- Who gets to see the margins?
- Only whoever you entitle. Financial figures return empty rather than zero for a caller without the entitlement, so an unauthorised reader cannot infer a number from a chart.

There is nothing to prepare. Half an hour on how your company runs — who tracks the hours, how an invoice comes together, when you find out whether a commessa made money — and we tell you which modules would fix it and what a quote looks like.
