Analytical accounting

Turn your accounting data into strategic levers to guide your decisions and control your company's performance.

With analytical accounting, you can manage your activity with precision: understand where costs are generated and where value is created.

In Mercator, it relies on multiple plans (analysis dimensions) in addition to the general ledger. During entry, you simply select the relevant analytical account(s): Mercator automatically allocates amounts, applies the defined rules, and ensures proper tracking for reporting.

Mercator Analytical accounting


Analyse performance by activity

Analytical accounting allows you to measure profitability by product, service, project, customer or cost center.

For example:

  • Which product is the most profitable?
  • Which business sector is the most profitable?
  • Is a project exceeding its budget?
  • ...
Allocate and control costs

It makes it possible to allocate expenses (salaries, purchases, energy, depreciation…) across different analytical axes to understand who consumes what.
This helps you better understand the factors that influence the profitability of each activity.

Thanks to the ERP, these allocations can be automated.

Support decision-making

By providing relevant analytical indicators, analytical accounting becomes a true management tool.

Unlike general accounting, which provides a global and retrospective view, analytical accounting helps decide whether to drop an unprofitable activity, strengthen a successful product line, adjust selling prices, ...



This type of accounting does not replace general accounting by nature,
but complements it by providing a detailed view of costs, margins and performance.
