ChartCastr supports 10 pre-built Xero metrics pulled from four Xero report endpoints. Each metric maps to a specific chart type and is delivered with an AI-generated summary tailored to that financial indicator.

Profitability

All profitability metrics are sourced from your Xero Profit & Loss report, covering the last 12 months by default (1st of each month to the current date).
MetricChart TypeDescription
Revenue (Monthly)LineMonthly total revenue trend from your P&L
Gross Profit (Monthly)LineMonthly gross profit — revenue minus cost of sales
Net Profit/Loss (Monthly)BarMonthly net profit or loss after all operating expenses
Revenue vs ExpensesComboRevenue line overlaid with monthly expense bars
Revenue (Monthly) is the recommended starting metric for most Xero users. It gives an immediate view of revenue trends and pairs well with a weekly Monday delivery to #finance.

Expenses

MetricChart TypeDescription
Expense BreakdownBarOperating expenses broken down by account category from your P&L
The expense breakdown chart shows each expense account category as a separate bar, making it easy to see which areas are growing month-over-month.

Cash & Banking

Cash metrics are sourced from your Xero Bank Summary report.
MetricChart TypeDescription
Cash PositionBarCurrent closing balances across all connected bank accounts
Cash In vs OutStacked BarCash received versus cash spent, stacked across bank accounts
Cash position shows the most recent closing balance for each bank account. Cash In vs Out shows the movement over the reporting period — useful for spotting months where outflows exceeded inflows.

Receivables & Payables

Aged receivables and payables are sourced from the Xero Aged Receivables and Aged Payables reports.
MetricChart TypeDescription
Aged ReceivablesBarOutstanding customer invoices bucketed by age: Current, 30, 60, 90+ days
Aged PayablesBarOutstanding supplier bills bucketed by age: Current, 30, 60, 90+ days
The aging buckets let you immediately see your collection health at a glance:
  • Current — invoices not yet due
  • 1–30 days — recently overdue
  • 31–60 days — follow-up required
  • 61–90 days — escalation recommended
  • 90+ days — high collection risk
A healthy receivables profile has the majority in the Current bucket. If 60+ day buckets are growing month-over-month, the AI summary will flag this as a collection risk.

AI-Powered Summaries

Every Xero chart is delivered with an AI-generated summary specific to the financial metric. The AI is given context about what each indicator means and what to look for — for example:
  • Revenue: seasonal patterns, week-over-week growth, notable dips and their likely causes
  • Net Profit: months where the business operated at a loss, expense pressure signals
  • Aged Receivables: percentage of overdue vs current, collection risk by bucket
  • Cash Position: accounts with declining balances, cash runway signals
