Why reporting hurts
Your numbers exist. You just can't see them.
- 01
Data trapped in spreadsheets
Fourteen tools, forty exports, one analyst gluing it together in Excel. Every version is someone's version.
- 02
Reporting eats your week
Days of copy-paste to produce a board pack that's already aging by the time it's presented.
- 03
Decisions on stale numbers
Last month's actuals steering this month's calls — and nobody's sure which figure is right.

What clients say
The argument about whose number is right — gone.
We stopped debating whose spreadsheet was correct and started debating what to do next. That shift alone paid for the engagement.
Dana WhitfieldCFO, Meridian Freight
Sightline gave every clinic director the same numbers on the same morning. Our monthly review went from archaeology to strategy.
Sam OkaforVP of Operations, Halstead Health
They didn't sell us software. They built the reporting layer we'd been promising ourselves for five years — in one quarter.
Ruth CallowayCEO, Ferrum Manufacturing
The team
Analysts first. Consultants second.
Adrian Voss
Founder & Principal
Adrian spent twelve years inside mid-market finance teams — the person rebuilding the board pack at midnight and wondering why the numbers never matched.
He founded Sightline to fix that at the root: one governed source of truth, reporting that runs itself, and dashboards leaders actually trust.
Every engagement is scoped and led by a principal — never handed down.
Priya Raman

Pipelines, warehousing, and the governance that keeps one number meaning one thing.
