What’s new in MindBridge
With a focus on adaptability, flexibility, and customizability, we’ve made it easier to standardize your approach and the evidence you gather by integrating MindBridge with your processes and methodology. Now you can quickly import and validate data to build even more robust visualizations and reports from your results.
New features for Q3
Improved data validation
This up-front assessment of data quality saves you time and effort by providing the recommended course of action for required data transformations, including letting MindBridge format it automatically.
Create intuitive trend and ratio graphs
Graph relevant data from the deepest level in the chart of accounts, respond to procedures more holistically with a granular understanding of the data, and make key relationships and performance indicators easier to visualize and communicate.
New export capabilities and styling for reports
Export high-fidelity reports to .pdf, or copy and paste the report into your preferred document editing software. This allows you to standardize platform output across your practice and build impactful memos for your working paper file or results presentations. What's more, now you can export any number of ratios within the analysis into a single, client-ready Excel file.
