Financial Reports are vital for management to make decisions about the company’s future giving information about the profitability and financial stability of the company. 

ForgeFlow works with clients with very large databases, this caused problems when using financial reports since they took many minutes to calculate or gave errors due to timeout. This created the need to refactor the financial reports to improve their performance. The purpose was not to use transient models due to the collapse that occurred when a huge number of records were run. Also, not using direct SQL means that the code is more readable, and can be more easily extended.
