  • Daniela Gutierrez reviews project financial performance and consolidates monthly information for management at AngliSchools.
  • Different spreadsheet formats meant gathering updates from multiple people, checking budgets manually, and comparing payment claims.
  • Mastt brings project financial information into one view, with the option to review the portfolio together.
  • Daniela says reviewing one project now takes about one hour, down from around four or five hours.
  • Less time gathering data gives her more time to support the team and focus on managing projects.

Background

AngliSchools operates 16 schools across Western Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, supporting capital development across its network.

With multiple projects underway, the organisation needs a clear view of financial performance. Daniela Gutierrez reviews budgets, payment claims, and project updates to prepare monthly reports for management.

“Before, with Excel spreadsheets, it could take me maybe four or five hours to review one project. Now I can do it in one hour.”

Challenge: Consistent Reporting Across Multiple Projects

Preparing monthly reports meant bringing project information into a consistent format for management.

“One of our biggest challenges before was the consistency. The spreadsheets and different formats and gathering information each month meant chasing multiple people, checking manually budgets, comparing payment claims, to consolidate that for reports into management.”
- Daniela Gutierrez

The work extended beyond preparing the monthly report. AngliSchools’ reporting process required regular reviews of project information to track changes across the portfolio.

Solution: Project Financials in One View

Mastt gives AngliSchools a combined view of project financials. The portfolio appears in one window, with a cost overview that helps identify figures needing attention.

Visual cues make that review easier. Daniela describes how a red figure draws her eye to a particular number, helping her recognise changes compared with previous months.

“I can even look throughout all our portfolio because I have the option of combining all the projects.”

Having live information in one place gives AngliSchools a single source for financial reviews and monthly reporting.

Impact: Project Reviews Drop From Four or Five Hours to One

Daniela says reviewing one project now takes about an hour with Mastt, compared with around four or five hours using spreadsheets.

Alongside the time saving, she describes greater confidence in the information she reports each month.

“Now that I'm working with Mastt, it makes my work easier in the way that I can trust the source of truth where I'm going to.”
- Daniela Gutierrez

She can quickly review financial performance and see the projects together, making it easier to keep track of the portfolio.

More Time to Support the Team

With less time spent gathering data, Daniela can give more attention to the team and the projects.

“Having live information, visual, in one place means that I can spend less time gathering all these data and focusing more in supporting the team.”
- Daniela Gutierrez

For Daniela, having a single source of truth makes that shift possible. She can spend less time working through spreadsheets and more time focused on managing each project.
