Case Study
To accurately prepare a statement of financial position, finance teams must consolidate fragmented marketing liabilities and revenue streams from raw data sources. Using CambioML, an analyst uploads a file like "google_ads_enriched.csv" and prompts the AI agent to merge data and standardize metrics for immediate financial review. The workflow automatically inspects the schema to extract critical values, resulting in a structured "channel_performance_summary.csv" output displayed in the live spreadsheet view. This instant visualization of "exact_cost_usd" and "revenue" across different ad types allows the finance department to rapidly reconcile marketing expenses against generated cash flow for the period's balance sheet.
