Dimensions in Practice: A Conversation for Finance Leaders 

Canadian accounting professionals will receive a Certificate of Completion after attendance.

Finance leaders know that clean, consistent reporting is key to confident decision-making — but messy data, unclear naming, and too many dimensions can make that difficult.

Join us for an interactive, peer-to-peer conversation designed to help you make dimensions work for you. Whether your organization is already using them, limited by systems like Sage or Great Plains, or still relying on segmented G/Ls, you’ll walk away with practical strategies for smarter reporting and budgeting.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Why dimensions matter more than ever for clarity and accountability

  • How to structure them for better reporting and budgeting outcomes

  • What “good” looks like in practice — through real scenarios and live audience interaction

  • Simple governance habits that keep your data clean and useful

This session also qualifies for 1 hour of verifiable CPD for Canadian accounting professionals, with a Certificate of Completion provided after attendance.

The Dimensions Behind Every Confident Decision

This isn’t another software demo — it’s a conversation about how finance leaders are redefining their reporting strategy through dimensions to gain time, clarity, and control.

You’ll hear how one of our team members, after years of struggling with inconsistent data and time-consuming reconciliations, restructured her organization’s dimensions and turned what once felt like endless manual cleanup into a reporting framework that now runs itself.

For nonprofits, the difference is transformative. The right dimension strategy helps create clarity across programs, funding sources, and departments, giving leaders faster access to the insights they need to act with confidence.

This discussion goes beyond setup tips. It’s about how seasoned finance professionals are using dimensions as a strategic tool — freeing up hours of manual reporting, improving accountability, and building the foundation for smarter financial decisions.

What You'll Learn

In this interactive session, you’ll gain practical, strategic insight into how strong dimension design can transform your organization’s financial clarity.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Rethink your dimension strategy to reduce manual cleanup, simplify reporting, and strengthen accountability across your organization.

  • Recognize where dimensions add strategic value — from grant tracking to program analysis — and where they create unnecessary complexity.

  • Apply best practices used by finance leaders who have implemented dimension structures that save hours each month and deliver cleaner, faster reporting.

  • Evaluate your current approach to naming conventions, ownership, and reporting alignment against real-world examples from nonprofits and K–12 organizations.

  • See how dimensions drive smarter decisions when used as a lens for budget management, fund reporting, and performance oversight.

  • Live Q&A to get your specific questions answered by our team

Professional Development Credit:

This session qualifies for 1 hour of verifiable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Canadian accounting professionals.

You’ll receive a Certificate of Completion and supporting documentation that meets CPA Ontario and CPA Canada standards for verifiable training hours.

The system was so user-friendly and easy to follow that even doing the migration didn't require much training. We did our training in January 2024, just after the holidays, and it only took one hour before the teams were up and running. We've since received emails from secretaries and office staff about how intuitive everything is now.

The investment over time is really important to us because ERPs are not short-term endeavours. They are long-term relationships. We’ll be using Sparkrock well beyond my time in this organization.
