Driving performance with real-time project-level reporting
How Murphy Group gained timely insight into P&L, cash flow and balance sheet movements in under six months.
Murphy Group, a leading UK-based construction and engineering firm, partnered with 5Y Technology to gain faster, more accurate visibility into the financial performance of their projects. Leveraging the 5Y Projects Solution set, we delivered project-level P&L, cash flow and balance sheet reporting that fully integrated into Murphy’s existing reporting infrastructure and technology stack.
We leveraged the 5Y Projects Solution set to extend their existing in-house reporting system and deliver project-level P&L, cash flow and balance sheet reporting. Our solution fully integrates into Murphy Group’s existing reporting infrastructure and technology stack, enhancing reporting capabilities while maximising the value of their existing investments.
The Challenge
Murphy Group needed accurate financial reporting across complex engineering projects without disrupting existing systems or overhauling infrastructure.
The construction and engineering firm was looking to improve the accuracy and timeliness of its project-level financial reporting, with a focus on integrating cash flow and balance sheet insights alongside traditional P&L data.
But like many firms operating in high-complexity, capital-intensive environments, they faced key challenges:
- Siloed financial metrics spread across tools and teams
- Limited visibility into project-level cash and balance sheet data
- Rigid reporting frameworks that couldn’t adapt to changing needs
They needed a cost-effective, flexible solution that could work alongside their current reporting system, increasing its capabilities without replacing it.

The Solution
We used the 5Y Projects Solution set to significantly expand Murphy’s existing reporting functionality, extending the standard project profit report (revenue vs. cost) to show cash and other balance sheet movements.
Built using Microsoft best practices and cloud-native architecture, our solution delivers a rapid and intuitive reporting experience, with dozens of out-of-the-box reports as well as the ability to customise everything to Murphy’s needs.
Highlights included:
- Real-time P&L, cash flow and balance sheet reporting at project level
- Integration into Murphy’s existing reporting infrastructure
- Monthly quantity and value movement for finance teams
- Data models aligned to Microsoft standards for scalability and reuse
Thanks to the modular nature of the 5Y Business Transformation Platform, we delivered the full solution in just six months. That made it both quicker and more cost-effective than traditional custom development.

The Results
Murphy Group now has timely, trustworthy insight into every project’s financial health. The solution ensures accurate reporting across key financial metrics within their existing reporting environment.
By eliminating reporting delays and providing a dynamic view of project performance, the 5Y solution empowers Murphy to make faster and more informed decisions, while supporting stronger financial control across their portfolio.
