A system with access to regularly updated information regarding an entity can generate information regarding the performance of that entity. For example, values of various key performance indicators (KPIs) can be determined. One or more of the values can be compared to a corresponding threshold or range. Based on the results of the comparisons, an alert can be generated and sent to a user associated with the entity, a user interface (UI) that presents information to the user about the entity can include information regarding the KPIs, or both. The system may have access to data regarding a number of similar entities. Using the data for the similar entities, one or more benchmarks for the KPIs of the entity can be determined. The KPIs can be compared to the benchmarks and the results shown in a UI, an alert, or both. |

1. A method comprising:
providing, by a cloud computing environment, an accounting platform; accessing, by the accounting platform, data from a plurality of devices associated with a plurality of users; receiving, at the accounting platform and from a client device, a request for a benchmark for a first attribute of a first user of the plurality of users, the first attribute being a key performance indicator (KPI); identifying, by the accounting platform, a first set of similar users of the plurality of users, the identifying being based on a similarity in a second attribute between the first set of similar users and the first user, the second attribute being accessed from the data, the identifying of the first set of similar users being further based on a geographic location of the first set of similar users, the geographic location of the first set of similar users being different from the geographic location of the first user; determining, by the accounting platform, an average value of the first attribute in the first set of similar users; setting, by the accounting platform, the benchmark, based on the determined average value; replicating the benchmark across multiple servers connected to the cloud computing environment; and responsive to the request, sending the benchmark for the KPI of the first user to the client device. |
