Variance Bridge Waterfall Chart PowerPoint and Google Slides Template

This waterfall chart bridges a starting value to an ending value through a series of floating bars. Increases and decreases are shown as separate bars in contrasting colors, and the anchored total bars at each end make the net variance clear.

A Financial Controller or FP&A Lead can use this chart in a monthly variance review to explain how budget became actuals through price, volume, and cost drivers. The bridge format shows exactly which factors moved the result and by how much.
