For the head of finance.
One governed model every department updates.
Spend less time repairing the model. Department heads own their inputs, actuals come in from your accounting software, and you review the numbers instead of rebuilding them.
September actuals against the Q3 reforecast, all 7 departments, every ledger line.
Every line traces to source. Three variances explained.

Too much time fixing the spreadsheet
The model eats your week
Your week goes on fixing broken formulas instead of the analysis the business needs.
No one trusts the version
Three copies of the model float around and nobody's sure which one is real.
The close drags on
Reconciling plan to actuals by hand turns every month-end into a marathon.

- Distributed ownership, central control
- Reforecasts that start from current inputs

Questions finance leads ask
Can I migrate my existing Excel model?
It's built for that. You set the plan up around the structure your Excel model already uses, so you don't design it again from scratch.
How do I give department heads access without losing control?
It's designed so they own their own inputs while you keep authority over the structure and the rollup.
Is it audit-friendly?
It's designed to be. An auditor should be able to follow any figure to its source and see the change log behind it.
Traceable by design
- Designed so every figure traces back to its source.
- Built to record every change: who changed what, and when.
- Department heads own their inputs, and you own the structure.
- We never sell your financial data.
