Build and revise the financial plan.
Budget, forecasts, P&L, consolidation. Finance teams still spend most of their time gathering figures rather than analysing them. We equip these processes to shorten the cycle and make revisions routine.
The situation
The topics that keep coming up in finance.
These situations are not about the skill of the teams. They are about tools that force the plan to be rebuilt for every question asked.
- The budget is built across dozens of files, then consolidated by hand
- The forecast stays quarterly because it costs too much to produce, while the business moves every month
- Variance analysis arrives after close, when the decisions have already been made
- Subsidiaries share neither the same chart of accounts nor the same allocation rules
- Testing an assumption means duplicating the model, then waiting
- Board reporting is rebuilt every month, in a format that changes with every request

Scenarios and variances
Assumptions tested without touching the reference plan, and variance analysis broken down by driver.
