Capability · AI for Financial Planning & Analysis

One governed source of truth for planning.

Multi-entity budgeting, automated rollups, driver-based forecasting and CFO-grade reporting — built on your data, with the version control and access model finance actually needs.

The challenge

Spreadsheets, manual consolidation, no control.

Most FP&A functions do not have a forecasting problem. They have a consolidation problem that only looks like a forecasting problem once the numbers disagree.

Fragmented budgeting

Each entity plans in its own workbook against its own chart-of-accounts mapping. Rollups are rebuilt by hand every cycle, and every rebuild is an opportunity for the numbers to diverge.

Manual consolidation

Intercompany eliminations, FX translation and allocations live in formulas nobody has re-derived in years. Close takes weeks because verification is manual.

No version control

Three versions of the plan exist and nobody can say which the board approved. Without versioning there is no defensible baseline to forecast against.

What we build

Unified FP&A platforms.

Sequenced so that each layer rests on one that is already trustworthy.

01

Governed consolidation

One chart-of-accounts mapping, versioned intercompany eliminations, FX translation and allocations — with lineage from every reported figure back to its source ledger entry.

02

Driver-based planning

Budgets built from the operational drivers that actually move them — headcount, volume, rate, mix — so a scenario is a change in assumptions, not a new workbook.

03

AI forecasting & variance

ML forecasts that learn from actuals rather than extrapolating last year, plus variance analysis that attributes a miss to its drivers instead of leaving an analyst to reconstruct it.

04

CFO reporting & copilots

Board-ready packs generated from the governed model, and conversational access so a CFO can interrogate the plan without commissioning an analysis.

Build or buy

Where AI genuinely changes FP&A — and where it doesn’t.

What reliably works

Driver-based forecasting trained on your actuals. Variance explanation attributed to drivers. Narrative generation for commentary that analysts currently write by hand. Anomaly detection across ledger entries before close, not after.

What is still mostly marketing

Autonomous planning agents that set targets without a human. Forecast accuracy claims quoted without a baseline. Any AI layer sold on top of a consolidation process that is not yet governed — it will produce confident, wrong numbers faster than the spreadsheet did.

Where a packaged platform — Anaplan, Pigment, Planful, Unit4 — fits your operating model, we implement and extend it. Where the planning logic is specific to your business, we build it on your data platform. We have no licence to defend either way.

Proof

Shipped in finance functions.

Where it runs

On the stack finance already trusts.

Common questions

What finance leaders ask us first.

Do you sell FP&A software?

No. We build FP&A systems rather than licensing a product. Where a packaged platform fits your operating model we implement and extend it; where the planning logic is specific to your business, we build it on your data platform.

Can AI forecast across entities?

Yes, but only after consolidation is governed. Forecasting across entities with inconsistent account mappings or unversioned eliminations produces confident, wrong numbers. The consolidation layer is the prerequisite, not a later phase.

How does this reach the board?

Packs are generated from the governed model, so the figure in the board deck traces back to the ledger entry behind it. That traceability is what makes an AI-assisted number defensible in the room.

Close faster, plan with confidence.
