Finance teams spend more time updating spreadsheets than driving strategy. Manual financial planning and analysis is time-consuming and error-prone. Models are strung together by dozens of spreadsheets and band-aided by hardcodes, making it a constant struggle to keep everything up to date and eliminate errors.

Finance teams need to process information from ERPs, CRMs, HR systems, billing platforms, marketing tools and more. With all of these systems containing different pieces of your financial puzzle, it is impossible to ensure that everyone is working off of the same data with a shared understanding.

Legacy Finance tools require indoctrination and training. They are designed to keep the business out instead of inviting them in. As a result, department heads aren't invested in the planning or analysis process, and it can be challenging to get buy-in when it's time to take action.

When so much of your time and effort is taken up reporting on the past, you do not have time to focus on the present or the future. An organization looking in the rearview mirror instead of gazing forward towards the horizon is destined to crash.
