Trying to get a holistic picture of your company's finances is extremely difficult and typically only helps you explain the past. Understanding the present and forecasting the future is even more complex and time consuming.

To add strategic value for your company, you are required to be part data analyst, part systems architect, part planner and part economists. Not to mention the table stakes finance and accounting expertise.

While other functional areas of the business have seen tremendous innovation and new technology, financial planning and analysis is still performed in manual, disconnected spreadsheets. The need for a modern solution to this evolved problem is clear.
