What we deliver

From the budget to the consolidated statement.

📊

Integrated budgeting & forecasting

Budget, rolling forecast and reprojections in one model, with centralized assumptions and business drivers. Versions compared side by side.

  • Driver-based planning by area and product
  • Rolling forecast and fast reprojections
🧾

Integrated statements (P&L, BS, CF)

Revenue, costs, OPEX, payroll and inventory closing automatically across the three statements — Balance Sheet tied out and Cash Flow derived, with no manual linking.

  • Direct and indirect cash flow
  • Automatic tax and working-capital calculation
🔍

Variances & scenarios

Budget × Actual × Forecast on any dimension, drilling down to the entry, with comparable scenarios on one screen.

  • Result bridges (price, volume, mix, FX)
  • What-if and sensitivity analysis
🏢

Consolidation & integration

Multiple entities, currencies and charts of accounts consolidated, with actuals loaded straight from the ERP — reconciled and auditable, no rekeying.

  • Currency conversion and intercompany elimination
  • Integration with SAP, Oracle, Totvs and others
Why it matters

FP&A rarely fails for lack of numbers. It fails for lack of a reliable process.

The budget lives in a folder of spreadsheets no one dares open, the forecast takes two weeks to close, and when the board asks for a different scenario the answer is "I'll get back to you next week." By the time it arrives, the question has changed.

A well-built model flips that: assumptions in one place, statements recalculated in seconds and a new scenario that stops being a project and becomes a click. The difference is in the architecture — a single source of numbers, with role-based access control, an audit trail and version governance — and in building for the team to use day to day, not to impress in a demo.

FAQ
Why move from Excel to a dedicated model?
Excel works until it becomes a tangle of linked spreadsheets, with no versioning or audit trail, that breaks at every close. A dedicated model centralizes assumptions, recalculates statements in seconds, keeps version history and lets several people work at once — with access control and every number traceable.
Can P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow live in the same model?
Yes — and that's where the biggest gain is. With the three sharing the same assumptions, any change in revenue, cost, payroll or inventory flows through all three, with the Balance Sheet tying out and Cash Flow derived consistently.
What about security and governance of the numbers?
Access is role-based — each person sees and edits only what they should. Every change is logged (who changed what and when), scenarios are versioned and the model reconciles with accounting. The number gets an owner and an origin, instead of living in a loose spreadsheet in someone's inbox.
