The problem

The budget is out of date the day it is approved.

In most companies the budget takes months to build, lives in linked spreadsheets that one person understands, and is overtaken by events within a quarter. Forecasts are a manual re-run of the same files. Investment cases are built from scratch each time, to a different standard, and nobody can trace an output back to its assumption.

We rebuild planning around drivers: the volumes, prices, rates and headcount that actually move the numbers. Models are built to one standard, connected to actuals from the ERP, and set up so that a new scenario takes minutes. Where it helps, AI drafts the variance commentary and tests the assumptions.

What we do

Finance planning, rebuilt around drivers.

Financial models

Feasibility, valuation, project finance and M&A models, built to a transparent standard that an auditor can follow.

Driver-based budgeting

A budget built from operational drivers, so that a change in volume or price flows through automatically.

Rolling forecasts

Monthly or quarterly forecasts that refresh from actuals, and take days instead of weeks.

Planning platform implementation

Selection, design and build of cloud planning and consolidation platforms, integrated with your ERP.

Management and board reporting

Dashboards and packs with one version of each number, and commentary that explains it.

AI-assisted planning

Scenario generation, anomaly checks and first-draft variance commentary, reviewed by your finance team.

How it runs
