Challenges

What is your Challenges? to develop your business

Manual Processes

If you feel your time could be better invested, you're not alone. Businesses are demanding more from their financial planning and analysis teams, and at a faster pace. Dealing with a large number of Excel spreadsheets means you don't have the time or agility to spend on analyzing performance. It's also difficult to quickly adjust models to reflect changing assumptions and conditions. One "small" change requires a waterfall of updates consuming hours, days, or even weeks.

Data Accuracy

CFOs struggle with too much data and not enough insight. At the same time, too many companies rely on spreadsheets and email as their main tools for collecting and analyzing forecast data. With so much data coming in from so many sources, this traditional, static method of planning works only as long as nothing unexpected happens. Which, in business, is usually never. As a result, decision-making is usually slow, or based on gut feelings instead of the latest numbers.

Scalability

Whether your organization is in a high-growth stage, preparing to go public, or facing increased competition, your budgeting, planning, and forecasting processes in finance need to be flexible to set you up for success. Having the tools and processes that can scale with your business' needs can save you hours, days, or even weeks of time. The difference can mean spending your time buried in sheets or seeing the bigger picture. Spreadsheets can scale, but only if you have time.

Data Visualization

The problem is, without a clear visual it's more difficult to tell a story through the numbers. When your time is consumed checking the numbers and making last minute changes, you're caught in the weeds unable to see the big picture. You're asked for the 'why' behind the numbers, but you worked overtime just to get the data right. On that, creating dashboards in spreadsheets would take days or weeks of time you don't have.

Collaboration

Business is not a solitary pursuit. It often takes dozens or even hundreds of people partnering together to create meaningful impact. But when it comes to the finance department, it can often feel like you’re working in a silo. Instead of being seen as a partner, FP&A teams often struggle to get buy-in from business managers. So how do you make Finance part of the team? By getting everyone else invested in the numbers.

Professional Development

You’ve spent a career mastering both your craft and the tools it takes to accomplish it. That’s why most finance teams stick to their spreadsheets and static planning methods. However, those old tools and processes can only take you so far. Static planning leaves little time for the strategic, big picture analysis that can be the real game changer for the bottom line, not to mention your journey up the corporate ladder.
