The future of finance

Improved productivity: Improve your team’s productivity by removing the reliance on manual data collecting, validating assumptions or spreadsheet management. Remove issues such as accuracy, version control, developing naming conventions or even standardisation of data for report consolidation.

Confident decision making: Anaplan for finance connects data, people, and plans within the finance team and across the enterprise. By using Anaplan for financial planning, you can anticipate performance gaps with greater lead time. You can analyse root causes by drilling down into dimensionally rich financial and operational data.

Greater control: By creating multiple scenario plans you are able to anticipate performance gaps and assess the impact of alternative courses of actions quickly, which enables more effective decision-making and execution.

Finance leaders need to create fast and reliable processes to deliver more robust insight for agile decision-making.

  • A single platform: Changes are updated in real-time to help make faster business decisions based on current information

  • Connected planning: Drive greater collaboration with real-time scenario models. Connect top-down financial models with bottom-up operational plans.

  • Management Reporting: Create highly formatted reports, that are designed to provide management and stakeholders with key insights. Dynamic visual reports help pinpoint drivers, align stakeholders, and enable nimble business decisions.

Say goodbye to gathering data, aggregating error-prone spreadsheets and outdated processes and say hello to value-added analysis, collaboration across the business and confident data-driven business decisions.

    “Anaplan allows the finance team to remove much of the manual processing that is currently required to report the results and prepare forecasts. “It’s giving us back time, which means my team can provide analysis rather than simply collating and aggregating numbers. With Anaplan’s capacity to deal with large amounts of data from different sources, we can create customised reports to provide valuable insights into our various lines of business.”
    Sue Burnell, Childrensalon
    The Gym Group Bedford Consulting Customer
    ““Knowing the pain I previously went through to create a revenue forecast, to see that now in Anaplan and to build and run it in Anaplan and be able to answer a question from my CFO within an hour, as opposed to a couple of days work is incredible. It really does give you back the time to spend on other activities such as what-if analysis and adding value not just churning out data.”
