What if you could be confident—100% of the time—that your financial data was accurate and actionable? That the numbers you use for collecting and analyzing budget forecasting data were not only relevant, but let you make faster, more agile decisions? The deep integration between Sage Intacct ERP and Adaptive Insights' best budgeting software makes it possible. Instead of getting multiple versions of data from multiple locations, you now have a single source of truth that you can rely on.
Traditionally, CFOs and other finance professionals have relied on email and spreadsheets for gathering budget forecasting data. This method of static planning works only if the unexpected never happens—an unrealistic assumption, to be sure. As a result, decision making is usually slow or based on gut feelings instead of the latest numbers.
Accuracy is not an option, it’s a must
You need accurate financial reporting to forecast quickly and frequently. All too often that means manually entering it yourself and then trying to validate every calculation. This inefficient process leads to slow decision-making, and relying on spreadsheets and other users means a lack of confidence in the numbers.
Some of the problems you may face include:
- Integrating data from multiple sources
- Difficulty tracking which version to use
- Verifying the data, formulas, and assumptions
- Locating inevitable errors in spreadsheets
- Making last-minute updates
Confidence in the numbers leads to faster, data-driven decisions
Key financial and operational data can be automatically transferred from Sage Intacct into your budgeting software.
