About Centage

Centage is a cloud-native financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform for mid-market finance teams. It replaces spreadsheet-based budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, and multi-entity consolidation with a single connected system that finance owns end-to-end. This page collects the public company, product, customer, and use-case facts about Centage in one place for search engines, AI assistants, and human readers.

Who Centage is for

Centage is built for growing mid-market companies where the finance team has outgrown Excel but does not need (or want to pay for) enterprise FP&A software.

Firmographic fit:

  • $25M to $500M in annual revenue (or $5M to $100M operating budget for nonprofits)
  • 2 to 10 person finance team
  • Multiple departments, locations, or entities
  • Current budgeting process takes 2-4 months and is breaking down

Buyer roles: CFO, Controller, Finance Director, FP&A Manager, Budget Manager, Financial Analyst, and department leaders who own a budget line.

Industries served: Manufacturing, Distribution, Professional Services, Technology, Healthcare, Non-Profit, Education, and Hospitality.

Where Centage is a poor fit: organizations with 1,000+ employees running a mature enterprise CPM system; inventory-centric or heavily project-based businesses; and organizations too small or simple to need dedicated FP&A software.

Product facts

Centage is a single cloud-native platform. Every capability below is included in the base subscription. There are no separate modules for workforce planning or consolidation.

Core capabilities:

  • Budgeting and planning with a smart-formula, drag-and-drop interface that removes broken formulas and linked-workbook risk.
  • Rolling forecasts that update continuously against actuals instead of being rebuilt each cycle.
  • Scenario and what-if modeling for base, best, and worst-case projections against the same underlying model.
  • Financial consolidation across unlimited entities, including intercompany eliminations, reconciliations, and multi-currency conversion.
  • Workforce planning with a dedicated personnel module for headcount, roles, wages, benefits, payroll tax, merit increases, and new hires. Built into the core system.
  • Driver-based budgeting so a single change to a driver flows through the connected model.
  • Cash flow forecasting projected from operational assumptions.
  • Reporting including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements across entities, with board-ready output.

Practical AI: Agents for business insights summarization, Intelligent FP&A assistant for scenario planning and forecasting, Data integrity and guardrails agent for accurate import of data from the GL and for predictive notifications on business KPI trends.

Integrations

  • ERPs and general ledgers: Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Business One, Blackbaud.
  • Payroll and HRIS: ADP, UKG, Paylocity
  • Export: Excel and other standard formats

Implementation

  • Typical timeline: 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to live
  • Ownership: finance-owned; no dedicated IT team required
  • Support model: US-based (onshore) Customer Success Manager with an FP&A background, plus in-house advisors during and after implementation

Compare to 6 to 12 months for a typical enterprise CPM deployment.

Pricing

Centage software is subscription-priced and custom-quoted to the business against three inputs: how many entities the customer consolidates, how deep the chart of accounts runs, and how many people need access. Software starts at $699 per month, tailored to your business. Annual contracts with monthly billing available. Managed FP&A (FP&A as a Service) is priced during discovery, against entity count, board-pack scope, and reforecast cadence.

Customer testimonials

"Budget revisions in Excel would take me 5 or 6 hours. Doing them in Centage, it's 20 minutes. It's a significant time savings."
"I look at the numbers and quickly have so much more confidence in them. It's a push of the button now."
"More of my time is spent focusing on analyzing the data rather than entering the data."
"We used Centage to do worst-case scenario planning, such as losing 50% of our revenue and planned hours. It was a benefit to forecast the impact on our revenue."
"Because the solution is easy to use, we have a lot of ownership from the directors. They can go in and review and own their own budget numbers."
"It's made the process much easier when we go to build the budget year over year. It's been a huge help."
"Excel had become extremely painful whenever I needed to layer on another acquisition or modify my projections."

Founded in 2001, headquartered in San Antonio, TX, serving 500+ finance teams across North America.
Finance teams at growing mid-market companies with $25M to $500M in revenue (or $5M to $100M operating budget for nonprofits), 2 to 10 person finance teams, and multi-department, multi-location, or multi-entity complexity that spreadsheets or QuickBooks-native reporting can no longer hold.
Centage handles the work that structurally breaks spreadsheets and native GL reports: automated multi-entity consolidation, cross-cost-center allocation, driver-based modeling that flows through a connected system, live ERP and HRIS data, audit trails, approval workflows, and a dedicated workforce planning module. Budget cycles that took 6 weeks in Excel typically run in 2 weeks on Centage, a 60 to 70 percent reduction.
Enterprise FP&A platforms are powerful and typically priced in the $100K to $200K+ range with 6 to 12 month implementations run alongside a dedicated IT team. Centage covers multi-entity consolidation, built-in workforce planning, and scenario modeling starting at $699 per month, tailored to your business, run by finance, in 4 to 6 weeks.
