Scenario Planning Software FAQs
Centage keeps every scenario inside one governed model, so you change drivers — revenue, headcount, pricing — and the full financial statements update automatically across scenarios. Centage customers answer board-level what-if questions in 1–2 hours, compared with the 1–2 days a manual spreadsheet rebuild typically takes. There is no limit on the number of scenarios you can run.
Yes. Centage connects to major GL, ERP, and accounting platforms — including QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Acumatica, SAP Business One, and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT — and imports actuals automatically. Every scenario starts from current financial data, so comparisons between plan versions reflect the numbers in your ledger, without manual exports or re-keying.
Purpose-built scenario tools hold every assumption in one model with automatic roll-ups, so a driver change flows through the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow instantly. Spreadsheet scenarios require copying workbooks and reconciling versions by hand, which introduces formula errors. Centage runs unlimited scenarios side by side, with version history on every change.
Yes. Centage is designed for mid-market companies in the $25M–$500M revenue range, and many of its 500+ finance-team customers run lean teams of two to five people. Smaller teams see outsized benefit: the platform automates the modeling and consolidation work a small staff would otherwise do manually, and implementation takes 4–6 weeks.
Centage protects planning data with role-based access controls, data encryption, and full audit trails. MFA and single sign-on are available on qualifying plans. Department contributors see only the budgets and scenarios they own, while finance keeps a complete change history for compliance review. Security carries through every scenario, version, and report in the platform.
Yes. You can model with custom dimensions — product, entity, region, program — and tailor budgeting templates, driver logic, and reporting structures to how the business actually runs. Scenario types cover revenue, expense, workforce, and strategic cases, and the same custom structure applies across all of them, so customization is defined once and reused.
