Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between planning, budgeting, and forecasting?
Your process should always start with planning. Your short- and long-term budgeting and forecasting goals depend on an accurate and detailed planning process. Budgeting accounts for the money you need for each goal, and forecasting allows your business to adjust when business needs change. In other words, your plan is the foundation, your budget is the actual snapshot, and your forecast is the financial future of your business.
Why is FP&A software important?
FP&A software allows your business to make more informed business decisions rooted in facts and data. Gain access to cohesive reports, valuable real-time insights, and realistic what-if scenario planning. Stop wasting valuable resources correcting the formula errors and other mistakes that come from a manual data-entry process across multiple spreadsheets and workbooks.
What are my options for FP&A software?
Most small to midsize businesses continue to rely on Excel for their budgeting and forecasting processes. There are some major limitations associated with spreadsheet financials. As your organization grows and complexity increases, so should your financial systems. Excel is the backbone for so many organizations, but it was never intended to be a database.
FP&A software solutions like Centage offer a cloud platform for budgeting, planning, forecasting, and analytics meant to scale with your business and your data.
How does Centage compare to other FP&A solutions?
Centage delivers sophisticated budgeting, forecasting, and data analysis typically only enjoyed by large enterprises, at a price point that makes it accessible for small and medium-sized businesses. It is the only formula-free FP&A software.
Centage alternatives are typically limited to Excel add-ons, or do not synchronize with the rest of your data, leaving your finance team to function in a silo.
