Forecasting

The forecast that stays current on its own.

Your forecast is built from your own ledger and refreshed every time actuals sync, so it never needs rebuilding in a spreadsheet. State the plan in plain language and Finla turns it into a model finance owns and reviews.

Why it never goes stale

Built from your ledger. Kept current by your actuals.

01

The seam rolls forward on its own

Books close, actuals sync, and the boundary between actuals and forecast moves. No export, paste, or repair. You always know which months are real.

02

The plan is written in plain language

Type assumptions or paste them from your planning spreadsheet. Finla reads each one into the model and shows you its reading before anything lands.

03

Every version stays on the record

Budgets and reforecasts are immutable vintages. Compare any two, walk the bridge between them, and answer “what changed” in one click.

From words to model

State the plan. Review the reading. Nothing lands without you.

Paste rows straight from your planning spreadsheet. Finla shows its interpretation next to your wording. You accept, adjust, or reject each one.

Scenario planning

Base, worst, and best. Always current, never copies.

Stress a handful of drivers like pipeline conversion, churn, and hiring pace, and Finla holds three living cases. When the month closes, all three rebase on fresh actuals automatically.

“Show downside if hiring slips two months” answered in minutes

Everything not stressed inherits from base automatically

A case can never be mistaken for the plan of record

Vintages and bridges

“What changed?” is a chart, not a fire drill.

Every finalized set is frozen. Finla walks the difference between any two, decomposed by the assumptions that moved.
