The real FP&A problem

Budgets are not built once. They are rebuilt, round after round.

Finance, HR, Operations and Management exchange spreadsheets until the numbers hold. Each round reopens the same files — and every reforecast starts the cycle again.

  1. 01

    Data collection

    Actuals and inputs from every team

  2. 02

    Consolidation

    Files merged, totals reconciled

  3. 03

    Budget challenge

    Management questions the gaps

  4. 04

    Adjustments

    Assumptions changed by hand

  5. 05

    Revisions

    New versions, new checks

  6. 06

    Reforecast

    …and the cycle starts again

Repeated for every revision round — the time goes into rebuilding numbers, not into understanding them.

FinanceHROperationsManagement

Your finance team should spend less time rebuilding numbers — and more time challenging the business.

How Planova works

Three steps, from a CSV file to scenarios.

Silver follows the same path every time: your data, a clear diagnosis, then the forecast you choose to build.

01

Bring your financial data

Start instantly with the demonstration dataset. Planova checks every row before anything is computed. Importing your own data is planned for future commercial accounts and is not available yet.

  • Monthly Actual and Budget, by department and account
  • Missing columns and invalid rows are reported, never silently ignored
  • A month with no row is not treated as zero

AI explanations

An optional AI layer can add written interpretations, clearly labelled, that never change the figures. It is not active during the Preview: every result shown comes from the Planova engine.

In Silver, an optional AI layer (Google Gemini) adds written interpretations, clearly labelled, that never change the figures. Every figure comes from the Planova engine.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Planova?

Planova is a financial planning and analysis platform being developed for growing organisations. Its public Silver Preview demonstrates budget vs actual analysis, line-item forecasting and three financial scenarios using synthetic data.

Can I upload my company's financial data?

Not during the public Preview. It runs exclusively on the fictional Aurelia Sensors dataset. Processing real company data requires a future commercial agreement and authorised account activation.

Does AI calculate the financial results?

No. The Planova financial engine computes the figures. AI explanations are disabled during the public Preview, and no AI interpretation is automatically applied to assumptions or results.

Which scenarios can I explore?

The Preview provides Base, Pessimistic and Optimistic scenarios. They represent explicit business assumptions, not probabilities or guarantees of future performance.

Your next financial decision deserves better intelligence.
