connected consolidation, planning and reporting
From actuals to forecast - and back to reporting
A continuous data flow connects actual performance, forward-looking planning and recurring management reporting.
Budgeting
Build financial and operational budgets across entities, departments, products, projects and management dimensions. Structure the process centrally while contributors provide the assumptions and inputs they own.
Forecasting
Create periodic or rolling forecasts using actual performance, historical trends, business drivers and updated expectations. Refresh selected areas without rebuilding the entire model.
Scenario management
Create and compare base, upside, downside and management scenarios. Understand how changes in assumptions affect revenue, profitability and cash flow.
Driver-based planning
Plan through the financial and operational drivers that create performance. Actuals from AFC Financial Consolidation act as a financial driver alongside volumes, prices, headcount and other assumptions.
Planning workflows
Manage contributors, responsibilities, deadlines, dependencies, reviews and approvals across the organisation. Finance maintains control while the business contributes close to the underlying drivers.
AI-assisted planning
Use AI to generate structures, prepare forecast proposals, explain variances and identify inconsistencies. Every proposal can be reviewed, edited and approved by the responsible user.
Actuals as financial driver
Actuals are not just history, but actively drive the plan
Actuals from AFC Financial Consolidation can update the planning baseline, reveal variances, trigger forecasts and shape assumptions, calculations and scenarios.
Driver-based planning
Connect business assumptions to financial outcomes
Combine governed actuals with the operational drivers that explain how business performs – without the need for duplicating disconnected spreadsheet models.
Test how changes in actual development, volume, pricing, headcount, costs or timing affect revenue, profitability, cash flow and liquidity. Keep every scenario connected to its assumptions, owners and approval
history.
human & AI collaboration
AI accelerates the work. Finance remains accountable.
Use AI for speed, pattern recognition and explanation without giving up ownership, control or auditability.
Reduce manual work
Reuse actuals and shared structures, reduce time spent building templates, consolidating files and following up on submissions.
Preserve data consistency
Keep accounts, entities, dimensions and definitions aligned across actuals, budgets, forecasts and reporting.
Improve forecast quality
Combine current actuals, business drivers, operational context and finance judgment.
Simplify reporting
Return approved forecasts to AFC and compare them directly with actual performance.
