Leave Excel Behind: Unlock Collaborative Forecasting with Centage

Unlike Excel’s isolated, error-prone spreadsheets, Centage brings your teams together for a seamless budgeting and planning experience. Centralized data and intuitive tools let your team collaborate efficiently, creating accurate budgets and forecasts that drive your business forward.

Sharpen your forecasting vision together

Collaboratively forecast the impact of multiple scenarios, leveraging input from key stakeholders across departments. Centage’s built-in financial logic allows your team to test various assumptions and see how they will impact your financial statements. Work together to discover when, where, and why actuals differ from the plan, so you can take immediate, collective action to improve financial outcomes.

Make data-driven decisions as a team

With Centage, your team can make more informed, data-driven decisions by collaborating on actionable insights from financial data. Generate precise, integrated cash flow, balance sheet, and P&L statements, enabling every stakeholder to contribute to the analysis without duplicating work. Drill down from summary to detailed data across departments to fully understand risks, opportunities, and variances from different perspectives.

Collaborative cash flow, balance sheet, and P&L Forecasting

Centage acts as an extension of your general ledger, automatically generating accurate balance sheet and cash flow information. These forecasts are synchronized with actual results and your budget, allowing input from teams across your organization. Each department can contribute insights on how their operations affect cash flow, enabling a fully collaborative and dynamic forecasting process. Make adjustments and see the collective impact on your financials in real time.

Generate accurate, agile rolling forecasts with stakeholders

Run rolling forecasts throughout the year with input from key stakeholders. Centage’s built-in capability and connected financial statements streamline the process, allowing your team to create 12- or 18-month rolling forecasts together. With up-to-date insights and variance reports, your team can course correct collaboratively, responding to changing business conditions quickly and efficiently.

“For each of six operating companies on separate SAGE general ledgers, we need to provide an annual budget and series of quarterly forecast revisions including projecting cash flow requirements over the course of the year. We were spending far too much time chasing down broken links and double-checking formulas for errors.”
