Centage Bets on AI with Maestro, an AI-Powered FP&A Co-Pilot

San Antonio, TX – Centage, a leader in financial planning and analysis (FP&A) software, is taking a bold step into the future of finance by introducing Maestro, an AI-powered FP&A co-pilot. Maestro is designed to help finance teams move faster, work more efficiently, and leverage AI in practical, impactful ways—empowering them to focus on strategy rather than getting bogged down by data entry and tedious tasks.

Meet Maestro: A Smarter Way to Navigate FP&A

The name Maestro is a tribute to Budget Maestro, the first budgeting and forecasting software created by Centage, which revolutionized how finance teams plan for the future. Just as a maestro conducts an orchestra—ensuring every musician plays in sync—finance leaders must orchestrate people, numbers, and processes to drive their businesses forward. Maestro serves as an AI-powered co-pilot inside Centage, helping users move faster, uncover insights, and streamline workflows.

Maestro enhances the Centage experience in three key ways:

• Problem Resolution:  By assisting users in resolving common issues and queries within the platform. This reduces the need for support tickets, minimizes workflow interruptions, and allows finance teams to move faster, with fewer delays.
• Introducing New Features: Helping users discover and leverage Centage’s full range of tools and functionalities to maximize platform benefits.
• Empowering Financial Decisions: Offering explanations of key financial concepts and planning tasks, helping users understand both the “how” and “why” behind their actions.

Early Feedback and Next Steps

In the first week of its soft launch, Maestro has received positive feedback, with users reporting successful assistance with tasks such as assigning default settings and copying data. While the current functionality focuses on guidance and issue resolution, Centage plans to enhance Maestro’s capabilities in the coming months. Future updates will include more detailed insights, assistance with specific account details, and potential automation of tasks like report creation.
