Smart, Scalable FP&A—No Spreadsheets Required

Choosing the right FP&A software isn't just about checking boxes—it’s about finding a solution that fits your business today and scales with you tomorrow.

Some tools on the market are little more than glorified Excel add-ons, offering limited functionality and minimal support. Others are bloated enterprise platforms with price tags—and complexities—to match. Centage takes a different approach. We deliver the sophisticated planning, forecasting, and analysis capabilities you need to run your business with confidence—without the overhead and frustration of legacy systems.

Our intuitive, formula-free software lets finance teams model workforce costs, analyze scenarios, and adjust plans in real time. No coding, no chaos, no surprises.

Whether you're budgeting across departments, aligning payroll with funding, or preparing for audits, Centage gives you a reliable, one-source-of-truth that’s designed for accuracy and agility. And unlike many “set it and forget it” platforms, we’re here with real support, real expertise, and real results.

With Centage, you're not just buying software. You're upgrading how finance works.

We’ve helped thousands of global companies

Read what our customers are saying:

We used Centage to do some worst-case scenario planning, such as losing 50% of our revenue and planned hours. It was a huge benefit to forecast the impact on our revenue.

Peter Welch

CFO, Heartland

Because this solution is so easy to use, we have a lot of ownership from the directors. They can easily go in and review and really own their own budget numbers.

Lesley Delaney

CFO, Carroll County Memorial Hospital

It’s made the process much easier when we go to build the budget year-over-year – it’s been a huge help.

Nate Walters

CFO, The Wildlife Gallery

I look at the numbers and quickly have so much more confidence in them… It’s really just a push of the button now.

Jodi Norris

Controller, The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh

More of my time is spent focusing on analyzing the data rather than spending time entering the data.

Shelly Golly

Price Family Vineyards & Estates

I can change forecasts and get new information faster and without extra headaches... Centage lets us be smart about what we will do in the future.

Joan Edelman

We are able to spend less time talking about the numbers in the budget and spend more time on how we’re going to get there.
