Home / Events / Budgeting and Planning Solutions that Replace Excel

Spreadsheet-based budgeting and planning is never “board-worthy”, and it doesn’t provide finance teams enough time to do what-if analysis and forecasting. Using a budgeting and planning solution that integrates with your accounting system can save hours to days’ worth of work and eliminate common pitfalls of spreadsheet-based processes. With the right budgeting software, everyone works on the latest version and knows who updated the budget and when. You can create and save multiple scenarios within a single budget, so you have a better handle on your process. For a primer, read Seven Reasons to Move to Cloud Financials Now.

In the webinar, we will discuss:

• Identify two highly recommended options for integrated budgeting and planning
• How to work with GRF to continue discussions around the best fit tools for your organization
