For CFOs

Enterprise complexity without enterprise-scale implementation

You have the entity count, the currency exposure and the governance obligations of a much larger business, and a Finance team carrying all of it. Planir turns that into one governed set of numbers your board can trace.

Trusted by CFOs and finance teams at multi-entity groups across APAC

What changes for the CFO on one platform?

Planning, group reporting and consolidation run against one governed model. The budget you approve becomes the baseline for variance, and the same view feeds the board pack. Pack and plan are one set of numbers, traceable to each ledger.

One governed model behind the plan, the pack and the group view.

01

Plan

Driver-based budgets and forecasts you review and approve, built from your accounting history.

02

Report

The financial section of your board pack and investor update, generated from your data.

03

Consolidate

Every entity in one real-time group view, with intercompany eliminations handled.

When does a CFO put this on the agenda?

Four moments make this a board-level problem: a structure that has outgrown manual consolidation, a fixed reporting obligation, an ERP change that leaves planning out of scope, and a transaction ahead.

The moments that make this a board-level decision.

A multi-entity group structure

Three to thirty entities across countries and currencies, frequently on mixed ERPs after an acquisition. Manual consolidation stops scaling and everyone involved knows it.

A board or investor reporting obligation

PE-backed, family-office-backed or listed. The pack is scrutinised, the cadence is non-negotiable, and a missed elimination is a governance event.

An ERP change or finance transformation

The ledger gets clean and the planning and reporting layer still lands in Excel unless it is designed in. The cheapest time to fix that is during the programme.

A transaction ahead

A raise, a sale or a diligence process. Projections have to be investor-grade, and every figure has to trace back to source under scrutiny.

Which systems does Planir connect to?

Connect what you already run, and add more later. Entities on different systems consolidate into the same group view, and anything without a direct connection comes in by CSV or Excel upload with the same data model and audit trail.

Connect what you already use, and add more later.

ERP and accounting

SAP · Sage Intacct · NetSuite · Microsoft Dynamics 365 · Xero · QuickBooks · MYOB

  • Live native connections with delta syncing, not a monthly export cycle
  • A mixed estate is the normal case: parent on one ERP, subsidiaries on others
  • Unified chart-of-accounts mapping with agent assistance

Operational drivers

Salesforce · HubSpot · Snowflake · Databricks · data lakes

  • Pipeline, usage and headcount as planning drivers
  • Plan against what moves the business, not a growth rate applied to last year
  • Queried directly rather than exported into a workbook

Everything else

SharePoint · Box · Excel and Google Sheets · any API or SFTP endpoint

  • Structured ingestion and audit trail identical to a native connection
  • Supporting schedules read from the document libraries Finance already uses
  • No buyer is blocked by their system estate

What does this change on the CFO's desk?

Key-man risk in a model only one person understands. A close that drags because consolidation is manual. A board question nobody can answer in the meeting. A Finance function that cannot absorb another entity without another hire.

The four things that cost a CFO most at this scale.

Key-man risk in the consolidation model

The 80-tab model one person understands leaves when they do. Planir holds the group structure, the mappings and the rules in a governed model, not in someone's workbook.

A close that drags for a week

Only 18% of Finance teams close in three days or less. LBD took their reporting cycle from four days to half a day on Planir, releasing 60% more time for analysis.

Numbers the board cannot trace

Complete data lineage from the final report back to the source ERP entry, with every sync, edit, comment and approval timestamped and attributed.

Finance that cannot scale without headcount

Every new entity, investor requirement and dimension of analysis is currently absorbed by hiring another analyst. On a cube-based model, they are configuration.

Common questions from CFOs

What does Planir actually replace?
The layer between your ERP and the board pack: spreadsheet consolidation, manually rebuilt schedules, emailed budget workbooks and retyped commentary. Your ERP stays the system of record. Planir reads from it and never writes back.
How long does implementation take?
One priority workflow live in weeks, not a multi-quarter programme. Four stages: scope, connect and configure, validate with Finance against your own numbers, then go live and expand. The scoping session is free and everything after it is time-boxed.
We would need to run it in parallel for a quarter. Is that a problem?
No, it is the recommended path. Stage 3 of the implementation is Finance reconciling Planir's output against your existing process until the numbers tie. We offer a parallel run before anyone asks for one.
Our subsidiaries are on different systems. Does that break the consolidation?
No. A mixed estate is the normal case, not an exception. Parent on NetSuite, subsidiaries on Xero: each connects to whatever it runs, maps to one chart of accounts, and consolidates with intercompany elimination and FX handled.
Will this pass our security review?
Planir is SOC 2 Type II certified, with role-based access by company and GL account, Security by Measure at field level, MFA enforced and a full audit trail. ISO 27001 is in progress.
