I've already recommended Planful to several friends and their finance departments for reporting, budgeting, forecasting & report distribution. It's straightforward to pick up & learn if you have a solid implementation partner. If you're frustrated with manual processes, large excel files crashing, or outdated reporting/budgeting tools I highly recommend checking out Planful. At the very least, schedule a demo and have an open mind because the opportunities & time savings are invaluable.

Planful - an honest opinion from a 9-year admin.

Planful is a great tool for planning and reporting and is well suited to support all planning activities and combine the operational, commercial and financial plan. It is especially good at planning the Workforce but at the same time there is room for improvement on the Workforce reporting field.
Now, [...] is in the process of implementing the consolidation solution of Planful and we trust this will serve the team's needs as well.

A budget and forecast tool that makes financial planning easy!

We have already recommended it to other departments and they are using it now. I work a lot in the workforce planning section and they have made huge strides to the manual way it was when I started using it. Currently we are working on automating workforce data and once that is complete, we will roll that out to other departments. Also, doing some research with another dept that is interested in Planful & how we can make sure the tool gives them everything they want.

Planful is very well suited for people wanting to get out of excel and have one central source for reporting information. Additionally, I have noticed across several companies the need (and subsequent pleasure) of completely automating financial statements and reporting that is consistently delivered to stakeholders. The company has done a phenomenal job seeking and incorporating feedback. It is a very adaptable SAAS organization with strong, personable, understandable leadership. They seek to establish more than just B2B relationships, but rather friendships and ongoing consultants.
