Advisor — The FP&A advisor for high-value decisions
Advisor is the strategy consultant that lives inside your data. Built for CFOs, Heads of FP&A and Procurement of mid to large enterprises.
Enterprise clients include
Ten enterprises in production across six industries. The same platform in every deployment, on an annual subscription.
The decision gap
Three things are supposed to tell a business leader what to do when the world moves: dashboards, analysts, and consultants. None of them actually does.
01Dashboards
Dashboards answer the questions you knew to ask.
They were built for last year’s questions. The one a board member asked yesterday wasn’t on the list. Neither is the one the CFO will ask tomorrow. The stack gets faster at answering questions nobody is asking.
02Analysts
Analysts can answer anything. In two weeks.
Each new question becomes a project: pull the data, reconcile the definitions, build the model, format the deck. By the time the answer arrives, the decision has already been made.
03Consultants
Consultants answer the hard ones. Then they leave.
The firm comes in, analyses, presents. Six months later the question returns in a different shape, and the answer left with the team that built it. You pay twice and keep neither.
What Advisor does
The questions that used to mean a consulting engagement, an analyst sprint, or a board meeting without a clear answer.
When the board questions the impact of current events on the plan.
Model the scenario in minutes, with assumptions visible and the methodology built in. Change a price, a volume, a headcount, a capex assumption. See the impact across P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet. Run three scenarios side by side.
Today
EPM tools and spreadsheets. Weeks per scenario.
With Advisor
Minutes. Any number of scenarios, same subscription.
When the board asks the question that isn’t in the deck.
Ask in plain language. Get a grounded answer with sources cited. The analysis runs against your data, with the reasoning visible underneath, ready to share or challenge.
Today
BI dashboards and analyst time. Days per question.
With Advisor
Minutes. No new dashboard, no new cost.
When the board hands you a cost reduction target, and you have weeks not months.
Spend analytics, savings initiatives sized and prioritised, with the reasoning behind each move. Each recommendation comes with a transparent business case you can approve, adjust, or reject.
Today
Consultants. Six-month engagements.
With Advisor
Weeks to first savings. Stays live. Software cost.
Advisor consolidates and harmonises the extracts you already have, across ERPs, entities, vendor masters and spend taxonomies that were never aligned. Axplora came with nine ERPs and 28,000 vendors after a merger. Their first consolidated view of spend was inside Advisor. Fix the warehouse in parallel. Don't wait for it.
Why it works
Business judgment
Comes with business judgment built in.
Advisor doesn’t start from zero. It arrives understanding financial models, cost structures and industry benchmarks, then learns your definitions and your cost base.
Numbers you can defend
Deterministic engines run the math. The language model only narrates the result. Click any figure and trace it to source, or disagree, change an input and recalculate.
Permanent capability
It stays after the project ends.
Consultants finish and leave with the capability. Analytics implementations take six months and arrive already outdated. Advisor connects to your systems, runs continuously, and is there whenever the next question comes up.
Proof
Live deployments. Not pilots, not proofs of concept.
