Anaplan

Anaplan provides real-time alignment between all planning bodies within your organization, we call it Integrated Business Planning with Anaplan. Anaplan is a cloud-based tool that calculates all your information in real time. Every cell input is calculated instantly without the push of a button. Anaplan is a user-friendly tool that is easy to integrate with other systems within the (financial) IT structure.

‍What do you use Anaplan for?

Anaplan offers solutions for financial planning, HR and workforce planning, strategic and commercial planning, consolidation and reporting, tax and sales planning. With powerful calculation functionality and flexibility, Anaplan is ideal for detailed planning and complex analysis.

Specifically within the Cloud Accounting and Consolidation domain, use Anaplan FCR (Financial Consolidation & Reporting). Typical applications of Anaplan FCR are Financial Consolidation, Financial Close Management, Financial Reporting, Account Reconciliation and Disclosure Management. Finext has also developed several standard applications within Anaplan, such as corporate tax reporting and IFRS-16 reporting.

Who uses Anaplan?

Anaplan is used by FP&A teams, financial controllers, sales and operations planners and other teams. These teams are often supported by a so-called Anaplan Centre of Excellence, who focus on the optimal use of the planning platform. At Finext, we enjoy working with the Centre of Excellence to guide organizations to fully utilize the capabilities within the tool. The Anaplan FCR tool within Anaplan has a strong synergy with Excel, making it an interesting solution for organizations looking to modernize their spreadsheet-based processes and make them less error-prone.
