AI FP&A and Forecasting Automation
ChatFin connects to your ERP for live actuals and automates rolling forecasts, variance commentary, scenario modeling, and board pack narrative. FP&A teams stop building models and start using them.
The FP&A work that does not require a human to build
13-week and full-year rolling forecasts updated automatically from live ERP actuals. No manual model refresh. The forecast reflects today, not the last export.
Budget vs actual pulled from your ERP at department, cost center, and project level. Variances calculated and ranked by materiality. Commentary drafted automatically for each significant variance.
Revenue upside, downside, and base case scenarios updated from a single CFO input. The agent propagates the assumption through the full P&L, cash flow, and headcount model automatically.
Management commentary, KPI summaries, and variance explanations written from live ERP data. CFO reviews and adds strategic context rather than building the narrative from scratch.
Actual headcount and opex tracked against plan in real time. Hiring variance, contractor spend, and departmental overage flagged before month end rather than discovered during close.
CFO asks a question in plain language. ChatFin queries live ERP data and returns a sourced answer in seconds. Three days of analyst work reduced to three messages.
FP&A that analyses instead of assembles.
