Financial clarity for better business decisions

A fractional service built on good numbers, done properly

The result is better visibility and a dependable forward-looking financial picture you can rely on to run your business well. See what’s ahead, stay in control, and act with confidence, all without the cost or risk of a full-time finance director.

A simple way to view, analyse and share your financial statements

FDPack combines actuals, budgets, and forecasts into a single database so that you can move seamlessly along a timeline from past performance to future plans. You can analyse your P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet in any comparative combination and for any timeframe. Share tailored views across your business to give every recipient the insight they need and in the format that makes sense to them.

  • Easily share the right numbers with the right people
  • Timeline and comparative views of actual, forecast and budget
  • Month, quarter, rest of year, this year, future years; display any period you choose

Forecasts done properly

In order to make forecasts more accurate and detailed, they are built with transaction level detail in the same format as the actuals. All three statements are integrated ensuring that, for example, changes to the P&L are automatically reflected in the Cash Flow and Balance Sheet.

  • “3 Way” forecasting ensures data integrity
  • Quickly and easily roll forecasts forward with updated actuals
  • Drill down to understand forecast detail and assumptions
