Frequently asked questions

Do forecasts adapt to all types of businesses?
Yes, Finthesis works equally well for service companies, startups, industrial or commercial businesses. Assumptions and indicators are customizable based on each business model, seasonality and cash cycles.
Can I easily update my assumptions in the business plan?
Absolutely. In the Business Plan module, you can easily adjust prices, margins, expenses, investments and payment terms. All changes are instantly reflected in your forecast financial statements.
What is the difference between the business plan module and the reporting budget module?
The business plan module is dedicated to company creation (though you can start from an existing balance sheet). You define business assumptions and generate forecast financial statements (income statement, forecast balance sheet, cash flow statement, etc.) that can then be formalized in a report. The reporting budget module, on the other hand, allows you to integrate forecasts based on historical data (adjustable as needed) and compare them against actuals during the year. These budget forecasts can also be converted into cash flow forecasts within the reporting module, always with a year-to-date comparison objective.
Can I create multiple scenarios to compare options?
Yes, you can duplicate your assumptions and test as many scenarios as needed: optimistic, conservative, realistic… Each scenario is instantly comparable to help you quickly identify the most relevant option.
Does the platform offer visuals suited for comparing actuals vs forecasts?
Cards, gauges, bar charts and more — our library offers a wide range of visuals to easily display actual vs budget comparisons.
Can variances between forecasts and actuals be tracked easily?
Yes, Finthesis includes a dedicated module that automatically compares projections with actual data and highlights variances. You immediately spot deviations, identify trends and adjust decisions to stay aligned with your goals.
Is it possible to build my payroll forecasts, employee by employee?
Absolutely. In the Social module, you can easily simulate personnel movements, apply salary increases, calculate related contributions... all on an individual or mass basis.
