Budget vs Actuals

Get real-time, drillable visibility into budget variances—no spreadsheets or reconciliation delays.

Eliminate the chaos of Excel-based budget reconciliation. Keboola connects planning tools (e.g., Excel, Anaplan) with ERP systems to create real-time variance reports. Finance and FP&A teams can view actuals vs. budget by department, GL account, or entity—all in a governed, auditable dashboard. This accelerates insight delivery and helps finance professionals drive accountability across the business.

Your Challenges

Heavy reconciliation workloads eat up to 80% of FP&A’s time each period.

Version confusion causes reporting errors. Budgets stored across spreadsheets and email create misalignment and rework.

Lack of visibility hides cost drivers. Without the ability to drill down, teams can’t understand the root causes of over- or underspending.

Delays kill agility. When reports arrive weeks after month-end, finance becomes reactive instead of strategic.

FAQs

Can Keboola track both original and reforecasted budgets?

Yes—every version is tagged and time-stamped, so you can compare initial plans to reforecasts and actuals with full visibility.

What if we use multiple ERPs or different COAs?

No problem. Keboola standardizes and maps across systems and charts of accounts to enable unified reporting.

Can department heads get access to filtered dashboards?

Yes. Keboola supports role-based access so that budget owners only see the data relevant to their function or entity.
