Connect actuals at journal-entry level
Intelligent Planning & Analytics (iP&A)

Financial planning, budgeting and forecasting — continuous, not cyclical.

Keboola makes planning, budgeting and forecasting continuous: budgets built on traceable actuals harmonized across every entity and ERP, Monte Carlo what-if simulation with P10–P90 bands (now in preview), and agents that keep watching after the board approves. Reforecast weekly, not quarterly. You do not need a clean data layer before you start.

The Problem

Planning is still cyclical, ad-hoc, and retrospective.

The budget cycle takes longer than the period it covers.

6 weeks of consolidating submissions, reconciling versions, chasing missing data. By the time the board approves the budget, the assumptions it was built on are already outdated.

Actuals and plan never reconcile cleanly.

The plan was built in one system; actuals live in five. When ‘contribution margin’ means three different things across entities, variance analysis fails before it starts — the comparison itself is wrong.

What-if analysis is three Excel tabs labeled best, base, worst.

No probability attached, no sensitivity ranking, no way to say which driver actually moves the outcome. The board gets a point estimate and a shrug — not a range it can plan against.

The plan stops being watched the day it is approved.

Drift shows up at month-end close, weeks after it started — and the variance commentary becomes archaeology. Nobody’s job is to watch the plan between cycles. So nobody does.

Intelligent Planning & Analytics

Plans on traceable actuals. Simulations with probability bands. Agents that keep watching.

We call it iP&A — Intelligent Planning & Analytics. Continuous, not cyclical. Semantic, not ad-hoc. Simulative, not retrospective.

How it works

Youdonotneedacleandatalayerbeforeyoustart.

Connect actuals

Keboola pulls actuals from every ERP at journal-entry level and maps them into one harmonized chart of accounts — so plan vs. actual compares like-for-like across entities. Variance analysis starts from data, not from a reconciliation exercise.

01
02

Unify drivers

Headcount from Workday. Volume from the ERP. Pricing from the CRM. Every driver connected to the financial layer under governed definitions — so a driver-based forecast runs on real inputs, not a structured guess. No manual joining exercise.

Reforecast and simulate

The pipeline is automated, so a reforecast is a model run, not a data collection sprint — weekly or monthly. Then stress it: Monte Carlo simulation, now in preview, returns P10–P90 bands and ranks which drivers move the outcome most. The board gets a range it can plan against, not a point estimate.

04

Keep watching after approval

Once the plan is locked, Monitoring Agents track revenue growth, margin compression, and OpEx ratio — the drivers your plan depends on. When reality drifts, a signal fires into one stream, with the journal entries behind it. FP&A stops discovering drift at close.

Why Keboola

Anaplan and Planful compete in xP&A — extended planning on whatever data they find. Keboola is iP&A: intelligent planning built on the governed actuals layer those tools assume.

CFOs who already own a planning platform buy Keboola because the platform finally gets harmonized, traceable actuals — and the planning doesn’t stop when the plan is approved.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything finance, IT, and procurement will want to know — up front.

iP&A is planning run as a continuous operating process: budgets built on traceable actuals, Monte Carlo simulation (in preview) instead of static best/base/worst tabs, and agents that monitor the plan after approval. FP&A is the function; xP&A is where incumbents like Anaplan, Planful, and Workday Adaptive extended planning across departments. iP&A changes the operating model itself — continuous, not cyclical; semantic, not ad-hoc; simulative, not retrospective.
No. Keboola is the governed data layer underneath — your planning tool finally receives harmonized, traceable actuals and drivers instead of manual exports. Keep the tool your team knows; we feed it. What Keboola adds on top is the iP&A layer: what-if simulation and plan monitoring that planning tools don't do between cycles.
Three things: actuals harmonized to one chart of accounts at journal-entry level, operational drivers (headcount, volume, pricing) joined to the financial layer, and one governed definition per metric. Without all three, a driver-based model is a structured guess — the drivers and the financials never reconcile. Keboola delivers them in the same project, typically in 8 weeks — the timeline Creditinfo hit in 2 months and BRIX Holdings beat with first insights in 3 weeks.
Weekly — versus quarterly in most organizations. Because actuals and drivers refresh automatically, a reforecast is a model run, not a six-week data collection cycle. Home Credit's FP&A team cut reporting time by 70% across 9 countries and now plans on current actuals instead of month-old exports.
Yes, at two levels. Every plan-vs-actual variance drills down to the journal entries behind it, so the explanation is evidence, not narrative reconstruction. And Monitoring Agents track revenue growth, margin compression, and OpEx ratio — the drivers your plan depends on — firing a signal into one stream when the numbers move, so FP&A stops discovering drift at close.
You pick the drivers, the simulation runs the scenarios on your governed actuals, and returns P10–P90 probability bands plus a sensitivity ranking of which drivers move the outcome most. The board gets a defensible range instead of a point estimate. Simulation is live in preview — ask to see it on a sample dataset.
No — that is the point. Keboola delivers the harmonized actuals and driver layer as part of the same project; cleaning the data first is the work the platform does. Creditinfo went live in 2 months; P3 Logistic Parks — 14 systems across 11 countries — reached first value in 8 weeks.
