smart/sync: goodbye to guesswork, hello to (more) accurate forecasting

Imagine a finance world where you’re no longer tethered to clunky Excel workbooks or endless cross-linked spreadsheets just to get a clear view of your financial position. Where you’re not handling exported data from finance systems, which is time-consuming and I’d even go so far as saying: dangerous - with each spreadsheet link, each manual entry, adding layers of risk that piles up with every report. 

Picture this: instead of scrambling through multiple files, manually manipulating data, and stitching together reports that may still be a day behind, you’re making real-time, razor-sharp decisions based on live financial data that you can trust. Does such a thing exist, I hear you say? 

Yes, yes it does. And it’s called smart/sync. With automated, real-time reporting, you can wave goodbye to the risks and inefficiencies of spreadsheet-driven financial management. Instead, smart/sync brings all your data into a single, accurate source, helping finance directors to make informed, proactive decisions with confidence. 

smart/sync isn’t just another finance tool – it's not a standalone finance tool at all, it’s much more than that. It’s your business intelligence, a single, unified source of truth that pulls together information from across your finance, operations, and analytics, all set to showcase the full picture of your business’s performance. Let's look at some examples of how smart/sync can support you as a finance director: 

Case study 1: Your Financial P&L is taking daily feeds from your accounts system, pulling in real-time sales forecasts from your sales platform, and integrating project / service delivery financial statuses - all in one place. Need to zoom into the details or step back for a bigger picture? No problem, it’s all there, no Excel workbooks or manual tweaks in sight. 

Case study 2: Looking to compare multiple operational budgets and track changes from last month, quarter, or even the last year? With smart/sync’s interactive budget dashboards, you can filter by budget holders, budget codes, and commodities in just moments. The insights are right at your fingertips - and again - no spreadsheets, no hassle – just smooth intuitive intelligence. 

Three key takeaways for Finance Directors using smart/sync: 

1. Improve reporting accuracy: real-time data updates reduce errors and ensure that all financial reports reflect the latest information. 

2. Enhance forecasting capabilities: with access to timely data, finance teams can make better predictions and develop more precise financial models. 

3. Streamline data consolidation: by bringing together data from various sources, smart/sync creates a single source of truth, eliminating the need for manual data collation.
