“We split those into full-time, part-time, and contingent workers. Each country then has benefits like payroll tax, vacation allowance, and insurance, and those can get complicated by country. And for each country, they can have separate rules or calculations that reference each other.”
“Planful is a Swiss army knife for finance; it’s the tool we’re always using. Being on a finance-owned solution is huge. We don’t have to rely on other people who might have other priorities that could cause delays in reporting. When it’s finance-owned, we can troubleshoot anything.”
“[Planful] gives us peace of mind knowing we can make quick adjustments and understand exactly where our money is being spent and the outcomes of that spend.”

“We have very aggressive growth goals. We’re doubling revenues and profits year over year over year. Host Analytics is allowing us to grow, invest and perform at the level we need, which is why we renewed our contract again.”

"Anytime a change would need to be made all of those templates would need to be updated and revised. Just to consolidate all of that information took forever, It was such a manual process that our annual budgets took four to five months at least."
"Since adopting [Planful], we’ve shortened our close process so much that we can spend a lot more time on analytics."
"Given our recent growth and changes the system’s flexibility has been key. From the currency options to the ability to easily add people or acquired businesses, [Planful] has delivered.”

"We would not be able to put timely, concise, accurate, actionable information in front of our decision makers without an FP&A platform like Planful."
