Precanto

Precanto starts from a blunt observation about modern finance: planning happens once a year, but FP&A spends the other eleven months buried in spreadsheets. The platform is designed to close that gap by keeping the financial picture live. Its ingestion engine pulls data from your ERP, HRIS, ATS, and other systems, then automatically cleans, maps, and reconciles it, so forecasts begin from trusted inputs rather than a manually assembled model.

On top of that base, machine learning models continuously update forecasts using real-time inputs and historical trends. That produces a constantly refreshed view of where spend is tracking versus plan, headcount and compensation run-rates down to the GL, cost center, and location level, and forward-looking P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements. Because scenarios run on the most current data, what-if analysis reflects today's reality rather than assumptions set months ago.

Access is deliberately distributed. "Ask Precanto" lets finance and budget owners ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in real-time data and ML predictions, and the same insights can be delivered through Slack, email, or the browser. Precanto also supports self-service finance so budget owners can run their own scenarios and track spend without queuing behind the FP&A team. The company advertises enterprise-grade security including SOC 2 Type II certification, encryption in transit and at rest, and a 99.9% SLA uptime commitment.
