Helping Finance Teams Become More Efficient When Collaborating Using Spreadsheets
From Budgeting to Reporting and beyond.
Which Finance processes are you managing with spreadsheets?
Budgeting
Forecasting
Portfolio Reporting
Financial Reporting
How can Finance teams benefit from using Layer on collaborative use cases?
Budgeting
Budgeting is a highly collaborative process. Input is collected from various stakeholders, and the budget needs to be shared with management, investors, and departments.
You need to have control over your data and processes to avoid having numerous versions of files sent back and forth.
Forecasting
Predicting how a business will perform in the future requires different teams to contribute in the form of historical data and assumptions.
Granting full edit rights to several contributors takes control away from what goes on in your spreadsheet.
Reporting
Reporting often involves collecting data from and sharing insights with various people.
Making sure that deadlines are met when the necessary data is collected and that the data is error-free is fundamental to avoid additional tedious follow-ups.
Portfolio Reporting
Most Asset Managers collect, aggregate and analyze portfolio company financials and KPIs via the exchange of spreadsheets.
Fund controllers are often faced with collecting a variety of different files and formats, increasing the time spent on collection and consolidation.
