Advanced financial planning and analysis (FP&A), especially in government contracting FP&A software, should act as a reliable compass to guide your company’s most crucial strategic decisions. Leadership needs the ability to gauge where the firm stands in the marketplace, anticipate shifts, and make confident data-backed decisions.
But when you rely on outdated processes—downloading Excel spreadsheets, copying reports, reconciling versions—executives may second-guess both the data and their decisions. Time wasted on reconciliation and error checking distracts your team from focusing on what matters most: improving and growing the business.
If version control issues, broken formulas, or hours lost to reconciliation sound familiar, it’s time to upgrade to an automated FP&A system and budgeting and forecasting automation tools designed for the complexity of modern finance.
Nue Information partners with your finance team from start to finish. We configure our cloud-based FP&A platform to match your company’s needs. Then we stick with you to ensure a smooth transition from manual tasks to a system that is simple, efficient, and accurate.
We customize automated FP&A to:
Reduce Risk by Reducing Errors
Spreadsheets may feel like trusted tools, but manual FP&A operations carry increased risk. A single mistyped number or misplaced formula can ripple through budgets, forecasts, and reports. According to a recent study, 94 percent of spreadsheets used for business decision-making contain errors. In government contracting, where compliance and auditability are crucial, those errors can lead not only costly mistakes, but also damage your reputation with government clients.
Automation mitigates these risks with standardized validation, consistent calculations, version control, and audit trails. Nue’s FP&A automation reduces manual inputs, eliminates formula errors, and includes built-in checks to protect data integrity. That means your finance team can spend less time chasing discrepancies and more time analyzing insights. With reliable numbers, leadership can make decisions with greater confidence.
Save Time: Move from Manual Grind to Strategic Focus
Manual FP&A eats up valuable time. Finance teams may spend days pulling data from multiple sources, updating reports, reconciling spreadsheets, and rebuilding forecasts. According to CFO reports, 50 percent of finance teams take 6+ business days for their month-end close. By the time analysis begins, opportunities may already have passed, and decisions are based on outdated information.
Automation lifts these pressures. Nue’s cloud-based FP&A platform and automation budgeting tool integrates with Deltek, Unanet, QuickBooks, Salesforce and other CRM tools, ensuring data flows directly into budgets and forecasts. Dashboards and reports update in real time, so your team can model unlimited scenarios in minutes instead of days.
The result: leaders can respond nimbly to market shifts, contract opportunities, and cost pressures with current information.
