"From frustrated controller to CPO"

When I discovered Planacy – and how it changed everything

At the time, I was working at a global company, and we were facing the same challenges as many others: complex and time-consuming processes, a lack of transparency, and a frustration that we spent more time managing numbers than analysing them.

That's when we came into contact with Planacy. I immediately noticed that there was something different about their vision. A system that could not only automate Excel models – but also transform the entire FP&A work process.

From customer to CPO – an unexpected journey

During the course of the project, I was not only impressed by the possibilities of the system, but above all by the people behind it. I saw the potential in both the platform and the company, and when I was asked to become part of the team, the choice was simple.

Going from being a customer to now, much later, being the Chief Product Officer at Planacy, is a journey I could never have predicted. I am very proud to lead the development of a platform that helps hundreds of companies avoid the challenges I once struggled with myself.

Why Planacy is the obvious choice for modern FP&A teams

Over the years, I have seen Planacy evolve into the leading FP&A solution in the Nordics, and we continue to drive innovation in financial planning. Our platform stands out in many ways, but here are three things that are especially dear to my heart as a former controller:

1. Unbeatable time-to-value

We know that time is money, and that long and complicated implementation projects can be a nightmare. That's why we designed Planacy to be fast to implement – our customers are often up and running in just a few weeks.

2. Balance sheet & cash flow in every forecast

Robust financial planning requires a holistic view, which is why Planacy makes it easy to include balance sheets and cash flow analyses in your forecasts, which gives you a more complete picture of your company's finances.

3. The market's best integration with Excel & Google Sheets

Yes, I’m still an Excel nerd. And I know many others in FP&A are too. That’s why we’ve made sure Planacy has the markets smoothest integration with both Excel and Google Sheets, so you can combine the best of both worlds – the flexibility and power of Excel with the automation of Planacy.
