SuiteApp Spotlight: Solution 7 – Excel Financial Reporting & Planning

Financial reporting and planning are rarely one size fits all. Every client is unique with a variety of personal goals and challenges to overcome and achieve. Due to this, organizations often invest in multiple third-party software tools to visualize their data and create flexible financial statements. Here at Sikich, we often see CFOs and their teams working long hours fighting difficult-to-learn, inflexible financial reporting tools, complex Business Intelligence solutions, or costly FP&A solutions when all they want to do is fire up a copy of good old Microsoft Excel.

Our answer to this dilemma? Solution 7.
