Annual Operating Plan
Open a planning cycle and hand each owner their slice. Collect submissions, route them through review and sign-off, and keep every version intact. The approved plan becomes the budget of record and feeds budget vs actual from the moment the first journal posts.
What it does

Where it sits
Part of Financial Planning and Analysis.
Budgets Build, review and lock the budget by dimension. Rolling Forecasts A forecast that re-bases itself as the year progresses. Scenarios Downside, base and upside on the same structure. Driver Models The relationships that actually move the numbers. Variance Analysis The gap, decomposed, with the transactions underneath. Workforce Planning Headcount, cost and capacity planned as one thing. KPI Targets Targets defined on the ledger, so the actual needs no assembling. Cash Flow Forecasting Cash flow forecasting software. A direct 13-week cash runway built from live receivables, payables, payroll and tax due dates. Departmental Budgets Departmental budgeting software where every cost centre owns its own number. Revenue Planning A revenue plan tied to pipeline and books. Plan revenue by product, segment or region from the same chart of accounts your statements use.
