Budgeting & Forecasting | Revenue Planning

A revenue plan tied to the pipeline and the books.

Plan revenue by product, segment or region from the same chart of accounts your statements use. Subscription, usage and one-off lines model differently. The plan reconciles to booked revenue without a remap, and feeds the company budget and cash forecast automatically.

Standards + connections

A revenue plan grounded in the chart of accounts and connected to pipeline.

Revenue is planned on the same account structure the financial statements use, so the plan and the actuals reconcile by construction. There is no separate revenue model to map back to the books at month end.

Regulations we work within

  • Chart-of-accounts alignment

    Revenue lines map to the same accounts as the income statement, so plan and actuals compare without a translation layer.

  • IFRS 15 / ASC 606 revenue types

    Subscription, usage and one-off revenue model separately, consistent with how performance obligations are recognised under the standard.

  • Multi-entity and multi-currency

    Each entity plans in its functional currency and consolidates at your chosen rate, matching the structure of your statutory accounts.

Revenue Planning FAQ

What buyers ask.

How is revenue planning here different from a spreadsheet model?

The plan is built on the same chart of accounts your income statement uses, so actuals land against the plan the moment a journal posts. There is no import step and no manual tie-out between a separate model and the books. You can plan bottom-up from drivers, top-down from a target, or mix both, and every version is kept so you can compare the original plan to the current forecast at any point.

Can we model subscription, usage and one-off revenue differently?

Yes. Each revenue stream is configured with its own model: subscription lines use a seats-times-price logic with contraction and expansion; usage lines project from consumption drivers; one-off lines are entered directly or driven from a pipeline. All three consolidate into a single top line with the individual streams visible underneath.

How does the plan reconcile to booked revenue?

Because the plan is built on the same accounts as the financial statements, there is no remap at month end. Booked revenue from the ledger sits next to the plan in the same grid, and the variance is live from the moment the journal posts. You do not need to export actuals into a separate file to see how the period is tracking.

Can we build a bottom-up plan from pipeline and conversion rates?

Yes. You can define drivers such as pipeline by stage, conversion rate and average deal size, and the revenue line calculates from those inputs. Change a conversion assumption and the full-year projection updates. The driver values are stored with the plan so anyone reviewing the number can see exactly how it was built.

Build a revenue plan that reconciles to the books.

Connect your chart of accounts, configure your revenue streams, and the first plan runs on your own product lines, segments and actuals. No remap, no spreadsheet round-trip.
