Building a Better Finance Function

How Construction Companies Are Replacing Spreadsheets With Smarter Financial Planning

Spreadsheets can't keep up with the complexity of modern construction finance. This infographic breaks down the industry's biggest planning challenges — and what's possible when finance teams move to a dedicated financial performance platform.

  • Budgeting efficiency — streamlined, automated planning cycles vs. 90+ days spent manually managing 250+ Excel files passed back and forth.
  • WIP schedules and job reporting — faster, more accurate outputs vs. 2–5 days per month of manual preparation that half of construction finance teams still rely on Excel to produce.
  • Strategic capacity — time freed up for forecasting and operational planning vs. finance teams buried in error-prone spreadsheet maintenance.

When one adjustment to a multi-million-pound job means reforecasting hundreds of thousands of cells, the cost of staying in Excel adds up fast. See what a better finance function looks like for construction.
