Numerus vs Legacy FP&A

Legacy FP&A platforms such as Anaplan, Oracle and SAP are built for structured enterprise planning. Numerus is a workspace where AI agents do the finance work around the plan: collecting data, explaining variances and running recurring processes on the systems you already have.

A plan is only as useful as the work around it

Planning platforms model the plan inside their own environment. Bringing actuals in, explaining why they moved and keeping the model current is still work someone has to do, often with admins or consultants. Numerus puts AI agents on that work, using your existing tools, files and rules.

Where Numerus fits

Variances explained, not just reported

Numerus agents trace a variance across your ERP, CRM and spreadsheets to its cause, and show every step they took to get there.

Start with the systems you have

Numerus connects to Sage, Dynamics 365, QuickBooks, Xero and your files, so there is nothing to migrate first. Teams are live in days, starting with one recurring task.

Changes without a rebuild

Your processes live in reusable workflows that follow your firm's rules. When the business changes, your team updates the workflow itself, with no consultants or dedicated admin.

Questions

Days, not quarters. Numerus connects to the tools you already use, and most teams start with one recurring task and expand from there.

No. Your finance team sets up and updates its own workflows, without an implementation partner or a platform admin.

Yes, with no limit on data set size. Connect Numerus to a remote database or add hundreds of files, such as full general ledgers and multi-year transaction histories, and the Numerus file engine handles them. Agents work on the complete data rather than a sample.

No. Numerus works alongside the tools you already use. Many teams start by automating the work that feeds the plan, such as data collection, reconciliation and variance analysis.

Yes. Financial modelling and what-if analysis are core use cases, along with reporting, dashboards, reconciliation and recurring finance workflows.

Every execution step is recorded. Your team can open any result, see the sources and steps behind it, and decide whether to accept it. Judgement stays with you.

Yes. Teams encode their processes once as reusable workflows and run them on their own rules, as often as they need.
