The Nine Circles of Spreadsheet Hell

Spreadsheets can be heaven…for some tasks. It’s not that they aren’t great—they are. But, let’s face it, spreadsheets break down if you’re trying to rely on them systematically to gather data from across the organization, roll up departmental plans, or do complex, collaborative planning. A volatile economy demands a smarter approach to financial planning and analysis (FP&A), and more and more finance professionals are discovering that manual spreadsheet-based planning just doesn’t let you go there.
Trying to force it to do so is like trying to use a hammer to build an entire house. It’s useful, but you’re going to need some other, stronger tools as well.

This eBook is about transforming the Nine Circles of Spreadsheet Hell into something more powerful—FP&A in the cloud. It’s based on our experience of helping over 4,500 midsize and enterprise companies escape the chaos of infinitely interlocking spreadsheets, cascading scenarios,
formula clash and unseen errors.
