FAQ

Feel free to contact us if you have other questions.

What if some of our companies use different accunting systems?

Francis allows you to integrate with different accounting systems. You can create custom mappings between general ledgers from different systems. Just connect all your systems, and the general ledgers from each will be accessible within Francis.

Can stakeholders access Francis to collaborate?

Yes, you can invite stakeholders to collaborate within Francis. Additionally, with our confidentiality features, you can grant access to specific parts of your model. This is particularly useful if your model contains sensitive information that you prefer not to share across the entire organization.

Can I upload an existing budget to Francis?

Since Francis functions like a spreadsheet, you can copy and paste your budget directly into the platform. If your budget includes specific business logic or assumptions, you can also replicate that structure within Francis.

Can I create department budgets using Francis?

Yes, as long as your departments are represented as dimensional values in your accounting system. If so, you can easily create department budgets. You can choose to run department budgets across all three financial statements or, more commonly, create them only for your P&L while keeping your balance sheet and cash flow consolidated.

Can I add newly acquired companies as we scale?

Yes, you can easily add newly acquired companies to your financial model as you scale. Simply connect the accounting system of the new company and include its general ledger accounts in your custom mapping to automatically consolidate actuals across entities.

We report on KPIs every month; can we include these in Francis?

Yes, you can calculate KPIs using formulas and functions, similar to Excel, and include them in your reporting. Many finance teams create a separate sheet for key KPIs to maintain a consolidated overview, which can then be added as a distinct page in their reports.
