Financial Planning FAQs

Common questions about financial planning and corporate strategy with Sigma.

How does Sigma change the month-end close and reconciliation process?

Sigma automates reconciliation so you can close books without manual exports or waiting for nightly batches. Controllers input manual journal entries, add flux commentary, and sign off on consolidated P&Ls directly against live ledger data. You drill down into transaction-level variances immediately to resolve discrepancies.

Can we build collaborative budgets without emailing spreadsheets?

Yes, you build collaborative annual budgets across departments without spreadsheet versions. Finance teams input preliminary budgets, configure seasonality factors, and model scenarios directly against live GL data. Department owners add commentary and justifications, all while querying the exact same warehouse dataset.

How does Sigma handle "what-if" scenario modeling?

Finance teams use governed writeback to model 'What-If' scenarios and write values back to the warehouse instantly. You adjust forecasts and budgets without breaking the model. This setup replaces static reporting with continuous collaborative planning.

Can treasury teams forecast cash flow on live data?

You combine actual bank transactions with manual treasury forecasts to project cash positions across entities and currencies. Treasury teams input FX trades, manual adjustments, and target balances directly into live cash data. This eliminates the daily ritual of downloading bank files to update forecast spreadsheets.

How do we track and explain budget variances?

Sigma lets you explain budget variances in seconds. You analyze spend across departments and projects at the invoice line-item level. This direct access to granular data identifies drivers of overspend instantly.

How does Sigma handle headcount & personnel cost planning?

How does Sigma connect to our ERP?

Sigma connects directly to your cloud data warehouse, where your ERP data resides. Once your ERP data lands in the warehouse, Sigma queries it live. This warehouse-native architecture lets you harmonize reporting across disparate ERP systems into a single cloud data warehouse.

Can finance teams self-serve their own reports without going to IT or a data team?

Yes. Sigma provides a familiar spreadsheet interface that runs directly on live warehouse data. Finance teams pivot, filter, and calculate billions of rows independently. IT maintains governance and row-level security in the warehouse, while analysts explore data and build models without waiting in an IT ticket queue.
