Budgeting & Planning

Plan on live numbers. Not last quarter’s export.

Rivane builds budgets, forecasts, and plans on the same ledger your books run on, driver-based models, rolling forecasts, and budget-vs-actual that refresh as actuals post.

01

Plan on live actuals

Budgets sit on the same ledger as your books, so variance is current without an export step.

02

Driver-based models

Build from headcount, volume, and rate assumptions instead of hardcoded cells.

03

Re-forecast in minutes

Roll the forecast forward each period and compare scenarios without rebuilding the model.

Planning connected to the books

No exports, no version sprawl, plans sit on the same data actuals do.

Driver-based models

Build budgets from headcount, volume, and rate assumptions you control.

Budget vs. actual

Variance against plan updates as entries post to the ledger.

Rolling forecasts

Re-forecast each period without rebuilding the model.

Multi-scenario planning

Compare base, upside, and downside side by side.

Departmental budgets

Owners plan their own lines; finance rolls it up.

Version control

Every plan version is saved, labeled, and comparable.

Driver-based planning

Models built on assumptions, not hardcoded cells

Tie budget lines to the drivers that move them, headcount, units, price, or usage. Change an assumption and the dependent lines recompute, so the plan stays internally consistent.

  • Headcount, volume, and rate drivers
  • Assumptions cascade automatically
  • Reusable model templates

Budget vs. actual

Variance you can see the moment it happens

Because plans sit on the live ledger, budget-vs-actual refreshes as actuals post. There is no monthly export step, the variance report is current whenever you open it.

  • Refreshes as actuals post
  • Drill from variance to the entry
  • Period, quarter, and year-to-date views

Rolling forecasts

Re-forecast without rebuilding

Roll the forecast forward each period and blend actuals with the remaining plan. Multiple scenarios stay in sync so you can steer on the latest view, not a stale annual budget.

  • Actuals blended into forecast
  • Base, upside, and downside scenarios
  • Continuous re-forecasting

One plan, every view your team needs

Move between models, actuals, and scenarios, all reading from the same live ledger.

Build the plan from the drivers that move it

Tie budget lines to headcount, volume, price, and usage instead of hardcoded cells. Change one assumption and every dependent line recomputes, so the plan stays internally consistent without manual rewiring.

  • Headcount, volume, and rate drivers
  • Assumptions cascade automatically
  • Reusable model templates

How it works

From assumptions to board-ready plan

Each step runs on live ledger data, so the plan never drifts from the books.
