About Planful

Planful is a cloud-based financial performance management platform that covers financial planning and analysis (FP&A), financial close, and reporting. Its AI layer — called Planful Predict — surfaces anomalies in journal entries, forecast variances, and consolidation errors before they become problems. Planful is designed for corporate finance teams that have outgrown Excel for planning and need a structured environment for budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and reporting to the board. It integrates with major ERP systems and supports complex multi-entity structures.
