The planning platform
CFOs actually want
Buud replaces spreadsheet chaos. Build budgets, forecasts, and scenarios on a unified planning engine — with multi-company consolidation, driver-based formulas, and real-time reporting baked in.
Trusted by finance teams at forward-thinking companies
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
From multi-entity consolidation to driver-based planning — Buud brings your entire finance stack into one unified platform.
Multi-company consolidation
Roll up 1 to 100+ entities with FX translation, intercompany elimination, and minority interest — fully IAS 21-compliant.
Unified planning engine
Plan revenue, headcount, capex, and opex side-by-side. Every plan version links back to the same chart of accounts.
Driver-based formulas
Model assumptions once, propagate everywhere. Change a headcount driver and watch payroll, tax, and benefits update instantly.
Versioned everything
Budget v1, v2, Forecast Q1 — each version is immutable and comparable. No more "final_final_v3.xlsx".
Excel add-in
Pull live Buud data into Excel, run your analysis offline, push results back. Two-way sync keeps everything in lock-step.
Real-time reporting
P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — parameterized by Company, Period, Version. Drill from group to line-item in seconds.
Scenario modeling
Base, upside, downside — clone a version, tweak inputs, compare on a single page. Board-ready in minutes.
Enterprise controls
RBAC, audit trails, period locks, approval workflows. Built for finance teams that live or die by controls.
Fast onboarding
Import your chart of accounts, upload historicals, configure periods — your first working model is live in a day.
Built for the way finance
actually works.
Plan like a finance team, not a data engineer
Workpaper-based planning with rows (accounts), columns (periods), and any dimension you need — cost center, project, product. Formulas reference other cells by name, not by coordinate hell.
- Base, Global, Storable, and Calculated account types
- Formulas that read like business logic
- Planning journals for manual adjustments
- Lock periods when you're done
From 40 entities to one P&L in seconds
Define your entity hierarchy once. Buud handles FX translation at the right rate (closing, average, historical), eliminates intercompany balances, and computes minority interest automatically.
- IAS 21-compliant three-currency model
- Intercompany auto-elimination
- Minority interest & goodwill roll-up
- Drill down from group to line-item
Reports that match your narrative
Ship standard statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) or build your own. Every report is parameterized by Company, Period, and Version — compare anything to anything.
- Drag-and-drop report builder
- Real-time KPI dashboards
- Period-over-period & variance views
- Export to Excel, PDF, PowerPoint
Because your team lives in Excel
Pull Buud data into Excel, run your analysis, push results back. Two-way sync means your offline work never diverges from the source of truth.
- Live formulas that query Buud
- Bulk upload plans from Excel
- Templated inputs for department owners
- Version-aware — never overwrite by accident
Go live in four steps.
Not four quarters.
Most customers have their first working budget model in under a week.
Import your chart
Upload your CoA, entities, and historical actuals. Buud maps accounts, detects hierarchies, and builds your baseline — automatically.
Model your drivers
Define the 20 assumptions that move your business: pricing, headcount, growth rates. Everything downstream updates automatically.
Plan & consolidate
Department owners plan in templates you design. Consolidation runs on every save. Intercompany, FX, and eliminations handled for you.
Report & iterate
Publish board-ready reports. Compare versions. Run scenarios. Close faster each month, forecast smarter each quarter.
Built with finance teams.
Battle-tested by CFOs.
“Our month-end close dropped from 12 days to 3. The consolidation engine alone paid for Buud in the first quarter.”
“We model six scenarios weekly now. Before Buud, a single re-forecast took a full team a week. The driver-based formulas changed everything.”
“The Arabic/English bilingual interface made adoption across our MENA subsidiaries effortless. Every entity controller was productive day one.”
