Handles complex financial consolidation and reporting requirements that traditional FP&A tools struggle with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet?

Chief Financial Officer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/14/2025 "A very high quality FP&A tool" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? It is simple to use, with a logcial UI and syntax to achieve the desired results. It is very quick to implement and integrate with other data. The ability to share with key stakeholder and the flexibility in what be represented is brilliant. We rely on it during our budgeting and planning phases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It could increase the number of integrations, but it is by no means short Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Co-CEO Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/17/2024 "Best in class financial tool" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Last year, when I was looking for a financial tool that I could use for quick and easy financial planning, I looked at several products and ended up sticking with Causal. I still don't regret that decision. On the contrary, I am very happy with it. Causal offers several different out-of-the-box financial models, which makes it very easy to get started. But it's still extremely flexible and made for complex financial modeling. There is very helpful and comprehensive documentation and many very well made videos by the founder himself. I use Causal every day and wouldn't want to be without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? This is complaining at a very high level, but I would like the dashboards to have even more customization options and to be able to set up different dashboards for different stakeholders for one model. But I'm sure that will come in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? On the one hand, Causal helps us to aggregate and analyze different data on income, expenses or various Saas metrics. On the other hand, we use Causal for our cash flow and budget planning.

Cofounder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/25/2024 "Perfect for startups that need financial visibility" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Causal is super robust, seamlessly blending my actual with forecasted values. I love the cross tab references and beautiful charts too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It was a little challenging getting started and learning the Causal way-- I did hire an amazing consultant who helped us out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MG Michael G. Marketing Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/30/2024 "Phenomenal product with great support" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? The functionality is so advanced. We've been able to build out some crazy in-depth financial models and forecasts, despite not having a CFO/financial specialist on the team yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? There is a steep learning curve due to the product being so advanced. Thankfully, the education and support is excellent - even during our free trial period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? We're able to forecast forward and apply different scenarios (e.g. if we raise X amount in funding, then what happens to our numbers?). Everything is all connected and changes flow downstream so we can see the effects throughout the sales funnel and right through to our bottom line. Building this in spreadsheets would be an absolute nightmare and would take vast amounts of time longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Head of Operations Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/29/2023 "I don't know why anyone still uses spreadsheets for Finance" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Using Causal allows me to focus on what the numbers mean, rather than having to worry about whether the calculations are correct. I can quickly understand the assumptions behind models, compare scenarios and track changes in ways which are impossible to do in a spreadsheet. Migrating into Causal was very easy - when we hit roadblocks, the support team are always quick to respond and help solve our problems. The product team are really responsive and features / fixes are released really quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? More Xero's fault than Causal's but for a cash-focussed startup, having a pre-built template of a direct cash flow (which we managed to do manually in the end) would have been REALLY helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Causal is allowing us to present information in a way that makes sense to both the Finance team and the rest of the business. It's also allowing us to make higher-quality decisions - when modelling a scenario is so easy, doing so before pulling the trigger is a no brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/21/2023 "The first legitimate excel killer I've come across" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Causal excels in facilitating complex financial modeling. Its user-friendly interface simplifies the integration of intricate formulas and scenarios. The aesthetically pleasing outputs are straightforward to configure. A standout feature is the emphasis on Monte Carlo simulations, which seamlessly incorporates variables with uncertainty. This allows for a clear visualization of the potential range of outcomes, enhancing decision-making in financial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? I honestly don't have anything materially bad to say about Causal. I think for a while it was hard to do things like IRR modeling but I believe they've fixed that more recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows me to build beautiful and complex forecasting models quickly. Most importantly it incorporates uncertainty at its core which allows me to quickly see how multiple uncertain inputs affect the range of possible outcomes. Furthermore, for anybody interacting with the model, they can play with those ranges of inputs and quickly see the modification in the results providing even more confidence in the model.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/20/2023 "Useful FP&A Tool" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Everything I have thought about trying to do, Causal has the ability to do it very cleanly and quickly. I really like the ability to quickly collapse up months into quarters into years without SUMIF formulas. I also like that formulas are based on names rather than cell references. It seamlessly integrates into Xero as well which is really useful. Any issues we have had were looked into quickly by Taimur and team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It is quite tech-heavy and so it takes some getting used to but it is a powerful tool once up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Business Operations Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/20/2023 "Approachable FP&A tool with easy set up and lots of great support." 4/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? As an Operations Specialist having a tool that is approachable and easy to set up/navigate but still sophisticated in its ability to provide solid financial forecasting and scenerio mapping is what I appreciate most about Causal. Also love that they have a network of fractional CFOs for set-up guidance, we appreciated this and used one of their recommended folks. Implementation is super easy compared to what was out in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It lacks some key integrations for SaaS, such as Recurly and it would be great if the Xero integration had some more attention paid to it, you cant link the cash summary which is a report we like using and I needed to reach out to support to have the numbers adjusted due to the expenses coming through as a positive deduction in the formula. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? The visual dashboards were what was really missing from our previous set up, which was using Google Workbooks and pivot tables, now we have a much clearer picture for forecasting and cashflow. Causal has also significantly reduced the EOM reporting time and because its all connected to our books less room for data entry error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director of Finance Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/20/2023 "Causal is more than a spreadsheet software & has become my business analysis and planning superhero!" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Its intergation with google sheets, and Quick Books Online has made the possibilities unlimited. Visualizing your analysis is also very easy with Causal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Categories make modellling and analysis super easy, yet the number of categories allowed are quite limited even for the extra upgrade! They also quoted the top tier as unlimited categories, but their support told me that it is actually limited to 3000 categories and they in reality do not offer unlimited categories, rendering it useless for me. I am very close to using my full 1000 categories for the extra upgrade tier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you?
