Sebastian brings together accounting, financial plans and business data to show where your company is heading, not just where it stood at the last close.
By the time finance has the numbers, the business has already moved on. A contract gets signed, a hiring plan changes, a vendor raises prices, customer usage rises. Those decisions affect revenue, costs and cash flow long before they appear in the closed books. Sebastian helps finance get ahead of those changes instead of catching up to them.
Continuous financial outlook: Sebastian brings posted actuals together with current business activity to maintain a more complete financial outlook throughout the month. As contracts, headcount, spending and operational drivers change, it identifies their financial impact and shows what is different from the last forecast, with actuals, incurred estimates and forecast clearly distinguished.
Financial decision-making: when costs rise or revenue falls behind plan, Sebastian helps finance investigate the drivers, evaluate alternatives as scenarios, and bring the right decisions to the business.
Accounting and FP&A on one picture: financial plans reflect what the business expects and accounting records what has been recognized. Sebastian connects the underlying business activity to both views, so forecasts can reflect new information before close while accounting confirms what belongs in the books.
Accounting: Sebastian helps accounting teams match invoices to purchase orders and receipts, prepare accruals, investigate discrepancies, reconcile balances and manage the close. Every proposed adjustment includes the supporting calculation and source evidence. Your team reviews and approves before anything is posted.
Built for different seats: a current outlook for CFOs, drivers, scenarios and the updated plan in one place for FP&A teams, and matching, accruals and reconciliations prepared with evidence for controllers and accounting.
Built around your existing systems: your ERP remains the system of record and your planning platform remains where approved budgets and forecasts live. Sebastian connects to ERP and accounting, planning, CRM, data warehouses, contracts and documents, email and chat, and banking and payments.
Control and trust: every number has a source and every change has a history. Sebastian connects financial results to their underlying records, calculations and assumptions, so your team can understand how a number was derived, what changed and who approved it. The speed of automation, with financial controls that remain in human hands.
