FP&A Software Development
Most FP&A platforms are built for subscription businesses: MRR, churn, and net revenue retention baked into the data model. If your revenue comes from projects, multi-currency manufacturing margins, or anything that isn't a monthly seat fee, you end up rebuilding the real planning logic in Excel around the tool anyway. We build the planning and forecasting layer around how your business actually earns money.
Planning models built around your real revenue drivers, not SaaS-metric defaults
Rolling forecasts and scenario planning tied to how your finance team actually works
Multi-currency and multi-entity consolidation for global or manufacturing operations
Fixed-cost delivery, scoped up front, with source code ownership

The problem
Finance team still exporting numbers from your FP&A tool into Excel to model your real business?
Paying for seats on a platform that assumes monthly recurring revenue when your revenue is project-based?
Short answer
FP&A software supports financial planning and analysis: budgeting, rolling forecasts, scenario modeling, and variance reporting against actuals. Finance teams at growing companies buy it to replace manual, spreadsheet-driven planning cycles. Off-the-shelf platforms like Pigment, Datarails, and Cube are built around SaaS and subscription revenue metrics, so companies with project-based revenue, multi-currency manufacturing margins, or other non-standard driver models often end up rebuilding the real planning logic in Excel around the tool. RaftLabs builds custom FP&A software around your actual revenue drivers: a single-purpose forecasting or budgeting tool typically runs $30,000-$70,000 over 14-18 weeks, and a full planning platform with scenario modeling and multi-entity consolidation runs $70,000-$130,000 over 18-22 weeks, at a fixed cost.
Key takeaways
Trusted by
Platforms like Pigment, Datarails, and Cube are built around subscription revenue: MRR, churn, net revenue retention. If your business runs on project-based billing, multi-currency manufacturing margins, or another non-standard driver model, that built-in logic doesn't fit, and finance teams end up modeling the real business in Excel anyway. We build the planning layer around your actual revenue drivers instead.
Capabilities
Budget and forecast logic built around the metrics that actually drive your revenue and cost, whether that's project margins, production volume, or subscription seats.
Forecast cadence built around how your team plans: monthly rolling forecasts, quarterly reforecasts, or a mix, scoped during discovery.
Side-by-side scenario comparisons so finance can model the effect of a hiring plan, a pricing change, or a currency swing before it happens.
Currency translation and entity roll-ups built for global operations and manufacturing groups with more than one reporting entity.
Plan-versus-actual reporting that pulls from your accounting system, so variance shows up automatically instead of being reassembled by hand each cycle.
Direct connections into your general ledger and ERP, so plans and forecasts are built on live data instead of a manual export.
How we work
We map your actual revenue and cost drivers, planning cadence, and reporting hierarchy. You leave with a written scope and a fixed-price quote.
We design the planning data model, the scenario structure, and the integration layer into your accounting or ERP system.
You review working software at each sprint. Forecasting, scenario modeling, and reporting components are built and tested incrementally.
The platform runs against a real planning cycle so your finance team can validate the numbers before they depend on it.
Why us
The engineers who map your revenue drivers also build the planning model. No offshore handoff after the contract is signed.
We scope the work, calculate the cost, and lock it in writing before any development starts.
A track record building financial software that connects to real accounting and ERP data, not a generic template.
No vendor lock-in after delivery. The codebase, and everything built into it, is yours.
Tell us how your revenue actually works and where the manual planning steps still are. We'll scope a fixed-cost build.

Read moreFP&A software supports financial planning and analysis work: budgeting, rolling forecasts, scenario modeling, and variance reporting that compares plan against actuals. It's used by finance teams to replace manual, spreadsheet-driven planning cycles with a shared, auditable model.
Most FP&A platforms assume subscription revenue: MRR, churn, net revenue retention. If your business runs on project-based revenue, multi-currency manufacturing margins, or another non-standard driver model, the platform's built-in logic doesn't fit, and teams end up rebuilding the real model in Excel next to the tool. Custom software builds the planning logic around your actual drivers from the start.
Yes. We build the forecast cadence and scenario structure around how your finance team actually plans, whether that's monthly rolling forecasts, quarterly reforecasts, or driver-based scenario comparisons, and we scope the exact logic during discovery.
A single-purpose forecasting or budgeting tool typically runs $30,000-$70,000 and takes 14-18 weeks. A full planning platform with scenario modeling and multi-entity consolidation runs $70,000-$130,000 over 18-22 weeks. We scope a fixed cost after discovery.
Yes. Multi-currency translation and multi-entity roll-ups are common requirements for manufacturing and global operations, and we scope the consolidation logic and reporting hierarchy during discovery.
Pigment and Datarails are strong, established platforms for companies whose planning fits a standard SaaS or subscription revenue model. Custom software makes sense when your revenue drivers, like project-based billing or manufacturing margins, don't fit that mold well. We help assess the right fit during discovery.
