Build financial models that hold up under board scrutiny, without rebuilding from scratch every quarter. Every figure traceable, every scenario ready to export.
No credit card · .xlsx export always free · No AI training on your data
Every quarter, you rebuild a budget from a file you last touched six months ago. Every board meeting, you reconcile the business plan from the fundraising with the actuals that lived in a different spreadsheet. Every cash crunch question from the CEO lands when you're mid-way through another priority.
The time you spend rebuilding and reconciling is time you don't spend on the analysis that actually matters.
Layerz gives you a model structure that persists. Build the logic once. When actuals come in, the variances are already computed. When the CEO asks for three scenarios before Friday, you run them in an afternoon, not a week.
| Today | With Layerz |
|---|---|
| Rebuild the budget file every quarter | Define the structure once: update assumptions, not formulas |
| Business plan and actuals in separate files | Same model: plan, actuals and variance in one structure |
| Scenarios mean copying the file and editing | Scenarios on a shared structure: clean, independent, exportable |
| Board pack is a manual assembly | Actuals import directly: reporting is a refresh, not a rebuild |
| Audit trail exists in no one's memory | Every change logged with a timestamp, defensible in any board review |
| Handover to a successor is a headache | A structured model with documented assumptions that someone else can read |
Describe the model to Claude in plain English: revenue drivers, cost lines, headcount, financing. Claude calls the Layerz MCP to build the typed structure, formulas, and dependencies.
When the month closes, hand Claude the accounting export or bank statements. Variances against the budget compute automatically, with no manual reconciliation between files.
Ask Claude for an upside, a stress, a financing tweak. Each scenario is a branch of the shared structure. Export any one as a clean .xlsx.
Tell Claude to export. Your board, your CEO, your investor opens a standard spreadsheet. They don't need a guide to read it.

When your time is split across priorities, the question is not whether you can build a good model. It is whether you can afford to rebuild it every time the assumptions change.
The recurring close, monthly or quarterly, is the highest-leverage operation you run. The faster it runs, the more time you have for the work the board actually wants from you: scenario analysis, financing decisions, board preparation.
Layerz does not replace your judgment. It eliminates the mechanical work that sits between your judgment and the output.
A cash flow model that updates when actuals come in: runway always live, no manual refresh.
A tracker your CEO can read without your commentary. Variance highlighted, narrative comes from the data.
Base, upside and downside as separate scenarios, ready for the next fundraising or bank review.
A board pack that assembles in an afternoon, not two days. Standard .xlsx the audit committee can open.
One model, every client. Build your standard model once, fork it for each new client, plug in their actuals. Free as long as you're the only editor.
