The model lives in one person's head.
Every quarter, the budget is rebuilt from a file last touched six months ago. Every board meeting, the plan from the fundraising gets reconciled with actuals that live in another spreadsheet. Three people edit three copies, and when the analyst who built the model leaves, nobody dares touch it.
Layerz gives the team one model 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.
Rebuild less. Analyse more.
| 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 |
| Three people, three copies of the file | One model, several editors, every change logged |
| 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 |
| Handover to a successor is a headache | A structured model with documented assumptions anyone on the team can read |
How your team models, written down once.
Signs, units, controls, the way a variance is explained: the team's conventions live in one place and every project follows them. The budget, each entity, each scenario gets its own project with its own context. Claude reads both before it touches a number, whoever is asking.
Start from your file
Import the budget you already have, or fork a template. Layerz rebuilds it as named lines and formulas, with the checks built in.
Plug the books
Pennylane, Qonto, Stripe, DATEV, FEC or any export from your accounting tool. Map the accounts once, reuse the mapping every month.
Close and reforecast
Actuals land on their own branch, the voted budget never moves. Variance and reforecast compute. Anyone on the team can ask Claude for the commentary.
Share without explaining
The board, the CEO, the auditor open a standard .xlsx with live formulas, or a share link. Nobody needs a Layerz account to read it.
Useful from the first month.
Budget vs. actuals by cost center
A tracker the CEO can read without your commentary. Variance highlighted, narrative from the data.
Rolling forecast
Actuals for closed months, reforecast for the rest, the voted budget kept apart.
Monthly cash flow that stays current
Runway always live, no manual refresh.
Board-ready reporting pack
Assembles in an afternoon, not two days. Standard .xlsx the audit committee can open.
“If there is one domain where you want deterministic, doing the same as last month, it is finance.”
Can I start from the budget file I already have?
Yes. Import your Excel file and Layerz rebuilds it as a structured model: assumptions, formulas and the links between lines. From then on, you update assumptions, not formulas.
Which accounting tools does it connect to?
Pennylane, Qonto, Stripe, DATEV and FEC files, or any Excel export from your accounting tool. You set the mapping rules once and reuse them every month.
Who on the team needs a seat?
Only the people who edit. Viewers, commenters and share links are free on every plan.
Does Claude do the math?
No. Claude writes the structure, the Layerz engine does every calculation. Every number traces back to a formula you can open and question.
Working with a fractional CFO?
They can run their part in Layerz too, on the same model, with your team.
Layerz for fractional CFOs →Your next close in an afternoon.
Not two days.
