‍

How does Pigment improve budgeting and forecasting for finance teams and CFOs?

Pigment lets you forecast more often and replan faster, so your numbers keep up with the business. The Analyst Agent monitors performance and surfaces the variances worth your attention.

That cuts the time you spend finding what changed. Your team can put that time into variance analysis that explains why it changed and what to do next.

‍

What features should FP&A software have?

Look for budgeting and forecasting, scenario planning, variance analysis, consolidation, integrations with your ERP, CRM and HR systems, role-based access, and AI that explains results. Prioritise flexibility: you should be able to change models as the business changes without a rebuild.

How does Pigment use AI for FP&A?

Pigment uses AI to speed up the analysis, modeling, and reporting behind your plans, while your team makes the decisions. The agents work on your live models, data, and governed business logic, so you keep control and traceability.

The Analyst Agent analyzes data, automates reporting, and flags risks and opportunities as they appear. The Modeler Agent turns natural-language requests into governed planning models, formulas, and Blocks. The Planner Agent, coming soon, will simulate scenarios, forecast, and recommend actions.

Pigment Frames builds the views you describe, such as executive views, scenario tools, or slide decks, on top of the live model. Frames read from and write back to Pigment in real time and inherit your existing access rights and auditability.

Pigment never uses your data to train external AI models. For more on where AI fits in day-to-day FP&A work, read our practical guide to AI in finance.
