The challenge
The budget is in one place. The plan it pays for is in another.
Finance teams know the numbers well. What is harder to see is how the strategic priorities behind those numbers are tracking.
What gets in the way
Budget and plan apart
The budget lives in the ledger, and the strategy lives in a slide deck.
Variances found late
A gap against budget shows up at month-end, weeks after it started.
Numbers copied by hand
Financial results are retyped into the plan and the board pack.
Spend without a line of sight
Strategic projects spend money, but their progress is reported somewhere else.
How GPS helps
Finance and strategy in the same view.
GPS for the CFO
Budgets and actuals from Xero
Connect Xero to bring budgets and actuals into GPS. The ledger syncs daily, and variance alerts show when results drift from the budget.
Financial goals measured against pace
Map KPIs to the Xero accounts behind them. Each financial objective shows its progress against where it should be today, with its forecast beside it.
A financial and forecast report
One of the six report types puts financial goals and the forecast next to the plan they fund, written from live data.
The gap, in the board pack
Charts compare each goal’s actual progress with where it should be, ready for the board or the owners.

Questions
Questions CFOs ask.
Which finance systems does GPS connect to?
Xero, for budgets, actuals and variances. Other systems can send values into GPS through the API. See integrations.
How often do the numbers update?
The Xero ledger syncs daily.
Can we keep financial goals private?
Yes. Goals and objectives can be kept private to the people who need them, and access is set by role.
How is GPS priced?
Pricing is set for each organisation, based on its size, rollout and the support it wants. Every plan includes unlimited users, ANI, implementation and training, and we confirm the price in writing. See how pricing works.
