Taxilla FP&A is a web-based financial planning and analysis platform for budgeting, forecasting, driver-based planning, and management reporting. It is intended for mid-sized and multi-entity organizations. Planning models cover revenue, expenses, and headcount, using drivers such as headcount, pricing, volumes, and inflation. Teams can compare base, upside, and downside scenarios, run rolling forecasts with actuals, and review budget-versus-actual or forecast-versus-actual results. Reporting includes drill-downs, trends, and dashboards. Standardized templates, version control, approvals, version locking, maker-checker reviews, and audit trails support budget governance. Taxilla’s Shared Ledger provides consolidated actuals without manual extraction or reloading, with real-time data refresh. The platform works across SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Dynamics. It supports multiple entities, with Essentials for up to 3, Growth up to 10, and Enterprise for 25 or more. Pricing is paid and available on request. Typical implementation is 6–8 weeks, depending on scope and integrations.
