Variance Analysis

Understand what changed — and why — in seconds

Precanto instantly explains forecast vs actual variances — by department, driver, or account — so you can skip the spreadsheet deep dive and move straight to insight.

You can’t fix what you can’t explain

When actuals deviate from forecast, finance turns reactive. But explaining why you’re off often means tab diving, outdated models, and manual detective work.

Precanto gives you a real-time view of what changed — and why — before it derails the conversation. No spreadsheet archaeology. No delay.
