Platforms / Planning
Your plan is out of date the day it’s finished.
Most planning still runs on spreadsheets that are rebuilt every cycle. Version control turns into guesswork, actuals have to be copied in by hand, and testing a single “what if” takes days. By the time the numbers are ready, the decision has often already been made.

Adaptive from Workday
A flexible planning platform for budgeting, forecasting, and workforce planning, built for finance teams to own.
What good looks like.
One connected model for budgets, forecasts, and headcount.
Actuals that flow in automatically, so forecasts reflect what’s actually happening.
Scenarios in minutes, not days, so you can test a decision before making it.
A continuous planning rhythm, not a once-a-year exercise.
Connected across your back office.
Planning works best when it draws on real data. Connected to your financials and HR, your plan reflects actual results and actual headcount, not last month’s export.
How APX helps.
Activation
We start from a model that’s already built, so your team focuses on bringing in your data and assumptions instead of designing from scratch.
Managed back office
After go-live, we maintain your model and update it as your business and planning needs change, with flexible managed service levels.
Fractional finance leadership
We can bring FP&A and CFO-level experience to help shape your planning process, not just the system behind it.
Options
As your needs grow, you can add capabilities on the same platform without starting a new project.
