Ask a question. Get the answer.
No pivot tables, no waiting on FP&A. Ask in plain language and Autessa runs the analysis against your live numbers — with sources cited.
The problem
The answer is in the data. Getting it out is the slow part.
A one-off question — "why did marketing spend jump?" — means building a pivot table or queuing behind the FP&A team. The answer is in the data, but getting it out is slow.
Ask your numbers a question and see the answer.
Book a 30-minute demo and we'll show it live, then a free pilot on your own data.
The solution
Plain-language questions. Answers grounded in your ledgers.
Skip the pivot tables. Ask in plain language and Autessa runs the analysis against your live numbers, grounded in your data and never made up. Every figure is computed live from your ledgers with the source rows cited, so you can trust the answer and defend it in a board meeting.
In plain language
Ask the way you would ask a colleague — no pivot tables, no query syntax, no queue behind FP&A. Autessa runs the analysis against your live numbers and answers in seconds.
Computed live, sources cited
Every figure is computed live from your ledgers and never made up, with the source rows cited, so you can verify the answer and take it into a board meeting.
How it fits
A question, an answer, and the rows behind it.
Autessa reads your live ledgers, runs the analysis your question implies, and returns the figure with its sources attached. There is nothing to model in advance and no report to wait on.
Because every figure is computed live and cited, you can trace it back to the ledger rather than trust it on faith.
There are no pivot tables to build and no waiting on the FP&A team, so a one-off question stops being a project.
Questions finance teams ask
Straight answers before you book.
Can I trust the answers?+
Every figure is computed live from your ledgers with the source rows cited, never made up. Because the answer is grounded in your data and shows its sources, you can verify it and defend it in a board meeting.
Do I need to know how to write queries?+
No. You ask in plain language and Autessa runs the analysis. There are no pivot tables to build and no waiting on the FP&A team for a one-off question.
What kinds of questions can I ask?+
The one-off questions you would otherwise build a pivot table for: why marketing spend jumped, which three vendors cost the most this year, what runway looks like if you hire four engineers. Autessa runs the analysis against your live numbers and answers in seconds.
How do I know the answer is right?+
Every figure is computed live from your ledgers and never made up, and the source rows are cited alongside it. You can trace the answer back to the underlying transactions, so you can verify it rather than trust it on faith.
Can it show the work behind a number?+
Yes. When Autessa says marketing rose $41K driven by a one-off Northwind campaign, it cites the rows behind that figure, so you can drill into the actual transactions rather than taking the summary at face value.
Can the whole team use it, or just finance?+
Because questions are asked in plain language with no query syntax, anyone who needs an answer can ask, instead of queuing behind the FP&A team. The answer is still computed from your real ledgers and cited, so it is trustworthy whoever asks.
