The forecast lives in spreadsheets
Revenue, payroll, and spending sit in different systems, so the forecast is rebuilt by hand every month.

Why university finance is hard to run today
Enrollment and aid reach revenue months late
Deposits, melt, and discounting move net tuition all summer. Finance sees it at the fall close.
The close takes weeks, so cash and ratios are checked late
Days cash on hand, receivables, and covenant ratios are calculated after the month ends, when the options are fewer.
The finance model
We bring your systems, outside data, and policies together, model the domain, and compute what it runs on.
What the model enables
Forecast
Cash, 13 weeks out
Daily cash from receivables, payables, payroll, and seasonality.
Forecast
Net tuition revenue
Revenue by stream through year-end, with net tuition built from enrollment and aid.
Prediction
Year-end variance
Where each budget line will land, while there is still time to act.
Optimization
Scenarios
Margin under different enrollment, discount, and salary assumptions, side by side.
Prediction
Collections risk
Balances likely to go unpaid, so follow-up starts early.
Measurement
Covenant headroom
Forecast ratios against every covenant before the test date.
What we deploy
Applications, agents, and workflows on the model. Each one reads the model and changes it only through governed actions.
App
An app where the finance team sees the year ahead
Cash 13 weeks out, revenue and year-end forecasts, variance by department, and scenarios side by side.
Reads from the model
- Cash position
- Revenue stream
- Budget line
- Scenario
- Debt covenant
Agent
An agent that explains every variance
It answers with the transactions behind each variance and drafts collections follow-ups. The controller reviews every draft.
Reads from the model
- Budget line
- Expense line
- Receivable
- Fiscal period
Workflow
A workflow that runs the monthly close and each payment run
It works through the close and reconciliations, then matches invoices to orders and contracts. Exceptions go to accounts payable, and the controller signs off each run.
Reads from the model
- Fiscal period
- Ledger account
- Payable
- Cash position
What the finance model lets you do
How we measure
We report what a change should add, and what it actually added.
Projected value
What the model expects a change to add, set when it goes live.
Holdout
Accounts or departments that don’t get the change, compared with those that do.
Matched group
Similar departments from the same fiscal year, when a holdout isn’t possible.
Prior cycle
The same point last fiscal year, for changes that reach every department.
