Board-ready ARR and runway, without the monthly rebuild
Planir holds ARR, headcount and cash in one model fed from the systems you already bill and pay from, so the board pack is refreshed rather than reassembled and the plan behind it is the same plan finance is running.
What software finance teams are dealing with
Three patterns that show up in nearly every funded technology group we talk to.
The board pack is reassembled every month
ARR comes from billing, headcount from the HR system, cash from the bank, and somebody spends a week joining them in a spreadsheet. The pack is accurate on the day it ships and stale the day after.
Headcount is planned somewhere the P&L cannot see
The hiring plan lives in its own file. Moving a start date changes payroll, capitalised development and runway, and none of that updates until someone rebuilds the model by hand.
Deferred revenue sits outside the forecast
Recognition schedules are maintained separately from the plan, so billings, recognised revenue and cash tell three different stories and the reconciliation between them is a monthly ritual.
What Planir does for a technology group
Revenue, people and cash in one model, so a change to any of them shows up in the other two.
ARR roll-forward from live billing data
New, expansion, contraction and churn are built from the billing system each cycle rather than typed in, so the ARR bridge the board sees reconciles to what was actually invoiced. Net revenue retention and cohort views come from the same model, not a separate analysis.
See budgeting and planningA headcount plan that drives the P&L
Roles, start dates and fully loaded cost sit in the model, so moving a hire forward a quarter moves payroll, capitalised development and runway in the same pass. Hiring scenarios can be run before they are committed rather than explained afterwards.

Groups that bill through more than one entity consolidate into one governed model with intercompany charges eliminated and currency translated on the basis your auditors expect. The group number and the entity behind it stay connected.

The ARR bridge, the cash view and the KPI page your investors ask for are built once and refreshed each cycle. Planir reads from and writes back to Excel, Word and PowerPoint, so the update stays linked to the model instead of being rebuilt from a fresh export.
