Powering Sustainable Growth & Maximizing Business Value
Real-Time Insights for Smarter Decisions
Success in business starts with a clear, timely understanding of the present and future. When every stakeholder shares the same insights, alignment and strategic execution become effortless.
From Planning to Execution—With Precision
Effective management requires the right level of detail—not too broad, not too granular. Gain deeper insights, develop convincing strategies, and track KPIs to ensure execution leads to measurable success.
Strengthening Stakeholder Alignment
In today’s fast-changing landscape, M&A activity is accelerating, and stakeholder alignment is more critical than ever. Seamless information sharing across employees, shareholders, partners, and society builds trust and drives value.
Backed by two decades of expertise,
we deliver solutions that create a real-time business compass for sustained corporate growth.
Comprehensive Financial Reporting—Seamlessly Powered by Excel
Sactona eliminates common business management challenges, enabling faster, more informed decisions with real-time, accurate insights tailored to each organization’s needs.
Executives face countless decisions daily, with full accountability to employees, customers, partners, and shareholders. As businesses expand through new initiatives, market growth, and M&A, the demand for timely, precise insights has never been greater. Leaders need instant, scenario-driven visibility from multiple angles, but the reality is often far from ideal:
Reports arrive as endless spreadsheets, scattered across multiple sheets.
Simple questions take days to answer.
Requests for different data perspectives are met with, “That’s not easily available”.
Numbers just don’t add up.
Meanwhile, FP&A and finance teams, despite leveraging ERP and other internal systems, face relentless challenges:
Excel crashes when consolidating massive spreadsheets. Cutting files down manually leads to copy-paste errors and constant rework.
Organizational restructure that was not anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year occurs. The work of replacing numbers is huge. Want to limit the scope of work to adjust in the shortest possible time, but we don’t want to stop monitoring the chronological changes.
Adding new budget categories mid-process requires replacing all distributed files, causing confusion and frustration.
Data entry mistakes go unnoticed, and response times are slow when issues arise.
Multiple revisions result in outdated versions mistakenly submitted as final reports.
Business departments manage numbers using a different data granularity from the budget sheet distributed by the corporate. Therefore, posting all the data on the budget entry sheet becomes time-consuling.
Off-the-shelf solutions don’t fit—standard templates clash with long-established business practices.
Cost categories in accounting vs budgeting don’t match, requiring manual reconciliation every month.
Creating executive reports leaves no time for real analysis and strategy development.
Leadership demands faster, more detailed reports—while insisting on less overtime and deeper insights.
Budgeting, variance analysis, and strategic planning shouldn’t be a battle against outdated processes. With Sactona, finance teams can break free from manual inefficiencies and focus on real business impact—delivering timely, data-driven decisions that drive sustainable growth.
