# Budget vs. Actuals Review for SaaS Controllers

> AI builds the BvA view directly from NetSuite, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.'

## The Problem

Monthly SaaS Finance BvA review is a ritual: open 12 tabs in NetSuite, copy into Excel, highlight variances, guess at causes.

## What We Build

AI builds the BvA view directly from NetSuite, traces each over-threshold variance to the GL line and transaction, and drafts commentary — the meeting starts at 'what do we do' not 'what happened.'

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current budget vs. actuals review process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
