Budget vs. Actuals Review for Healthcare Controllers with Excel
Run budget vs. actuals review on autopilot inside Excel.
The Problem
Monthly Provider Finance BvA review is a ritual: open 12 tabs in Workday, copy into Excel, highlight variances, guess at causes.
What We Build in Excel
AI builds the BvA view directly from Workday, 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.' Purpose-built for teams running Excel — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Excel Integration Approach
Audit your Excel configuration
We map the specific Excel objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your provider finance practice.
Build on the Excel API or agent
Integration happens inside Excel — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Excel with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
