# Budget vs. Actuals Review for SaaS Controllers with Maxio

> 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.' Purpose-built for teams running Maxio — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## 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 in Maxio

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.' Purpose-built for teams running Maxio — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Maxio Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Maxio configuration.** We map the specific Maxio objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your saas finance practice.
2. **Build on the Maxio API or agent.** Integration happens inside Maxio — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Maxio with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
