Controller / Close Team
From actuals to annotated — same day.
Finwren runs the attribution pass the same session the actuals are locked. Driver labels at the line-item level, exportable for the close documentation package. The gap between "books closed" and "variance explained" closes to hours, not days.
The problem
Books closed is not variance explained
The controller reconciles accounts, locks the period, and verifies the trial balance. The close is clean. But leadership's first question is "what moved and why" — not "are the books closed." That attribution work takes another 1-2 days after the close sign-off, often by the same team that just finished reconciliation.
How Finwren helps
Attribution in the same session as period lock
Once the actuals are locked, upload the export. For a standard P&L with 50-200 accounts, the attribution pass completes in under 60 seconds. Driver labels appear at the account level. The close documentation includes the variance map alongside the verified actuals — same session, not a follow-on task for next week.
What Finwren does for Controller / Close Teams
Actuals Ingestion
Upload the ERP export or Excel file the moment close is complete. Finwren starts the attribution pass immediately.
Line-Item Variance Map
Every account that moved versus budget receives a driver label. The map is exportable for the close file.
Close Checklist Integration
Tie variance status to your existing close checklist — flag which items are explained, which need follow-up.
Multi-Source Reads
Pull from multiple ERPs or entity exports in one session. Finwren handles the consolidation attribution.
Same-Day Attribution
Actuals land, attribution is complete same day. No 48-hour pivot cycle before the variance story is known.
Close Documentation Output
Driver labels and variance summaries are structured and exportable — formatted for the close documentation package. The variance attribution joins the close file, not a separate informal spreadsheet.
