Frequently Asked Questions

Can Adam also do liquidity planning?

Yes, liquidity planning is part of Adam's feature set. However, the focus is on overall financial planning, not specifically on real-time cash flow with bank connectivity.

Do I need FP&A or is liquidity planning enough?

That depends on your requirements. If you primarily want to know how your liquidity looks in the coming weeks and months, a cash flow tool is sufficient. If you also need to create budgets, plan workforce costs, and run comprehensive budget-to-actual comparisons, an FP&A platform makes sense.

Note: finban offers native accounting integrations (lexoffice, sevDesk, and more) as well as CRM integrations. DATEV integration is coming soon.
