Financial modelling software - and the team to run it

Build your numbers in the software banks and investors already use.

Powdr is financial modelling software used by banks, investors and accountants. If you haven’t got a finance team to run it, we’ll be yours - a CFO, a finance director and an analyst, from a bench of over 20.

Already have a finance team? See the software on its own.

Why we exist

We got tired of watching good businesses make bad decisions.

Not because the people running them weren’t capable. Because nobody could give them numbers they could trust. We watched companies walk into banks with forecasts that fell apart under the first hard question, and lose funding they should have won.

So we built the software to fix it. Banks, investors, accountants and in-house finance teams use it now - they pay for it, and they review the models their own clients build in it.

Then we learned something else. For most SMEs the problem was never only the software. It was not having anyone to run it. So we built the other half too.

That is what Total Finance means. The whole finance function - our software, our people, or both.

The problem and how we fix it

Your numbers can’t answer the question in front of you.

Finance team or no finance team, the same thing goes wrong: the model is out of date the moment it is finished, and the answer a bank, an investor or a board actually asked for takes days to produce.

How it shows up

The month runs you

  • The model gets rebuilt from memory instead of refreshed from your actuals
  • Consolidating a group means manual eliminations in a side spreadsheet
  • A scenario takes days, so the question gets answered after the decision
  • Senior hours disappear into reconciliation rather than analysis
  • Stakeholders get a report that doesn’t tell them what they asked
The Powdr answer

One platform. The month runs itself.

  • Connect your ledger and the model builds itself from your actuals - £50 a month
  • Multiple entities consolidate into one group view, even on different accounting systems
  • Change an assumption once; P&L, balance sheet and cash flow all follow
  • Powdr automates the admin, so those senior hours go back into working on the business
  • Built alongside banks and investors, so your reports show them exactly what they want to see
Two ways to use Powdr

Have us run it. Or run it yourself.

Same platform either way. The only question is who does the work.

Do it yourself

The software on its own

£50 a month. For CFOs, finance directors and accountants who already know what they’re doing.

  • Connect Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 or FreeAgent and a model builds itself from your actuals
  • Entities on different ledgers? Sage in one company, Xero in another - consolidated anyway, with no migration project first
  • Powdr AI guides the assumptions, mapping and forecasting rules
  • Powdr Academy teaches you to build a model that stands up to scrutiny
  • Change an assumption once; P&L, balance sheet and cash flow follow

£50 per company, per connection. No sales call. Also on the Xero App Store.

Somewhere in between? Run the platform yourself and bring us in for the heavy quarters - a raise, a refinance, a budget cycle.
