Picture

​Perform instant consolidations. Develop more accurate Budgets. Understand Revenue, Costs and Profitability. SAS Financial Management delivers enterprise Planning, Budgeting, Consolidation and Reporting in one integrated solution. A proprietary calculation engine and accounting logic let you consolidate Planning and historical information on demand - to ensure that decision makers and regulatory agencies always have the latest information.

SAS Financial Management (FM), is designed to meet the core needs of the Finance function for Financial Consolidation, Budgeting, Planning, Forecasting and Predictive Analytics. However, it sits in the context of a wider technology platform (SAS 9 Business Intelligence) and applications architecture (SAS Financial Intelligence) that allows businesses to pursue a financial systems strategy, safe in the knowledge that it can contribute to a broader performance management, compliance or risk management environment at a later date, if required.
