The finance analyst
that never guesses a number.
Drop your GL, expense, or budget export. Get anomalies, variance, and a cash-flow forecast in 60 seconds — every figure with the SQL behind it, so your CFO and your auditor both believe it.
Where the month goes
Finance is asked to deliver strategy with admin tools.
Surveys put it plainly: 40% of teams still handle half their financial data manually, and error-finding is the #1 monthly pain. Here's what changes.
Month-end close eaten by manual reconciliation across a dozen Excel tabs
Anomalies, duplicates, and out-of-range entries flagged in one upload
You can find the number — but not defend it when the partner or auditor asks how
Every figure shows the exact SQL behind it, plus an immutable audit log
Budget-vs-actual lives in a fragile multi-tab workbook only you understand
Variance by department with >10% swings flagged, straight from the export
What WorkLiq does for finance
Four capabilities built for the numbers you sign off
Expense & entry anomalies
Ask “which expenses spiked vs last month?” — WorkLiq flags sudden jumps, duplicate payments, round-number outliers, and unusual vendors. The tedious first-pass scrutiny, done in seconds, with the SQL shown.
Budget vs actual variance
Drop your budget and actuals. Variance by department or cost centre, sorted by size, with anything over your threshold flagged — no pivot tables, no VLOOKUP archaeology.
Cash-flow trend & forecast
Trend your inflows and outflows, then forecast next quarter with confidence intervals (ARIMA / Holt-Winters, backtested) — so you see a shortfall before it hits the bank, not after.
Audit-defensible by design
The math runs on a deterministic engine — it physically can't invent a number. Every answer carries its SQL, and a SHA-256 hash-chained log records who ran what. Built for the question “prove it.”
A worked example
Budget vs actual — the overrun, ranked, in one query.
Illustrative, on WorkLiq's built-in sample ledger — not a customer result. Your own numbers replace these the moment you upload.
SELECT department,SUM(actual) AS actual,SUM(budget) AS budget,ROUND(100.0 * (SUM(actual) - SUM(budget)) / NULLIF(SUM(budget), 0), 1) AS variance_pctFROM ledger GROUP BY departmentHAVING ABS(variance_pct) > 10 ORDER BY variance_pct DESC;
Upload one month's ledger and see.
CSV, Excel, or a Tally export. Anomalies, variance, and a forecast with the SQL shown. No account needed for the demo.
