Manual Close & Reporting Burden
Problem: Finance teams spend weeks producing consolidated reports.
Solution: Calumo on Azure automates consolidations, dashboards & reconciliations. Calumo, using a cube-based approach, naturally provides consolidations at any level.
Outcome: Consolidated Reporting is simply available, dynamic and interactive. Periodic reporting is delivered with full transparency in minutes.
Forecasting & Planning Pain
Problem: Excel-dependent budgets take months; scenario modelling is manual and slow.
Solution: 3-way rolling forecasts with driver-based planning in Calumo.
Outcome: Faster planning cycles with more reliable data for decision making. Annual budget now based on rolling forecast.
Inconsistent Data Across Systems
Problem: Disparate systems and spreadsheets lead to confusion and a lack of trust.
Solution: A single trusted Finance Data Warehouse that integrates GLs, HR, and operational sources.
Outcome: One version of truth for executives and operational leaders owned by Finance and supported by Finance IT specialists.
Challenges Unique to Your Business
Problem: As businesses grow, bespoke Excel models can become slow, fragile, and difficult to manage. Processes such as allocations, commission calculations, disconnected reporting, and project visibility can outgrow spreadsheets and start creating risk.
Solution: Brydens BI helps finance teams move these processes into governed systems built for reporting, planning, automation, and integrated finance data.
Outcome: Better control, faster turnaround, and more reliable insight for decision-making. Read: When Complex Finance Processes Need More Than Excel

Leverage the full capabilities of CALUMO
CALUMO brings together data from multiple internal and external sources. It allows us to forecast workloads and enhances the quality and relevance of our Finance and Business reporting… a win for us and our clients.

Save time, boost analysis, and remove ‘boring’ work.
Data that had been difficult to consolidate, while accounting for currency is now, simply available and correct. And because Calumo connects directly to our source system it’s real-time
CFO, ASX Listed Client
Push the Boundaries.
Our monthly cost allocation process was complex, time consuming and slow. We discussed with Brydens BI who not only understood it, they automated it for our next month end, with a nice interface for us to manage. What took two days each month end, is now always on.

Adopt 3-Way Rolling Forecasts
We have transitioned from a slow, painful annual budget process to a monthly rolling forecast with direct links from our Employee System, Online Revenue models and a reporting App used by the Executive. Our Budget is nearly done before we start.
Head of Finance, High Growth Start Up
“One of my favourite things about the Calumo platform is the ease of use. You always worry about custom builds, but in this instance, it was just building in our own processes and reports, so that flexibility was amazing. The team know finance, very refreshing. They were able to take what we were already doing, speed it up and automate it. That was several years ago, and the same people from our initial meeting are just a call, email or slack away. At one stage we wanted to incorporate data from our internal Data Warehouse… no problem at all.”
