Sage Intacct is a powerful ERP platform that provides mid-market companies with advanced capabilities in financial reporting, automation, and multi-entity consolidation. But while it excels in accounting and compliance, it’s not built to provide the deep, agile forecasting and scenario modeling that finance leaders need to make timely, confident decisions.
That’s where Dryrun comes in.
Dryrun is a best-in-class forecasting and scenario planning tool designed specifically for CFOs and finance professionals who want more visibility, flexibility, and control. When integrated with Sage Intacct, Dryrun fills the forecasting gap—transforming historical ERP data into actionable insight and enabling teams to anticipate future challenges and opportunities with precision.
Here’s a closer look at how Dryrun complements Sage Intacct to elevate your financial operations:
1. From Historical Data to Future Insight
Sage Intacct provides a comprehensive view of your company’s financial past—covering everything from revenue recognition and expense management to consolidations across multiple entities. But ERP systems are inherently backward-looking. They track what has happened, not what will happen.
Dryrun transforms this historical data into a forward-looking forecast by integrating directly with Sage Intacct. Within minutes, you can pull in your latest actuals—income, expenses, AR, AP, payroll, and more—and build dynamic forecasts tailored to your business needs. Whether you’re forecasting monthly or weekly, Dryrun ensures you’re always planning from a current, accurate baseline.
Finance teams can stop wrestling with disconnected spreadsheets and start building strategic forecasts that stay in sync with real business performance.
2. Scenario Modeling Without the Spreadsheet Headache
Finance leaders face constant uncertainty—supply chain disruptions, hiring decisions, sales pipeline fluctuations, capital investments. Modeling these variables in a traditional spreadsheet is not only time-consuming but also incredibly prone to errors and version control issues.
Dryrun eliminates these limitations by giving you an interactive, visual interface to run multiple “what-if” scenarios with speed and confidence. You can test different inputs for revenue, cost, headcount, or investment timing and immediately see the impact on cash flow, profit margins, and financial health.
Need to compare a growth scenario with a conservative case side-by-side? With Dryrun, that’s just a few clicks—not hours of spreadsheet gymnastics. This gives CFOs and FP&A teams the agility to pivot fast and present data-driven insights to leadership in real time.
3. Cash Flow Forecasting with Clarity and Control
Despite the financial firepower of Sage Intacct, cash flow forecasting can remain a blind spot—especially in businesses with irregular revenue cycles, complex payment terms, or high capital intensity.
Dryrun solves this by putting cash flow front and center. The platform enables real-time visibility into near- and mid-term cash positions, factoring in invoice schedules, AP/AR timing, financing, and revenue forecasts. You can model cash flow monthly or weekly, depending on the granularity your team requires.
This level of visibility is especially critical for companies facing lumpy revenue or operational volatility. Whether you're planning payroll, timing vendor payments, or evaluating growth investments, Dryrun gives you the clarity to act decisively and avoid surprises.
4. Multi-Entity Planning, Simplified
Sage Intacct’s multi-entity structure is one of its strongest features, allowing finance teams to manage multiple businesses, locations, or departments from a single system. However, when it comes to building consolidated forecasts across those entities—or modeling scenarios within each one—ERP systems often fall short.
Dryrun lets you consolidate financial data across entities, currencies, and departments with ease. You can drill down into individual entities to inspect granular performance or zoom out to view enterprise-wide projections. Whether you’re preparing a strategic board report or managing performance across international subsidiaries, Dryrun helps you manage complexity without losing transparency.
And because Dryrun can separate your scenario models from your accounting data, you can explore new initiatives and risk factors without disrupting your core ERP setup.
5. Time-Saving Automation and Collaboration
Building and maintaining financial models in Excel is a known time sink. Every new version introduces risk, every assumption update requires manual effort, and collaboration is clunky at best.
Dryrun dramatically accelerates the modeling process through automation. Its Auto Forecasting feature uses historical data from Sage Intacct to generate a baseline forecast instantly—mapping to last year, a trailing average, or even a recent month. From there, your team can adjust assumptions, layer in planned changes, and fine-tune the model as needed.
The platform also supports multi-user collaboration, allowing teams to build and review forecasts together in a secure, centralized workspace. No more emailing around files or second-guessing which version is current—just clear, collaborative planning that keeps everyone aligned.
6. Built for the Office of the CFO
While ERP systems are critical for compliance, auditability, and accounting workflows, they aren’t designed to provide fast answers to strategic questions. Dryrun was built specifically to serve the Office of the CFO—with tools that support high-level financial strategy, operational planning, and real-time analysis.
Whether you're a mid-market CFO managing a growing portfolio of businesses or a fractional CFO advising clients across industries, Dryrun empowers you to deliver deeper insights, faster forecasts, and greater strategic impact. You can prepare presentations for leadership, explore potential risks, and plan for multiple futures—all in a tool designed to match the real-world complexity of your role.
Final Thought: Extend Your ERP’s Strategic Reach with Dryrun
Sage Intacct is a foundational system for accounting and financial management—but it’s only part of the picture. By layering Dryrun on top of Sage Intacct, finance leaders gain the forecasting power, modeling flexibility, and scenario planning they need to lead with clarity and confidence.
Dryrun doesn’t replace your ERP. It completes it—helping you bridge the gap between historical data and future planning, all while saving your team hours every week and reducing risk.
