FP&A Forecasting
Done in Under
10 Minutes.
Claros turns your actuals spreadsheet into a board-ready forecast — no setup, no formulas, no training required.
No account · No setup
Who it's for
Made for the sole FP&A analyst
If you're the only finance person at a 50–500 person company, living in a homegrown Excel model you didn't build — Claros is for you. No implementation. No sales call. No training. Just upload your data and go.
Sound familiar?
Your Excel model works — but you're the only one who can run it.
Every month-end costs you an hour of debugging you can't afford.
The output needs reformatting before it can go to the CFO.

Why Claros
Enterprise FP&A tools aren't built for you
Tools like Jirav, Mosaic, Planful, and Datarails are designed for finance teams of 5+, require weeks of implementation, sales calls, and annual contracts starting at $12,000. Claros is free, takes 10 minutes, and requires no account. It's the only FP&A forecasting tool built specifically for the solo finance analyst at a growing company.
