Spreadsheets used to feel unreal. Throughout the 1980s, finance was at the forefront of business innovation, pioneering the digital era with the advent of the earliest spreadsheet applications. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, finance teams crunched numbers faster than ever, with their tools becoming indispensable seemingly overnight. However, the innovation of spreadsheets, which forever changed the business world, has proven to be a double-edged sword. While other departments have continued innovating, most finance teams have remained stuck, relying on the tools they used in the previous century. It’s as if we’ve woken up to the realization that finance feels outdated. Were spreadsheets too good for their own good, ultimately freezing innovation? With Francis, we’re bringing mastery back to finance, reimagining financial planning by merging the timeless spreadsheet interface with cutting-edge features for connectivity, collaboration, and deeply embedded FP&A capabilities. Francis isn’t a goodbye to spreadsheets; it’s an evolution of one of the most incredible pieces of software ever developed. We’re designing for finance professionals, creating a tool that elevates the familiar into something extraordinary. Because at Francis, we believe in the relentless pursuit of mastery, and it’s time for finance to regain the throne and once again lead the way in innovation.
