Everything Beacon does runs on one set of numbers

One engine computes your numbers once, from records you already keep. The growth target, the capacity to reach it, the capital it needs and every agent you run all read the same figures. It is why the rest of Beacon can be believed.

Two views, one engine

The CEO and CFO finally read one company

Same figures, same plan, two depths of read. Neither of you is working from a different version of the business.

One engine. Two depths of read. Neither of you is reconciling anything.

Illustrative. The outside view runs on the same engine — how you compare to companies your size.

What it replacesGoes
Planning and board-reporting tools, and the executive BI you assemble packs in.
The planning spreadsheets, and the reconciliation week they create.
What it never touchesStays
Accounting, billing, CRM, HR, audit and tax stay exactly where they are.
Beacon reads them. Your systems keep their own names and nothing in them is changed.

Planning and budgeting

You set the growth target once and the budget follows

The target, the budget behind it and the forecast against it are one object. Set the growth target and Beacon builds the budget underneath it, splits it across the revenue lines, and puts a name against every one — some your people, some Beacon.

No budget to rebuild and no plan to reconcile against it — and every dollar of it has a name against it from the day you set the target.

Illustrative names. How targets and budgets are set · how Beacon staffs a function.

Forecasting

The forecast updates itself every working day

Marketing, sales, customer and finance stop forecasting separately. It is one forecast, recomputed off what actually happened, with its confidence stated — no quarterly rebuild and no month-end refresh.

Metrics and analytics

Every SaaS metric you report is already computed

Growth, retention, efficiency and cash — live from your billing, CRM and ledger, each on its published definition. There is no analytics layer left to buy.

Board and leadership reporting

The board pack assembles itself from the same numbers

Not a deck to assemble — a live pack to open. Every section is already current, and every figure in it is the one the company already ran on.

Every variance, traced to cash

Cash and runway move as the forecast moves

When burn shifts, Beacon traces the change to its drivers — so a shorter runway points at the lever that moved it, not at a mystery.

Ask Beacon

Ask any number and see where it came from

Every figure above is one question away, in plain words, from any tool you already work in. The answer arrives with its receipts, and Beacon never invents a number.

Beacon.Ask Beacon
Are we still on track for the March round at the numbers we promised?
Yes. Q1 closes at $40.1M, $100k ahead of plan, and the run-rate at signing holds at about $41M.
