The department

You keep the head. Beacon is the department under them.

Across the company, Beacon staffs the layer under your heads of function. This page zooms into one of them. Finance is the worked example — the same holds for revenue operations, customer success, growth, capital and workforce.

The work nobody owns

It was never anyone’s job. So it never got done.

The monthly model
Rebuilt by hand, from exports out of three tools.
The catch
It is finished on the 12th, and the month it describes ended on the 1st.
The variance pack
Says which numbers moved, and by how much.
The catch
A segment behind plan costs $380k to fix in week three, and $1.4M in week twelve.
The customer base
Reviewed as three segments, because three people cannot read 2,935 accounts.
The catch
48 accounts start slipping in February. You see it in October, and 29 have gone.
$3.7M
None of that is a people problem. Those three cost about $3.7M in a single year, and every one of them was visible months earlier. Nobody looked, because looking every week is not a job anyone has.
How it gets staffed

You connect a source. The department starts working.

No implementation project, no data team, no quarter of onboarding before anything is useful. The roles come online against your own numbers in the first week.

01You connect a sourceBilling, the CRM, the ledger. You sign in to each one in its own tool — Beacon never asks you for a password.
02The roles come onlineEvery analytical seat under that head of function starts working the same week, on your figures rather than a template.
03Your head of function still runs itBeacon prepares, a person approves, and every sealed figure names both. Nothing leaves on Beacon’s own authority.
The seats

Eleven roles under your head of finance. All eleven, staffed.

Every analytical role that reports to a head of finance — the whole of finance and planning, and the whole of data and reporting. Beacon fills all eleven on the day you connect a source.

Illustrative throughout, on the worked company used across this site — $34M in recurring revenue, 2,935 customers, 200 people. Your accountants keep the books; Beacon does no journal entries, no close, no filings and no tax advice.

The output

One model behind every number the department reports.

The forecast, the metrics, the segments and the cash all read from the same place — so the board pack and the sales meeting quote the same figure, every time.

The difference

Software waits to be opened. Beacon works the plan.

Every finance tool on the market can draw that chart. The question is what happens at two in the morning when the line starts to bend.

The first week

The department arrives staffed. The judgement stays yours.

For you

Day one
A team on day one.

No job posting, no shortlist, no three months before anyone knows your numbers. It starts the week you connect a source.

For your team

14 of 17
Your analysts stop building spreadsheets.

The exports, the reconciling and the rebuilding arrive done. They spend the week answering questions instead of assembling the file.

For your board

Every figure
The board pack is ready before you ask for it.

Not the week before the meeting. Every figure carries its source and the moment it was sealed.
