Aleph

Enhances spreadsheets for financial planning teams

About Aleph

Aleph enhances the financial planning and analysis (FP&A) process by improving the functionality of spreadsheets, which are widely used by finance teams. Instead of replacing Excel with new web-based tools, Aleph integrates advanced features into the familiar spreadsheet environment. This allows finance professionals to continue using a tool they are comfortable with while gaining access to real-time data integration, automated reporting, and collaborative capabilities. Unlike traditional FP&A solutions that require users to learn new systems, Aleph's approach minimizes the learning curve and maximizes productivity. The company operates on a subscription-based model, providing continuous updates and improvements to its software, which helps finance teams streamline their budgeting and forecasting tasks. Aleph's goal is to empower finance teams to work more efficiently and effectively by supercharging the spreadsheets they already rely on.
