Finance Use Cases
2 mins
Dobbin runs actual calculations on your spreadsheets, querying the data directly instead of estimating from patterns. The number comes back computed, then explained, because Dobbin knows the projects and decisions that produced it.
The numbers feed back in too: every close teaches it more about how the business runs.
How Finance Teams Use Dobbin | |
End the analysis with a decision | A growth consultancy had Dobbin analyze industry trends and build a deck ending in a clear kill-or-invest matrix. Dobbin could make the call because it knew the firm's position and priorities, not just the market. |
|---|---|
Explain the variance, not just find it | A SaaS company uploaded its budget and latest actuals, and Dobbin ran the top variances with an explanation for each, connecting the gaps to the projects that caused them. The finance team spent its time with department heads on plans, not on assembling numbers. |
Model the next quarter's cash flow | A services firm gave Dobbin its historical data and assumptions and got back a quarterly cash flow projection, calculated directly from the underlying figures. |
Draft the investor update | Dobbin synthesized a startup's performance into the investor update narrative, connecting the numbers to the decisions behind them, in the voice the founders use with their board. |
Know what you’re signing | A finance team uploaded vendor contracts and had Dobbin extract payment dates, renewal clauses and liabilities, read against how the company operates, flagging the terms that would bite. |
