Helu enables you to manage your business in a KPI-driven way. By integrating live DATEV data and the ability to upload business data from other tools, you automate your controlling, financial planning and financial analysis across all your teams.

FP&A stands for Financial Planning and Analysis. It refers to the systematic analysis of relevant corporate data from different areas such as finance, marketing and accounting. This process is used to prepare management and investor reports, cost center analyses and financial planning. With the help of specific FP&A software, planning scenarios can be created that support risk management and enable efficient strategic corporate management. FP&A contributes significantly to the transparency of costs and growth of your company.
