Armanino Expands FP&A Offering with Martus Solutions Partnership

New agreement gives mid-market finance teams access to budgeting and planning software without the cost or complexity of enterprise-scale systems

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Armanino, one of the top 20 accounting and consulting firms in the U.S., today announced a partnership with Martus Solutions, a leading cloud-based budgeting and financial planning solution built for mid-market organizations. Through the collaboration, clients can purchase Martus software and related implementation services directly through Armanino, creating a single point of contact for the technology and advisory support needed to put it to work.

The alliance addresses a common challenge for growing organizations: finance teams that have outgrown spreadsheet-based budgeting and forecasting but do not need the cost and complexity of an enterprise-scale FP&A platform. Martus provides a middle ground, giving organizations a centralized system for budgeting, forecasting, reporting and personnel planning that is designed to be accessible to finance teams across the mid-market.

Martus also connects with ERP and accounting systems already used by many Armanino clients, including Sage Intacct, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Its bidirectional integration with Sage Intacct allows budget and actuals data to flow between the two systems, reducing the need for manual uploads and helping finance teams maintain a more connected planning process.

“So many of our mid-market clients are caught between spreadsheets they’ve outgrown, and FP&A platforms designed and priced for much larger organizations,” says Megan Manrique, Senior Director and Technology Practice Lead at Armanino. “Martus gives us another option for clients that need more sophisticated budgeting and forecasting capabilities without taking on an enterprise-scale system. It allows us to better match our technology offerings to where a client is in their growth journey.”

“Technology is only part of successful financial planning and analysis. Organizations also need the right guidance to implement and use these tools effectively,” says Taylor Macdonald, CEO of Martus Solutions. “Armanino understands the finance teams we serve, the systems they rely on and the challenges they’re trying to solve. Together, we can help more organizations move beyond spreadsheets and build a planning process that’s easier to manage, more collaborative and better connected to their financial data.”

The collaboration expands Armanino’s existing lineup of FP&A technology solutions, giving the firm another option to match clients with technology based on their size, needs and existing systems. With Martus, Armanino can serve more mid-market organizations looking to move beyond spreadsheet-based planning without taking on the cost and complexity of a larger FP&A platform.
