FP&A on Microsoft Fabric
Budgets, forecasts and board packs from your ERP, in one governed model.
Seizmic connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and other ERPs such as SYSPRO, Sage, SAP and NetSuite, runs your budget and forecast cycles, and produces the management statements your board reads. Wingman, our AI assistant, answers questions about the numbers in plain English, with the source behind every answer. And through MCP, the same governed numbers are available inside Claude and Microsoft Copilot.

and other ERPsWhat Seizmic does
One platform for the three jobs finance does every month
Most FP&A tools solve one of these and leave you exporting to Excel for the rest. Seizmic does all three from the same model, so the budget, the report and the answer always agree.
Plan
Budget and forecast in one place
Driver-based budgets, rolling forecast versions, volume and price planning by customer, and contributor commentary with approval status.
Report
Management packs that build themselves
Income, manufacturing and admin statements by entity or customer, against budget, forecast and prior year. Delivered in Power BI, Excel or Word.
Ask
Answers in Claude, Copilot or Wingman
Ask in the AI assistant your team already uses. Every answer reads the same governed model as your reports, so it traces back to a ledger line.
How Seizmic helps FP&A teams
Everything an FP&A team does, in one platform
From the annual budget to the board pack, from variance commentary to scenario planning, Seizmic gives the finance team one governed model to work from, and the tools to do each job faster.
01
Budgeting
Budgets by business unit, cost center and GL account, collected in one place and rated for commentary quality before sign-off.
02
Forecasting
Lock in actuals, update the remaining months and keep every forecast version, side by side.
03
Variance analysis
Variances already split into volume, price, mix and rate, with commentary drafted for review.
04
Management reporting
Month-end and board packs that build themselves when the ledger closes.
05
Financial modeling and scenario planning
Ask the question in Claude or Copilot and get the scenario, worked from your governed forecast.
06
Strategic and long-range planning
Multi-year plans that start from the same model as the budget and the actuals.
07
Decision support
Profitability and business cases built on governed numbers, not exported spreadsheets.
08
Performance management
KPIs and operational drivers tracked in the same model as the money.
09
Cash flow and working capital planning
A cash view that always ties to the income statement and balance sheet.
10
Business partnering
Less time assembling numbers, more time in the conversation.
The center of your FP&A practice
Every FP&A tool your team uses, working from one model
Financial planning and analysis is more than a budget once a year. It is a monthly rhythm of closing, reporting, explaining, reforecasting and advising the business. Seizmic sits at the center of that rhythm: it takes in the ledger and the plans, holds them in one governed finance model, and serves every report, workbook and AI answer from it.
One version of the truth
The budget, the board pack and the AI answer read the same numbers, so meetings are about decisions, not about whose spreadsheet is right.
Tools your team already knows
No new interface to learn for most users. Excel, Word, Power BI, Teams and Claude stay the front end; Seizmic becomes the engine behind them.
Owned by finance
Report layouts, mappings and forecast versions are finance decisions, held in the model, not buried in formulas only one analyst understands.
The FP&A cycle
Seizmic supports every stage of the cycle
The best FP&A teams run a continuous loop: close the books, explain the result, update the outlook, plan ahead and test the options. Here is what each stage looks like with Seizmic at the center.
1
Close and consolidate
Actuals arrive from the ledger, mapped to a group chart of accounts across companies and divisions.
Daily loads from Business Central or your ERP, reconciled to the trial balance automatically.
2
Report and explain
Management statements against budget, forecast and prior year, with the story behind every material variance.
Packs ready when the ledger closes; variances split into volume, price, mix and rate.
3
Reforecast
Lock in actuals, update the remaining months and see how the year will land.
Rolling versions such as 3+9, 7+5 and 8+4, each stored and comparable side by side.
4
Plan and budget
Build next year from drivers: customers, items, volumes, prices and cost centers.
Manager inputs collected with commentary, rated for quality and approved in one place.
5
Model scenarios
Test what happens if volumes drop, material costs rise or a customer program slips.
What-if, sensitivity and goal seek through Claude or Copilot, on governed figures.
6
Decide and communicate
Give the exco and board a clear view of performance, risks and options.
Board reports in Word, detail in Excel, live in Power BI, all from the same model.

Questions
Things finance leaders ask us first
Do we need to replace our ERP?
No. Seizmic reads from your ERP and leaves it unchanged. We support Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SYSPRO, Sage, SAP and Oracle NetSuite as standard, connect to other ERPs on request, and load budget inputs from Excel templates where needed.
We run Business Central. How deep does the connection go?
Beyond the general ledger. Seizmic loads G/L entries with their dimensions, sales by customer and item, inventory, budgets and customer and vendor ledger entries from Business Central, so statements, budgets and margin analysis work at dimension, customer and item level. See Business Central integration.
Where does our data live?
In a Microsoft Fabric data warehouse on Azure. [Confirm: hosted in the client's own Microsoft tenant or in Seizmic's tenant, and in which region.] See the Trust center for detail.
How much does it cost?
You start with a fixed-fee pilot, which is credited toward an annual subscription priced by entities and modules. See Pricing for what each plan includes.
Do we have to use Power BI?
Power BI gives you the live dashboards, but many finance teams mainly use the Excel and Word packs Seizmic produces. Both read from the same model, so the numbers match.
Can we use Seizmic from Claude or Microsoft Copilot?
Yes. Seizmic includes an MCP connector, so Claude and Copilot (through Copilot Studio) can query your finance model directly. Users sign in with Microsoft, access is read-only, and they see only the data they are permitted to see. How it works.
What does Wingman do with our data?
Wingman answers questions using your Seizmic model and only shows data the user is permitted to see. Your data is not used to train AI models. [Confirm model provider and logging policy.]
Who is behind Seizmic?
Seizmic is the FP&A product of TrueNorth Group, a data and AI consultancy working across South Africa and the United States, and a Microsoft and Anthropic partner. Meet the team.
