What is Jirav?
Jirav is a financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform that helps finance teams build budgets, forecasts and financial models without complex spreadsheets. It connects directly to accounting software, CRM and payroll systems to pull real data into financial models, then uses driver-based forecasting to project future performance based on operational metrics rather than just historical trends.
For growing businesses and finance teams that have outgrown spreadsheet-based budgeting but aren't ready for enterprise FP&A software, Jirav provides scenario planning, dashboards and reporting that update automatically as actual data flows in — reducing the monthly manual reconciliation work traditional budgeting requires.
