The pain is real—and shared
The chaos may start in marketing—but it ends on your desk. Finance is held
accountable for budget discipline and forecasting accuracy. And when
marketing’s spreadsheets can’t keep up, you’re left cleaning up the mess:
Unspent
budgets
that signal weakness
to the CFO
Messy
spreadsheets
prone to errors and
version issues
Incorrect GL
codes
that need to be
reclassified
Delayed
close
from late, manual
updates
No clear line
to ROI
just vague metrics
and attribution fluff
Same budget, two
very different views.
Marketing plans by campaign. Finance tracks by GL code. And when there’s no system to bridge the gap, the result is manual updates, ROI confusion, and reclassification chaos.
