Spreadsheets Record Data. CentSight Understands It.

The Problem with Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are the default financial tool for every growing business. They're familiar, flexible, and free. But they have a fundamental limitation: they only answer questions you already know to ask.

Every insight requires a new formula, a new tab, or a new export. “What did we spend on SaaS this quarter?” That's 20 minutes of filtering and summing. “Which vendor raised prices?” That's a manual comparison across months of data. And the moment you close the file, the data starts aging.

How CentSight Is Different

CentSight connects directly to your financial systems — QuickBooks and Plaid — and maintains a real-time view of your financial data. Instead of building formulas, you ask questions in plain English:

• “What's our burn rate this month versus last month?”
• “Which expense categories are increasing fastest?”
• “Can we afford to hire two more engineers this quarter?”

You get instant, accurate answers — plus proactive alerts for anomalies, trends, and risks you never thought to look for.

When Spreadsheets Still Win

Spreadsheets aren't going away. For one-off calculations, custom modeling, and offline work, they're still the right tool. CentSight doesn't replace your spreadsheet for everything — it replaces your spreadsheet as your primary financial intelligence layer.
