Finance Teams Trying Claude Instead of DataRails Help? What to Offer Them
Finance teams are trying Claude instead of calling you. Here is what to offer them, and how to earn on it for 3 years.
Your finance clients are asking Claude to build what they used to ask you to build in DataRails. Offer them what Claude can’t: numbers computed from their systems and matched to the books. Bring your FP&A clients answers across the whole business, without models to rebuild by hand. SQOR.ai builds the model itself, computes every number and matches it to the books, and pays you 20% to 30% of the Proof of Value and every subscription payment for 3 years as a partner.
What is changing
DataRails is a strong Excel-native tool for budgeting, forecasting and consolidation, and its users rate it highly.
It lives in the finance planning corner, and the finance team still builds and maintains the models.
What to do next
- List your DataRails clients, and the models they rebuild most often.
- Show the questions beyond planning answered by SQOR.ai, matched to the books.
- Keep the planning work that belongs in FP&A, and keep billing for it.
- Stay in as the partner who leads it.
Where SQOR.ai fits with DataRails
DataRails lives in finance planning. SQOR.ai is an autonomous engine across the whole business that builds the model itself and answers in plain English. See the full comparison, SQOR.ai vs DataRails.
