Why Strategic Mid-Market CFOs Choose Go Fig

1. A Graph, Not a Destination

Anaplan is a platform you log into to build models. Go Fig is the layer underneath your finance stack. AI financial analysts run segmentation, reconciliation, and capital scenarios, then deliver the output in Excel or Slack. You don’t train your team on a new tool. The work shows up where they already work.

2. Weeks, Not Quarters

Anaplan implementations typically take 6 to 18 months and require Anaplan-certified builders or consultants at $200 to $400 per hour. Go Fig’s team wires your Financial Intelligence Graph and trains your AI analysts in under 30 days. Connections, segmentation, and capital scenarios are live before Anaplan would finish scoping.

3. Mid-Market Pricing

Anaplan is built for enterprise budgets. Most mid-market companies on Go Fig pay a fraction of that, with faster time to value and a Free P&L Audit to prove it before you commit.

4. Built for the Capital Decision

Anaplan is exceptional at modeling once the model is built. Go Fig is built for the CFO who needs to know, today, what’s actually driving margin, how much growth retained earnings can fund, and whether debt capacity supports the expansion. Diagnostic work and capital sizing, not model configuration.

5. Right-Sized for Your Team

Anaplan’s complexity makes sense for a 5,000-person organization with dedicated planners. For a 200-person company, that complexity becomes overhead. Go Fig is purpose-built for the mid-market, governed enough for audit, light enough that finance doesn’t need a new headcount to run it.

When Anaplan Makes Sense

Consider Anaplan if you:

• Have 1,000+ employees with dedicated planning resources
• Need to model complex supply chains or multi-geography workforce planning
• Have budget for $250K+ annually plus implementation consultants
• Can wait 6-18 months for full deployment

When Go Fig Makes Sense

Consider Go Fig if you:

• Are a strategic CFO at a 50 to 500 person company who needs to make real capital decisions now
• Need margin diagnosis, scenario modeling, and cash and debt sizing, not another reporting tool
• Want to be live in weeks, not quarters
• Want AI financial analysts doing the work inside Excel, Slack, or wherever your team already sits
• Need the layer underneath your finance stack to be governed, not another destination to log into

The Bottom Line

Anaplan is a Ferrari. Incredible performance, expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, and overkill for most roads. Go Fig is built for the mid-market strategic CFO. Fast to deploy, governed by default, and focused on the capital decisions only the CFO can make.
