EMAsphere

EMAsphere provides a SaaS performance management platform designed to automate financial and operational reporting for CFOs, SMEs, and accounting firms. It was founded in 2015 by Hugues Vandepeutte, who served as a CFO for over twenty years and created the company based on the reporting struggles he experienced. Didier Vankeerberghen also serves as co-CEO.

The company's business model is subscription-based, offering different tiers such as Freemium, Essential, and Enterprise, which vary by the number of users and feature sets. Revenue is generated through these subscriptions and indirect sales through partners like PwC and BDO, which accounted for 30% of the business as of July 2020. The platform serves over 10,000 customers, primarily in the Benelux region, France, and the United Kingdom.

The platform connects to over 250 systems, including accounting, ERP, CRM, and HR software, to automatically collect, structure, and visualize data. This allows for the creation of customized dashboards with real-time analytics. Key features include financial consolidation, cash flow monitoring and forecasting, budgeting, analytical reporting, and scenario analysis. The tool offers a library of over 200 pre-configured KPIs and charts, and allows users to drill down into data to the original accounting entry. It supports multiple currencies and provides role-based access to share reports with different stakeholders.
