OUR OWN SURVEY
Three structural gaps.
Our own SteerSuite survey of 60+ finance & controlling experts and executives across the DACH region — then cross-checked live with the audience when we closed Rethink! Controlling 2026 with the keynote. The distributions held.
Tool-hopping is the productivity gap on no P&L.
Each tool-switch costs ~23 minutes of refocus time. That's roughly 2.5 hours per person per day.
The numbers come in hours. The “why” costs days.
No tool tracks decision context while it forms — every cycle reconstructs it from emails, calls, and missing colleagues.
Plug-and-play doesn't exist in finance software.
New BI/CPM tools take 6+ months to produce real value — Gartner-confirmed. Software built for consultants, not for speed.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
Three structural gaps. One missing layer. We're building it.
Tool-hopping costs 2.5 hours per person per day. The story behind the numbers costs days. New tooling needs 6–12 months to deliver value. These are not three problems — they are one problem in three places: a finance stack with no memory layer above it. SteerSuite is that layer.
ONE LAYER · TWO WAYS IN
The decision-memory layer above your finance stack.
Every variance, every forecast adjustment, every reclassification — captured with the context that produced it, across both spoken input and your team's tacit knowledge.
From spoken requirements to a working data model.
Say your reporting needs out loud. The system structures one artifact per requirement and produces the smallest possible data model your IT can implement.
"I need quarterly variance against budget by region, with explanations from last quarter linked." — Ten minutes of voice becomes a structured data model and a working artifact.
The tacit knowledge across your finance team — mapped, contradiction-aware.
Each member's role, workflow, and assumptions feed one knowledge structure. Contradictions surface automatically, interface conversations get prioritized by real friction.
Every agent action through one controlled point. Every contradiction logged, every resolution traced.
Plus the foundation that makes them work:
Decision Memory
Every variance, forecast change and reclassification is captured with the context that produced it — searchable next quarter, next audit, next CFO.
Zero Data Retention AI
EU-hosted, with a signed zero-retention addendum — your data never enters model training.
Conversational BI
Ask your numbers in plain language — the answer comes with its source and reasoning.
AI-Native Collaboration
People and agents work in one shared space, every action logged through a single controlled point.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Two ways to start.
A DAY WITH STEERSUITE
One Tuesday in the office of a CFO running on SteerSuite.
Anna Schmidt is Head of Finance at a German industrial group with 2,000 employees. Three months ago her week looked like the status quo above. Here are three moments from a Tuesday after SteerSuite went live.
The numbers are already framed.
Reconciled briefing on screen by 7:32, freeing the next 90 minutes for analysis instead of manual consolidation.
The decision trace is one query away.
What used to take half a day takes 4 seconds. The audit prep that takes finance teams 3 weeks now takes an afternoon.
Full audit trail in minutes.
Answer in minutes, because the audit trail is part of the architecture.
