BudgetHubX


Driver-Based Forecasting & Contribution Analysis

BudgetHubX is an advanced forecasting SaaS platform that explains why financial outcomes move, not just what the forecasted numbers are.

It uses driver-based regression and contribution analysis to translate volumes, prices, costs, foreign exchange, interest rates, and business activity into transparent, scenario-driven forecasts.

Designed for Finance, FP&A, Treasury, Strategy, and Risk teams that require explainable forecasts suitable for management and board-level decision-making.


What BudgetHubX Supports

BudgetHubX supports organisations in:

  • Building forecasts driven by explicit financial and operational drivers
  • Decomposing results into baseline trends and driver contributions
  • Understanding what factors are lifting or dragging performance
  • Running scenario-driven forecasts by adjusting driver assumptions
  • Producing explainable outputs for governance and executive review

The platform transforms forecasting from a black-box projection into a causality-based decision-support framework.


 

Who It’s For

BudgetHubX is designed for professional teams that require driver-linked, explainable forecasts, including:

  • Finance & FP&A teams
    Driver-based planning, contribution analysis, and scenario-driven forecasting.
  • Treasury teams (banks and corporates)
    Forecasting interest income, funding costs, FX-sensitive cash flows, and balance-sheet drivers using transparent assumptions.
  • Strategy & business planning teams
    Evaluating growth, pricing, margin, volume, and cost drivers under alternative scenarios.
  • Risk & performance management teams
    Stress testing key drivers and assessing downside and upside sensitivity.
  • CFOs, Finance Directors & management committees
    Reviewing forecasts that clearly separate baseline trends from driver impacts.

BudgetHubX fits best where organisations want to move from pure time-series forecasting toward causality-based forecasting with full transparency and governance visibility.

Key Capabilities


Driver-Based Forecast Construction

  • Forecasts are built using explicit drivers such as volumes, prices, costs, FX, interest rates, and activity levels
  • Ensures forecasts remain economically interpretable and aligned with real business dynamics

Baseline + Contribution Decomposition

  • Every forecast is decomposed into:
    • a baseline trend component
    • explicit positive and negative driver contributions
  • Allows management to clearly see what is lifting or dragging performance

User-Defined Driver Assumptions

  • Future driver paths can be defined using:
    • last observed values
    • historical averages
    • neutral (zero) assumptions
  • Enables disciplined and controllable scenario construction

Scenario Planning & Driver Stress Testing

  • Scenarios are built by adjusting drivers rather than directly shocking outputs
  • Drivers can be stressed individually or in combination
  • Supports evaluation of downside risk, upside potential, margin compression, and cost or funding sensitivity

All scenario results remain fully decomposed into baseline and driver contributions.


Governance-Ready Forecast Structure

  • Full traceability from:
    Inputs → Drivers → Contributions → Final Forecast
  • Supports review by management, internal audit, model review teams, and second-line functions

Governance, Controls & Model Transparency

BudgetHubX is designed for controlled use within finance, FP&A, treasury, strategy, and risk functions.

For each forecast run, the platform documents:

  • Baseline level and trend
  • Selected financial and operational drivers
  • Contribution of each driver to the final forecast
  • Assumptions applied to future driver paths

This structure ensures forecasts are reviewable, challengeable, and repeatable, avoiding black-box dependency and supporting internal governance and model oversight.
