Jirav

About Jirav

Jirav is a financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform combined with fractional CFO services for small and mid-sized businesses. Founded in 2016, Jirav provides budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting software with optional support from their team of fractional CFOs.

Jirav is designed for growing businesses that need sophisticated financial planning but don't have dedicated FP&A staff. Their customers range from small businesses to mid-market companies that want professional-grade budgeting and forecasting tools with expert guidance available when needed.

Service Offerings

Jirav's core offerings include:

• FP&A Software: Budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, and management reporting with dashboards and KPI tracking.
• Fractional CFO Services: Optional access to Jirav's team of CFOs for strategic planning, model building, and financial advisory.
• Accounting Integration: Direct connections to QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting systems to import actuals and compare against budgets.
• Driver-Based Planning: Financial models linked to operational drivers like headcount, customer count, or unit sales.

Jirav operates as a hybrid platform combining self-service FP&A software with optional professional services. Businesses can use the software independently or engage Jirav CFOs for strategic guidance.

Approach and Positioning

Jirav positions itself as accessible FP&A for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need enterprise-grade tools like Adaptive or Anaplan. They emphasize the combination of intuitive software with expert human support, bridging the gap between pure self-service tools and expensive consulting engagements.

What sets Jirav apart is their dual model: companies can start with software only and add fractional CFO services when they need strategic expertise, all within the same platform and relationship.

Key strengths include:

• Modern FP&A software without enterprise complexity or pricing
• Optional fractional CFO services for strategic support
• Strong accounting system integrations for actual vs. budget tracking
• Driver-based planning for operational financial models

How Omniga Compares to Jirav

Jirav is a financial planning and analysis platform with optional CFO services, while Omniga is a finance orchestration platform—they serve different parts of the finance function and can work together.

Jirav focuses on forward-looking financial planning: building budgets, forecasting scenarios, and tracking performance against plans. Omniga focuses on day-to-day finance operations: categorizing transactions, managing bookkeeping workflows, reconciling accounts, and producing reports on actual results. In practice, Jirav builds models based on historical data (where Omniga ensures that data is accurate and well-categorized), and both can use fractional CFO expertise but for different purposes—strategic planning vs. operational execution.

Key differences:

• Focus: Jirav focuses on FP&A, budgeting, and forward-looking financial planning; Omniga focuses on finance operations, bookkeeping workflows, and management reporting on actuals
• Timeline: Jirav is primarily forward-looking (budgets, forecasts, scenarios); Omniga manages current operations (transaction processing, reconciliation, reporting)
• Services: Jirav offers FP&A software + optional fractional CFO for planning; Omniga offers finance platform + optional FDaaS for operational execution

Some businesses might use both: Omniga manages their bookkeeping operations and ensures clean, accurate books, while Jirav uses that historical data to build budgets and financial forecasts with optional CFO strategic guidance.
