For FP&A teams · Excel add-in

Your team's models, versions, and what was reported, in one place.

Commit a version with a note. See what changed between any two. Reopen any version from any workbook.

SharePoint keeps unnamed copies of the file. OperatorIQ keeps the named record of who changed what, and why. Team history is kept for team accounts. Team accounts are not open yet. The history belongs to the team, so it stays when someone leaves. Inside Excel, an analyst answers from the workbook and builds models that check their own work before anything is kept. For FP&A teams in any industry.

Placeholder plan versus actual. Not a customer workbook.

Side pane
Why is EBITDA under plan?
Revenue is ahead of plan. COGS moved further. The variance sits on the sheet. If a driver cell is blank, the pane refuses instead of filling a figure.

Mock answer. This chrome does not run a model.

Lives in Excel · feeds fromMicrosoft ExcelQuickBooksSquare
The graveyard

The model is on v30, and nobody remembers what changed from v25.

A folder of Budget_FINAL_final_v3 files. SharePoint version history full of copies with no names and no reasons. No record of which assumption moved, who moved it, or what the team reported last month.

"Which version is current?"

Five files named final and three people editing copies. The plan of record is whatever someone last emailed, and nobody is sure.

"Why did the number change?"

EBITDA moved $300K between board decks and the reasoning is gone. When the analyst who built the model leaves, the reasons leave with them.

The team record · live today

Commit a version. See exactly what changed. Keep why.

SharePoint keeps unnamed copies. OperatorIQ keeps the named record: who changed what, when, and why. Team history is kept for team accounts. Team accounts are not open yet. The history is scoped to the team, so it stays with the team when someone leaves. All of it inside the workbook you already use.

Diff any two versions: the inputs that moved, the outputs they drove, and the note on the newer one. Illustrated values.

"Raised growth to 6% on the new-store ramp; held COGS because the vendor contract locks through Q4."

Audit trail
Every version in order, with who, when, what changed and why. Write it into the workbook as a tab when the auditor asks.
What you get today

The record of how your team's numbers were built.

Version control, diffing, lineage and the reasoning, wired into the Excel your team already works in. No rebuild, no migration.

Model lifecycle
Version, diff, lineage

Every commit captures the assumptions, the outputs they drove, and the note on why. One version is pinned as the current plan, and lineage shows which version each one came from.

Any workbook
Reopen any version

Open any committed version from any workbook. The source file does not have to exist.

Team
Shared history, scoped to the team

Team history is kept for team accounts. Team accounts are not open yet. A team model belongs to the team, not to the person who built it. Each version is stamped with its author.

Audit trail
Who, what, when, and why

The full evolution of a model, version by version, with the changes and the note on each. Write it into the workbook in one step.

Model check
Catches what breaks your model

Scans a model for broken references, hard-coded overrides, circular references and runaway assumptions, and flags each with the cell and the reason. No AI model is involved in the check.

Actuals
QuickBooks and Square feed the pull

Connect QuickBooks or Square and pull your actuals into the model. Connections sync once a day.

The analyst in Excel · early access

An analyst inside Excel that checks its own work.

Ask a question and it answers from the workbook. Ask for a model and it builds one: a cash flow walk, a variance bridge, a forecast, a scenario, a chart. Allocations are in early access. Every build passes automatic checks before it is kept, and you approve every change to your own tabs before it is written.

Variance bridge · May vs budget
Budget net income$35,000
COGS shock-$4,000
Labor over plan-$2,000
Other opex-$1,000
Actual net income$28,000

Illustration. In a real build each effect is a formula off your cells, and a check row must read zero before the bridge is kept.

12-month forecast
Growth / mo
1.2%
COGS %
32%
Labor %
30%
Projected revenue$612,400

Illustration. Assumptions land as labeled blue inputs and projections as formulas over them.

Checked before it is kept. A build that fails a check is taken back out and sent back to be fixed.
Footing and tie-outs
Every check row the build declares must read its expected value, and statement footing can be run on any sheet.
No hard-coded numbers
Typed numbers are labeled inputs. Formulas carry no bare constants.
No broken references
No Excel error value in any cell the build wrote.
You approve changes to your tabs
Nothing on your own tabs is overwritten until you allow it, and Undo puts it back.

Agent features are in early access. Some model types open to every user; others open as they pass their own test runs.

Coming

Your team's agents, on your phone.

Specialist agents, such as a close checker and a variance watcher, that know your team's models and versions. Ask "what changed in the forecast since we reported August?" from anywhere. Get told when a check fails, and approve the fix.

This is not live today. We will say so on this page when it is.

Variance watcherComing
What changed in the forecast since we reported August?
Two versions since the August report. Priya raised Q4 growth in v31 with a note on the new contract. The close checker flagged one tie that no longer reads zero. Approve the fix?

Illustration of a planned feature. Not a live session.

Also coming

More of the team layer.

Named version setsComing

Budget v1 to v30 as one named set, so the team can find the budget cycle, not just the file.

Frozen "as reported" snapshotsComing

Freeze what the team reported each month, so forecast versus actual compares against what was actually said.

Versions in your own SharePointComing

Store the committed versions in the team’s own SharePoint.

Team memoryComing

Conventions and decisions the team has agreed, remembered for the next analyst and the next agent.

Your data

Your financial data stays yours.

OperatorIQ was built for finance, where trust in the numbers is the whole job.

It lives in your Excel

OperatorIQ is an add-in, not a platform you migrate to. Your working models stay in your own files.

What reaches our servers

We keep the versions you commit, with their notes, and the data you connect. When you ask the agent a question or run a build, the add-in sends every sheet in the workbook, hidden sheets included, up to 400,000 cells in all, to OperatorIQ and to Anthropic to do the work.

Connections you can revoke

QuickBooks and Square connect through their official OAuth. OperatorIQ never sees your password, only a token you can revoke. Tokens are encrypted at rest. For customers the connection reads; it does not write to your books.

Checked before it is kept

Builds pass tie-out, broken-reference and hard-coded-number checks before they are kept, and changes to your own tabs wait for your approval.

Auditable by design

Every committed change is versioned with who, what, when, and why, and the trail can be written into the workbook.

Why us

Built by an FP&A analyst, for the analysts drowning in Excel.

I'm Michael Allison. I have done FP&A for years, and my own models lived in a graveyard of versions with no memory of what changed or why. I built OperatorIQ to be the tool I wanted: version control, diffing, and decision-memory, without ever leaving Excel. Questions? Email help@myoperatoriq.com.

Get on the list

Join the waitlist, or contact us.

Email, plus an optional role and company size. We store it ourselves. We do not add you to a mailing-list vendor.

Access opens from the list.

The list is for FP&A teams in any industry. We open access to teams from it and email the pricing with the invite. Existing accounts can still sign in.

Your models deserve a memory.

Version, diff, and keep the why, with the team. Plus an analyst in Excel that checks its own work.
