SMPL.ai for Finance teams on Campfire

What Campfire data supports in SMPL

Campfire is an accounting and ERP platform adopted by growing companies, including SaaS businesses, to run the general ledger and the close. In SMPL, the closed results drive these workflows.

• From close to board package

  Once a period closes in Campfire, the posted results become the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement in SMPL, with the management P&L, SaaS metrics, and commentary built on the same numbers.

• Entity and department structure

  Entities, departments, and other reporting fields in Campfire are mapped during implementation, so reporting and the budget follow the structure leadership reviews.

• Revenue and deferred revenue

  Where revenue is recognized in Campfire, recognized and deferred revenue feed the ARR-to-revenue bridge and the revenue schedule in the forecast.

• Opening balances for the plan

  Year-end cash and balance sheet positions become the opening balances of the operating budget, so the plan starts from the ledger rather than a hand-keyed number.

Combined with the rest of your operating data

A faster close gives Finance more time. Planning puts that time to use, and it needs the systems that describe what happens next.

• CRM pipeline

  Opportunities from Salesforce or HubSpot supply pipeline, bookings, and coverage for the revenue forecast and the GTM plan.

• Billing and ARR

  Subscription data from Stripe, Chargebee, Maxio, or another billing platform produces the ARR waterfall and retention alongside Campfire revenue.

• Workforce

  HRIS and payroll data drive the headcount plan, which flows into opex, EBITDA, and cash.

What you can produce and decide

• A driver-based, three-statement budget

  Growth, retention, hiring, and spend drivers produce the budgeted income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow by month.

• Plan Assurance before the board sees the plan

  The budget is checked against cash floors, coverage, and other constraints, and run through named stress cases and a simulation of the monthly cash path.

• Workforce and cash decisions together

  See how a hiring plan changes opex, EBITDA, and the monthly cash low point before approving it.

• Board reporting that ties

  ARR, revenue, statements, cash, and headcount from one model, with commentary drafted from calculated variances and traceable to source.

Illustrative example. The draft budget adds twelve hires and ends December with cash above the floor. Plan Assurance shows that if new-business growth lands three points lower, cash dips below the floor in August, and names the sales capacity constraint that fails first. The team moves four hires to the second half before the plan is approved.
