Mission and Guiding Principles
Founded in 2013, we deliver solutions to help strategic-minded procurement and finance executives measure, compare, and communicate their impact across their organizations.
We are guided by the belief that as mission-driven organizations, higher education and government institutions answer the “impact” question much differently than others. Simply analyzing spend or budget details is not enough to describe the value contributed. A total picture, both quantitative and qualitative, allows customers to gain fresh insights and chart new courses for improvement.
We use the latest in data visualization technology to provide our customers a platform to rapidly analyze multiple data sources, understand trends, monitor performance, gauge progress to goals, and much more. As a cloud-based SaaS solution provider, FinVantage delivers these benefits without costly server deployments, in-house IT projects, or risky integration work.
