We forgot to cook up an April Fool’s joke this year…because the team’s been a little distracted playing with Ghibli-inspired creations. The good news is, our Slack channels have been transformed into digital art museums. Distraction? Maybe. Fun? Definitely. It’s giving the team a healthy dose of laughter and cheer throughout the day. Thanks OpenAI! What have you been Ghibli-ing? Drop your creations in the comments—we want to see!

We're huge fans of CJ Gustafson and Mostly Metrics, so it was an honor to share the spotlight in his inaugural 2025 Finance Tech Stack Report—backed by 1k+ submissions. One surprising-yet-not-surprising takeaway? Spreadsheets still lead the way across most categories and company sizes. And that’s exactly why Aleph took a spreadsheet-native approach from day one. We’re not here to rip out the tool FP&A teams know and love. Instead, we’re here to supercharge them with real-time source data, centralized logic, and AI-powered insights—all working in beautiful harmony with your existing spreadsheets. Check out the full report to see the ranking across 15 core finance tech categories (link in the comments)! 👇

Join Albert Gozzi, CEO of Aleph, and Joseph Dizon, MBA, Director of Finance at Lifestraw, as they discuss one of the biggest challenges in FP&A—data quality. 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, March 5th ⏰ Time: 2 pm est / 11 am pst ✍ Register: https://lnkd.in/esjYYPrw Save your seat to learn how high-performing teams don’t get paralyzed by imperfect data and what they focus on instead.

In our recent post, we bust the myth that great FP&A requires perfect data. The reality is that perfect data doesn’t exist. Too many finance teams get stuck chasing an unattainable ideal that they overlook how to make the best out of what they have in front of them. High-performing teams recognize that good data + great analysis beats perfect data + good analysis every time. Instead of obsessively fixing every last inconsistency, these teams focus on: ▪️ Prioritizing the most critical gaps ▪️ Automating tedious cleanup tasks to free up time ▪️ Cultivating enough clean, reliable data to power great decision-making ▪️ Building adaptable systems that evolve with the business Click the link in the comments to check out the full post + a checklist to help FP&A teams navigate and overcome imperfect data challenges.
