Our origin story
It all started with a rolling forecast. Actually, the frustration related to creating a rolling forecast. The mission to simplify the rolling forecast then snowballed into the realization that capable FP&A and planning tools were too expensive and so complex it took teams of people use them. World-class planning tools should be accessible to everyone at any size company, and of course rolling forecasts should be easy. The world needed a planning solution purpose-built for growth companies, thus Jirav was born.
Did you know a group of giraffes is called a tower?
Our customers, partners, and advisors make up the Jirav tower, and our mission is simple:
To help you embrace a future without manual reporting, only unlimited forecasting potential. We believe that modern finance requires a solution that's intuitive, affordable, and easy-to-learn – so you can get up and running in no time.
