What is Control.dev?+
Control.dev is a group consolidation and FP&A platform for multi-entity groups. EPM for the AI era. Built in the Nordics. It connects the accounting systems you already run, consolidates every entity into one live group, and keeps budgets, forecasts and actuals on that same ledger, with Claude, ChatGPT and Codex connected over MCP. We automate the data collection and consolidation work finance teams otherwise do by hand, so you keep full visibility as you scale without expanding the finance team.
How much does Control.dev cost?+
Control.dev costs €249 a month on Starter (one integration; €99 a month for companies under €1M in annual revenue), €499 on Growth (three integrations, for multi-entity consolidation) and €999 on Enterprise (five integrations), with budgets, forecasts and MCP access in every plan and a 30-day free trial on up to three integrations. An integration is one connected ledger, such as one company’s Netvisor, Procountor or Xero, or one Stripe account. Prices exclude VAT, and there is no implementation fee.
How is Control different from an ERP system?+
Control gives you many of the consolidation and reporting benefits of an enterprise ERP without the high costs, complex implementation, or disruption to your existing workflows. While ERPs require you to replace your current systems, Control sits on top of your existing accounting software, enhancing rather than replacing what already works.
Is Control a BI tool?+
No. BI tools can combine data from many sources, but finance still has to build and maintain every financial definition on top. Control ships that finance logic as the product: consolidation, statement structures, intercompany eliminations, FX and CTA, with drill-down from any group figure to the source transaction.
How long does implementation take?+
Our team connects the ledgers and maps the accounts in Control; most companies have live data in under two hours.
Which accounting & billing systems does Control integrate with?+
Control supports direct accounting integrations with Netvisor, Procountor, Easor (Talenom), Fortnox, Spiris (formerly Visma eEkonomi), Tripletex, e-conomic, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo, Xledger and NetSuite, plus a separate Stripe integration for billing and payment data. If your system is not listed, tell us which one each entity runs. A connector we would build anyway, we build for your group at no extra cost, and other systems come in as a file export through an AI client over MCP, in batches you approve.
Do I need technical resources from my team for implementation?+
No. The Control team does the setup with you, and your finance team reviews the account mapping. We only need more input when you have custom reporting requirements, and no developer resources are required from your side.
What happens to our month-end close?+
Nothing about your close process needs to change. Bookkeeping, accruals, and period locks stay in each entity’s accounting system. Control syncs the books as they close, applies the group consolidation (currency translation, CTA, eliminations), and produces the group statements. Entries backdated after a sync are detected and re-synced automatically.
Can we keep our Excel and Google Sheets models?+
Yes. Your models, formulas, and report templates stay where they are. Control replaces the export and copy-paste layer that feeds them, and connected MCP tools can refresh the numbers in a workbook in place. Inven runs its existing Google Sheets models on daily accounting data this way.
Is Control secure and compliant?+
Yes. Finata Oy’s information security management system is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Control’s core platform is EU-hosted, processes customer personal data under a GDPR Data Processing Agreement, and uses human approval for AI-assisted changes, with every budget value an AI writes carrying its reason, to support EU AI Act readiness.
Can Control help with financial forecasting?+
Yes. Budgets, forecasts and scenarios live in Control as locked versions next to live actuals, down to the entities and accounts behind a variance. Balance sheet and cash flow plans are part of the budget.
Can our own AI tools use the numbers?+
Yes. Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and other MCP clients read the consolidated group over MCP, from the statements down to the transactions, with each user’s Control permissions applied.
