ACUMEN Financial Solutions

ACUMEN Financial Solutions, a division of Three D Graphics Inc., also offers executive-level business financial planning through its corporation-focused ACUMEN software (www.acumenfs.com), allowing users to ‘quickly see the effects over time of changing variables, such as a product price or added sales expenses,’ said Elmer Easton, CEO of ACUMEN Financial Solutions. The program offers an intuitive user interface that makes it easy for a CEO or CFO to explore the potential problem areas in the company’s financials without requiring sophisticated spreadsheet manipulation or other extremely technical tools, he said.

‘The corporate market is demanding
software tools that will help it
comply with new legal reporting
requirements,’ according to
Mr. Easton. ‘While most of
the activity so far has been focused
on Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, ACUMEN
uniquely and specifically addresses
Section 409 as well. It provides
instant, deep and detailed analysis
of historical data, then rolls trend
information forward, all in an easy-to-read
graphic format, giving financial
executives a clear picture of how
new information affects their company’s
future, and helps determine whether
they have a reportable condition
or event.’
