What do you like best about Pry?

The UI/UX is so intuitive, the process of converting excel to pry was handled with professionalism and great ease.

As someone who, frankly, is not that strong with modeling/numbers, it has made my life 10x easier. The team is very responsive and made it a painless process to migrate.

I will never use an excel sheet again! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

Nothing except it took a little while to do the migration but that's only because they're onboarding so many people. Took about 2 weeks from sign up. No big deal :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pry:

Once you use it, you will never use excel again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Financial modeling, data visualisation, death to excel!

How easy it is to make changes, to compare previous months, provide quarterly updates and get a real picture of your finances at a glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Pry?

The Pry team is the best at what they do combining technology & finance. Everything I need to do financial planning on Pry is there. If a feature is not available, I ask the team and they would listen to my feedback. If there is something I don’t know how to build/model out, they have knowledgeable financial analysts to guide me through. While I use most of the features, the modeling feature is my personal favorite. It’s flexible, yet very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

I only wish that Pry had existed earlier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pry:

Many people I know are not big fans of financial planning, but it really is the bloodline of the business and as a founder(and for investors), it is in your best interest to understand and be able to have that data on your fingertips. Pry makes it incredibly intuitive and less intimidating altogether. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to stay on the same page across teams and stay streamlined in our planning process. Everyone can go to this tool and look at what is missing, what’s happening and look at the forecasting. The scenario planning is also helpful to see how the startup will perform under different circumstances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pry?

Every so often. Once every few years, I stumble upon a solution that rocks my world. Well, it's happened again. Meet Pry Financials by Andy Su and the incredible team at this incredible company.

If you've ever had to build a 3 year financial model that works for your unique product line offering, complex expense portfolio and revenue model with monthly, quarterly and yearly recurring revenue, as well as a diverse team of full time, part time employees and contractors and more madness to put into spreadsheets... you know how difficult it is. Not with this fantastic solution.

I've searched far and wide for something like this. It simply didn't exist, at least not at this price point. Not until now.

https://pry.co/ is connected to payroll (ADP, Gusto, etc.), to Accounting software (Intuit QuickBooks, Xero, etc.) and allows you to build any financial model you can dream up. Generate financials on the fly. Beautiful live dashboards with scenarios and actual vs. plan and share them with anyone you want.

The best part is, their support is unparalleled. I know how hard it is to support a platform that allows you to build complex solutions. It's not easy, but these guys have mastered the art of breaking down complex concepts into simple steps. It took me 1.5 weeks to build my complete financial models on Pry. Now I can make sound decisions and know exactly what my cashflow will be 9 months from now with my projections.

Best of all. I'm ready to build our deck preparing for our first raise in Q4. The financials are done!

I give this product the highest recommendation possible.

The end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

That I didn't find out about it years ago, nothing is missing, and the support is the best in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pry:

This may very well be the best decision you've made as a founder in a long time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes cash flow prediction, hiring decisions, and marketing spend decisions a breeze. I accomplished in a week and a half what I wasn't able to achieve with spreadsheets in 5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pry?

I value the high-level picture Pry provides. The diagrams and charts are perfect for providing key stakeholders and board members a quick snapshot of where the business is and the cash outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

Really nothing - it is a new startup, so the team is constantly looking to make improvements. But each time I reach out with suguestions they are receptive and constantly making changes to better the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having automated cash flow projections directly from Xero or Quickbooks. It eliminates the need to export and copy and paste financials each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pry?

The fact that we can run our financial models in an online, shareable, flexible, intuitive tool is so much better than a clunky Excel that only one person controls! We can all view the details, make edits, run multiple scenarios, export data, change time frames - it is super flexbile! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

The model building is a little complicated but once you understand how to build the functions and use the variables, it becomes a breeze!

The file exports are great, but they aren't in any universally accepted financial statement format - it would be awesome to export a cash flow, income and balance sheet statement, properly formatted for use! Now you export them and have to do some manual editing to get it where you might need to share with finance teams outside the organization.

There is some intuition in finding information and building queries to visualize data but there is a bit of a learning curve. There are connections within the different pages and data points in the programming that are not clearly visible or intuitive to new users, but whenever I get stuck, I send a message to the team and get a super quick response and more clarity on how to do things! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are building financial models for our venture-backed startup. The tool helps us understand our departmental spending, the impact of hiring/spending on our runway and monitor spending (budgeted vs actuals) throughout the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

There is a learning curve for sure and while its better than excel somethings are still not super intuitive. They need to invest more in a video knowledgebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actuals vs. Forecasting. Received a better handle on our financials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pry?

Pry makes it super simple for anyone to build out financial models for their business. I love it because it gives my team and I the power to dynamically create and tinker without going back and forth and spending weeks and a lot of money to build out our future models with a CFO. Plus, being able to create SaaS P&L's is a game-changer for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

I wish there was more training on how to build out the calculations using Models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pry:

Speak with the Pry team about settings up the calculation models FOR YOU. It'll save you lots of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We hired a CFO to help us build out models, but after spending weeks and thousands of dollars, we were left with an Excel file and no confusion on how it all worked. We wanted to be able to build out financial and hiring models for the growth of our SaaS company to help us decide when to hire, when to raise capital, when to invest, and sell the true future of the business given real data.

What do you like best about Pry?

I like it because it’s the way I find it easiest to keep up to date with my cashflow, something that is critical for our startup to allocate resources efficiently and optimize the cost and spend of the company (even taking into account payroll). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

Nothing that I can think of as the customer service team has been excellent in helping me get up to speed and answer any questions I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pry:

If you're at a very early stage and don’t have bookkeeping set up yet, Pry can also help you with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

One benefit is to keep us all organized and aligned through a common platform and the ability to have the required data at any time in its most updated form. We have visibility to all that is going on, how much cash we need to generate vs how much we spend, to keep the startup running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pry?

I was a spreadsheets guy before I discovered Pry. My brother and I are bootstrapping our startup and we were constantly calculating our runway from our spreadsheets.We didn’t have much activity going on but it was still time-consuming to maintain our spreadsheets. What I really like about Pry is how it makes it so easy and simple to know what our runway is. They even have 4 different types of runway calculations for different scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pry?

It’s different from spreadsheets(in a much better, automated way) so it does take some time to get used to the tool. If you spend the time to learn the tool, you’ll get a lot more out of it. I’d rather spend a little time learning this tool than to constantly waste my time on spreadsheets again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to know what our runway is at all times has been tremendously helpful. Also, their scenario planning and dashboard features come in handy when we are ready to fundraise and present to investors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
