Farseer simplifies budgeting and forecasting for finance teams
Farseer, a Zagreb-based platform, transforms budgeting and forecasting for finance teams by replacing fragile spreadsheets with robust simulations. This curated FinTech of My Choice pick helps CFOs navigate volatility with speed and accuracy.
A friend of mine has a ritual when he looks at new products. He asks one question: Where can we replace Excel?
Fintech of my choice: Farseer
In budgeting and forecasting, Excel is still the default winner. Not because it is the best tool, but because everyone already has it, and every finance team has someone who knows the macros. The problem starts the moment the business becomes messy and volatile, and you need real “what if” planning instead of a fragile spreadsheet that only one person dares to touch.
Farseer is a Zagreb-based planning and simulation platform built for finance teams that want a forecasting engine, not another table. You build budgets, forecasts, and scenarios in one place, and you can run simulations in minutes instead of rebuilding a model cell by cell.
The company was founded in 2020 by Matija Nakić, Zrinko Dolić, Luka Mijatović, and Matej Trbara. They just raised a $7.2M Series A led by AYMO Ventures with SQ Capital, and the plan is clear: hire across product, sales, and marketing, expand into Western Europe and North America, and go deeper on AI-powered simulations.
I like the business logic here because it is boring in the best way. SaaS with seat-based subscriptions, plus usage-based add-ons when teams need more power. And the customer list tells you this is not a toy. Deutsche Telekom, Mazars, and a mix of consumer brands and large regional businesses already use it.
There is a bigger pattern I keep seeing in fintech and “fintech-adjacent” software. Volatility is turning finance from reporting into navigation. The winners will be the tools that help CFOs make decisions fast, with a clean audit trail and shared assumptions, not a spreadsheet that breaks when someone adds a column.

If I were running finance for a fast-growing team today, I would seriously test Farseer against our best spreadsheet model and see which one survives a real board week.
What is your biggest pain point in budgeting and forecasting right now: data inputs, scenario planning, collaboration, or just keeping one version of the truth?
