A Causal Case Study
Inscribe (YC S18, 27 employees, Series A) needed to minimize the time spent building and managing their financial model and improve company-wide visibility. Using spreadsheets made it hard to compare forecasts, budgets and actuals, track historical versions, or share results safely because of sensitive salary data — so Inscribe turned to Causal to replace their entire Excel operating model with a dedicated financial modelling platform.
Causal built Inscribe’s full revenue, headcount and expense model in four days (vs two weeks previously), connected to their accounting system to pull actuals, and added version control and KPI dashboards for self-serve reporting. The Causal implementation automated routine finance work, saved roughly 3 days per month, increased transparency without exposing sensitive data, and freed Inscribe’s Chief of Staff to focus on higher‑value strategic work.
