We've improved how Francis pulls transactions from connected data sources by introducing delta syncs.
Early indications show sync times reduced by 99%. This opens up new use cases and makes Francis more viable for controlling workflows.
As delta syncs are still in beta, Francis may occasionally fall back to a full sync. We're continuing to improve this in the coming months.

Francis now imports all available dimensions from Microsoft Business Central and Visma e-conomic. This means you can now create nested breakdowns across multiple dimensions simultaneously, building hierarchical structures that match how your business operates – like planning across Channel → Product Category → SKU.
This works seamlessly with entity breakdowns and rollups, so multi-entity groups can plan across legal structures and operational dimensions in a single hierarchal structure.
Go to the "Sheets" list in the sidebar and click the ellipsis icon (…)
From the drop-down, select Breakdown and choose your desired dimension
Repeat the for subsequent breakdowns along a different dimension

Our Google Sheets integration now supports dimensions. When you import transaction data, you can include departments, projects, regions, or other dimensions – bringing the same dimension-level detail you get from native integrations to any data source.
This is especially useful if you're importing data from an ERP we don't yet support natively. Your manual imports can now carry the same dimensional structure as automated connections.
Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Sheets and select Connect
Choose the Detailed entries template
Add dimension values in column E of your spreadsheet
If you leave column E empty, Francis imports the data without dimensions. You can also add dimensions to existing sheets retroactively by populating column E and triggering a manual sync from the integration settings.
Google Sheets imports support one dimension per dataset. If you need multiple dimensions (e.g., both department and project on the same transactions), upvote this on our roadmap and we'll notify you when it's available.

Finance teams managing multi-entity group structures often need to plan each entity along a dimension – whether that's department, region, or product line. Until now, this required building separate structures for each entity and manually consolidating them to produce a group-wide view.
Nested breakdowns eliminate this overhead. Define a single structure that breaks down by entity, then by dimension, with consolidation handled automatically across your entire group.
The feature integrates fully with rollups, enabling sub-groupings at any level of the hierarchy: group entities by region, or aggregate dimension values like general and admin into a combined “General & admin” view.
One unified structure, automatic consolidation, significantly reduced model maintenance.

Rollups let you create meaningful sub-consolidations within a breakdown. If your Francis model contains multiple entities or uses dimensions for planning, you can now group sub-sheets into rollups. In the image above, Central Europe is a rollup that contains the sub-sheets Germany and France.

Our Visma e-conomic integration now supports draft entries, also known as kassekladder or kladdeposteringer. Previously, the integration only supported finalized entries and ignored draft entries entirely.
With draft entries enabled, Francis becomes more integrated into your controlling workflows. You can analyze the effects of draft entries on financial reports before finalizing and closing the books for a specific month.
To enable draft entries for Visma e-conomic connections, navigate to Settings > Active integrations > Visma e-conomic. Select an active connection, then enable Include draft entries (kassekladder) in the configuration.

With the introduction of comments, we're making it easier to collaborate with your team on financial plans. Leverage input from stakeholders across your organization to fine-tune budgets and ensure greater accuracy. To leave a comment, simply right-click on a cell and choose Comment from the action menu.

Francis comments include a built-in mention feature, enabling you to tag team members and direct their attention to specific sections of your model. When you mention someone, they’ll be notified via email about your comment, encouraging them to reply promptly.

We want to keep you informed, so we've introduced email notifications as a built-in feature for comments. This means you'll receive email updates whenever someone mentions you directly or posts a reply in a thread where you're the original author or have previously contributed.
Comments are fully compatible with Francis' confidentiality features. More specifically, users with limited access will be able to leave comments, making it easier to include these stakeholders in the planning process and eliminating the need for parallel emailing.

We’re excited to introduce dark mode, a new interface theme specifically designed for nighttime modeling. Switch between Light or Dark mode under personal preferences in settings, or select System to have Francis dynamically change between Light and Dark mode based on your system settings.
