Automate cost and revenue allocations using real business drivers

Gravity Software delivers powerful statistical accounting and allocation software designed for organizations operating across multiple entities, departments, and cost centers. By leveraging non-financial drivers — such as headcount, square footage, usage metrics, or custom statistics — Gravity enables finance teams to automatically allocate costs and revenues with accuracy and consistency.

As part of Gravity’s multi-entity accounting software, statistical accounting eliminates spreadsheets and manual journal entries while strengthening financial resource management, budgeting, and forecasting. Built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Gravity seamlessly connects accounting data with advanced reporting and analytics in Power BI.
