Overview
Connected Financial Control Across Every Project
Project teams need a clear, connected view of financial performance, but financial data is often fragmented across systems, making it difficult to understand where projects stand or where they’re headed. Finance Central solves this by bringing together project budgets, costs, and forecasts into a single system designed for operational clarity, not just back-office reporting. By connecting financial insight directly to the work happening in Sitetracker, teams gain the visibility, access, and control needed to manage financial outcomes with confidence at scale.

What Is Project Financial Management?
Project financial management ensures that every project has the clarity, funding, and cost control needed to stay on track. Sitetracker strengthens this by tying baseline budgets, cost changes, completion forecasts, and committed and uncommitted costs directly to project execution, giving teams a connected and accurate view of financial performance.
Why Sitetracker for Financial Management?
Disconnected Systems Limit Financial Insight
Disconnected spreadsheets and siloed systems make it hard for teams to understand true financial performance or respond when conditions change. Finance Central eliminates that fragmentation by connecting financial insight directly to project execution, giving teams the context they need to make informed, timely decisions.
Purpose-Built for the Complexity of Critical Infrastructure
Sitetracker gives developers, owners, and operators a financial framework tailored to the needs of complex renewable energy and digital infrastructure projects—providing connected, forward-looking cost visibility that stays aligned to work throughout the asset lifecycle.
Other Tools Miss the Full Picture
ERPs and accounting software show the costs that have already happened, while construction tools capture the work in motion, but they operate in separate worlds. Finance Central connects work and financials in one system, delivering the clarity and future visibility other tools can’t.
Stronger Governance for Dynamic Projects
Controlled workflows keep budgets, cost updates, and forecasts consistent and auditable, giving teams the accuracy and accountability needed to stay ahead of issues as project conditions shift.
