How Many Spreadsheets Does Your Finance Team Rely on During Close? We Recently Dug Into This — and The Numbers Shocked Us

How many spreadsheets does your finance team rely on during close? We recently dug into this — and the numbers shocked us:

🔹 SMBs: 10–50 spreadsheets
🔹 Mid to Large Enterprises: 50–200
🔹 Global Enterprises: 200+

Even with SaaS tools like ERPs and FP&A platforms, spreadsheets remain the backbone of financial workflows — often hidden in plain sight. These "shadow fleets" power reconciliations, segment forecasts, and support schedules.

But they also introduce serious risks:

❌ Version confusion
❌ Broken formulas
❌ Unauthorized edits
❌ Delayed decisions
❌ SOX compliance gaps

This is exactly why we built Rockhopper Inc. — to help finance teams audit, track, and eliminate spreadsheet chaos. We’re building the layer of trust between your spreadsheets and your systems.
