Norwegian-Developed Financial Planning and Analysis Software in Active Growth
Arcast AS continues developing its financial planning and analysis (FP&A) software and begins user-base expansion.
TRONDHEIM, NORWAY, APRIL 8, 2026 — Today, Norwegian company Arcast AS released a new version of its FP&A software, which has been under relatively quiet development for the past nine years and is now ramping up its activity.
“If you have never heard of Arcast until now, it may be because we just registered Arcast AS with the Brønnøysund Register Centre in March,” says Per Arne Myhren, managing director of Arcast AS. “That said, the Arcast software has been around since 2017 under a different name and the same dedicated development team,” Myhren shares.
What began as a project partnership with a leading European energy company back in 2001 is today a separate commercial product ready for new customers working with financial analysis and economic decision-making. The release of Arcast® software version 26.1 brings important updates for existing users and comes alongside a bigger brand push that includes a major website redesign.
Introducing the Latest Version of the Arcast FP&A Software
The Arcast software exists for finance teams that want to maximize profit without having to run calculations across many separate spreadsheet files with data inconsistencies as a potential pitfall. FP&A software was developed to resolve the inconsistency problem by becoming a single source of truth for project data, economic assumptions, ownership shares, and tax calculations.
Users of the Arcast FP&A software access the same set of underlying company-approved files. When performing financial modeling on their own project data, the software’s calculation engine refers to the latest versions of the companywide source files. A project is the single case or asset being evaluated and where investments, operating costs, revenue, and production profiles are defined.
Users can set up and edit projects directly from the user interface or from spreadsheets. To speed up this process, the latest version of the Arcast FP&A software, version 26.1, includes an import wizard to easily set up new projects based on existing spreadsheets.
“Using the import wizard, a financial analyst could create a portfolio of hundreds of projects and calculate the consolidated results in a matter of minutes,” says Myhren.
On the reporting side, the latest software features a redesigned Summary report that is now more visually informative and structured as a dashboard. As in previous versions, all reports are standardized for quick recognition and easy results comparisons.
