Michael HeinCo-FounderAbout Basqo
Born out of everyday finance work
Founded by people who built workforce planning in different environments, in VC- and PE-backed companies. Today, companies across the world plan with Basqo.
“As an FP&A manager, I sat down with the People team every quarter to go through the hiring plan. The goal was to update the budget and account for all newly planned salaries. The process was error-prone and took up a lot of time for both teams.”
Michael HeinCo-Founder, BasqoThe journey
From our own problem to a platform for HR and Finance
- 01
The problem
Hiring plan and budget lived in separate spreadsheets. Every change meant reconciling, recalculating and chasing answers.
- 02
50+ conversations
With experts from growing companies. Almost all of them knew the same issue: people data is scattered and rarely consistent.
- 03
Two perspectives
Finance needs costs and forecasts, HR needs positions and structure. Basqo connects both on one data basis.
- 04
Today
ISO/IEC 27001 certified, hosted in Germany, connected to customers' HRIS and ATS.
