The verdict in three sentences
A CFO financial dashboard costs between EUR 15,000 and EUR 38,000 in 2026 in Amsterdam, deployed in 6 to 9 weeks. The value leap comes from bank aggregation via PSD2 API: cash is no longer at D+2 on a spreadsheet but near real time, with a 13-week cash forecast. The return is measured in errors avoided and overdrafts anticipated, well beyond the 8 hours/month of consolidation saved.
How much a financial dashboard costs in 2026
The budget depends on the number of connectors (ERP, banks, payroll) and forecast depth. 2026 orders of magnitude in Amsterdam.
| Level | Connectors | Budget | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time cash | ERP + 1 bank (PSD2) | EUR 15,000 - 22,000 | 6 wks |
| Margin + cash steering | ERP + 2-3 banks | EUR 24,000 - 32,000 | 7 - 8 wks |
| Advanced forecast | + payroll + 13-week forecast | EUR 33,000 - 38,000 | 9 wks |
| Maintenance (support) | — | EUR 400 - 900/mo | ongoing |
A senior finance data consultant's daily rate sits between EUR 550 and 750 in 2026.

Mini case study
Marc, CFO of a 220-person industrial mid-cap in Amsterdam, runs cash on a spreadsheet with a 2-day lag, mobilising ~8 hours/month of consolidation, i.e. 96 hours/year (~EUR 7,000 loaded). Above all, two unanticipated overdrafts in 2025 cost ~EUR 12,000 in interest and fees. The dashboard, quoted at EUR 30,000 with EUR 600/month support, removes manual consolidation and anticipates overdrafts. Combined annual saving: ~EUR 19,000, payback in ~20 months.
