Common questions

Who are these tools built for?

Finance leaders at mid-market companies ($25–75M revenue) with meaningful foreign-currency activity — Directors of FP&A, Controllers, VPs of Finance. If you’ve been told "you own FX risk" and weren’t sure where to start, these are for you.

What’s the difference between the free tools and the paid resources?

Free tools answer a single question quickly — what’s my exposure, how sensitive is my forecast, what moved last quarter. They’re one-shot artifacts.

Paid resources are full workbooks and playbooks you’ll use repeatedly — the Kit you generate every quarter for board prep, the playbook you reference when your CFO asks about hedging policy.

How do these relate to the ParallaxFX platform?

The tools are point-in-time; the platform is continuous. Same underlying engines, but the platform connects to your accounting data and monitors exposure as it changes — no re-running calculators or rebuilding workbooks.

Where do you get the FX rates?

European Central Bank daily reference rates — published every weekday, free, and used as the primary reference by most enterprise treasury platforms. Audit-defensible without a Bloomberg or Refinitiv subscription.

Is a paid resource a subscription?

No. Paid resources are a one-time purchase — buy it once, generate it whenever you need it. The continuous platform is the subscription; the resources are not.
