Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Logica is a financial modeling and FP&A platform for dynamic planning, budgeting and forecasting. It centralizes data, calculations, reports and dashboards into a single environment intended to serve as a single source of truth for performance management and forward-looking analysis. Core use cases described by the company are collaborative budgeting, dynamic forecasting, scenario analysis and performance management, with a drag-and-drop interface for building financial models that can be updated and shared in real time.

The product connects financial logic across budgets, forecasts and scenarios so that changes to assumptions propagate automatically across linked models, and it versions every change so teams can compare plans, scenarios and assumptions over time without duplicating files. Permissions allow department leaders to own their own assumptions and targets while finance retains control of model logic and governance. Logica integrates with accounting and analysis tools to support plan-versus-actual comparison, and provides reporting, dashboards, templates, and a documentation and training library (Logica University, template library).

Founding story

Logica was founded in 2020 by Carissa Castro, co-founder and CEO, and Leandro Castro, co-founder and CPO.

Leandro Castro previously co-founded and led a deep-tech engineering software company that was acquired by Siemens, and became an advisor to Anzu Partners and a member of the Pipeline entrepreneur network.
