Auxilius
R&D accrual automation, investigator spend intelligence, and dynamic forecasting for clinical trial budgeting in biopharma.
Overview
Auxilius is an R&D finance and accounting platform built for biopharma companies. It covers clinical trial budgets, forecasts, and accruals within a single integrated environment, replacing manual, spreadsheet-based processes with automated workflows. The platform is trusted by over 90 biopharma organizations, ranging from emerging biotechs to top-20 pharma companies, and has been tested and validated by all four of the major audit firms.

The platform is designed to interface with tools already in use at biopharma organizations, eliminating the manual, Excel-based processes that typically sit between those systems.
