FP&A teams are only as fast as the data feeding them. For businesses managing multiple entities, currencies, and legal structures, that data too often lives in a separate system - one that requires manual exports, spreadsheet manipulation, and a small systems project just to get actuals into a planning tool.
That's the gap we're closing. Today, we're excited to announce our strategic partnership with AccountsIQ, the cloud accounting and consolidation platform built for multi-entity, multi-currency mid-market organizations. Together, we're creating a unified finance workflow from record to report to plan - where actuals flow automatically from AccountsIQ into Abacum, and finance teams can spend less time moving data and more time using it.
A Finance Stack Built for Mid-Market Complexity
Growing businesses operating across multiple entities face a particular challenge: their accounting infrastructure has to handle multi-currency consolidation, intercompany reconciliation, and group reporting - before FP&A can even begin. AccountsIQ was purpose-built for exactly this complexity, serving 35,000+ users across 85+ countries with native multi-entity consolidation, built-in FX conversion across GBP, USD, EUR and more, and an intercompany matrix that handles debtor/creditor reconciliation across entities.
For Abacum, this is a natural fit. Our platform is designed to sit on top of clean, consolidated actuals and turn them into driver-based planning, scenario modelling, and always-on reporting. One of the most common friction points we hear about from finance teams — particularly those at PE-backed companies, investment banks, and scaling international businesses — is the manual handoff between the accounting system and their FP&A layer. This partnership removes it.
What This Means in Practice
With the AccountsIQ integration, actuals booked and consolidated in AccountsIQ flow directly into Abacum without manual re-keying or custom ETL work. Finance teams get Abacum's planning and reporting layer built on top of AccountsIQ's clean, multi-entity actuals, with FX already converted and intercompany transactions already reconciled.
This is particularly powerful for Abacum's Roll Ups use case: consolidating multi-entity financials in real time, without spreadsheets. AccountsIQ's native consolidation structure is the ideal data source for that kind of group-level planning.
The result is a faster close-to-forecast cycle, without adding headcount or a systems integration project.
Already Working for GP Bullhound
GP Bullhound, a global technology-focused investment bank with offices across the UK, US, and Europe, is already putting the combined platform to work. AccountsIQ's integrations team built the Abacum connector specifically for GP Bullhound's multi-entity structure, giving their finance team automated data flows where manual uploads used to be.
Ben Ahchinkow, Finance Analyst at GP Bullhound:
"It wouldn't be possible to do our reporting effectively without what AccountsIQ can offer. The consolidation features are pretty seamless with the FX conversions and the intercompany — and the integration with Abacum means our data gets into the FP&A system automatically instead of through manual uploads."

Who This Is For
This partnership is designed for CFOs and FP&A leaders at growing, multi-entity, multi-currency businesses who have outgrown spreadsheet-based consolidation and want their planning layer connected directly to source-of-truth accounting data. If your finance team is spending time on manual exports, version reconciliation, or trying to keep a group consolidation model up to date in Excel — this is the stack that replaces all of that.
Industries we're already seeing strong demand from include SaaS, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, and investment management.
TJ Dhadwar, Partnerships Manager at Abacum said, “At Abacum, we focus on turning financial data into real-time decision-making by replacing spreadsheets with scalable planning and empowering finance teams to lead businesses. Our new strategic partnership with AccountsIQ is the next step in creating a unified finance workflow from record to report to plan, with actuals flowing automatically from AccountsIQ into our platform, removing the manual export/import step that usually breaks FP&A workflows.”
Darren Cran, CEO of AccountsIQ, added, “Our strategic partnership with Abacum comes at the height of the AI-powered finance evolution in the UK and has extended AccountsIQ’s value beyond accounting to support strategic planning and better business decision-making into strategic planning.
“For our multi-entity customers, consolidated actuals, already reconciled, FX-converted and rolled up through AccountsIQ, now flow directly into Abacum for planning, forecasting and reporting, helping them scale with confidence.
“With Abacum, we have established a partner ecosystem delivering a best-in-class finance stack. Following this new partnership, we plan to continue to help international businesses get clean, consolidated numbers out of complex, multi-entity operations and get those numbers into the hands of FP&A faster.”
