Usage-based and hybrid billing models are becoming the norm for modern software companies. That shift is great for customers, but it can make life harder for finance.
Revenue data lives in multiple systems. Usage and pricing rules grow more complex over time. Revenue recognition needs to keep pace with fast-moving product and sales motions. And FP&A teams are still expected to turn all of that into clean forecasts, scenario plans, and board-ready narratives.
That is why Abacum is partnering with Tabs.
Tabs is the AI-native revenue platform for modern finance teams. Tabs gives companies a single place to handle invoicing, collections, revenue recognition, and revenue reporting. Abacum takes that revenue data and connects it to the rest of your financial and operational model so you can plan, forecast, and report with confidence.
Together, Abacum and Tabs give finance teams an end-to-end stack from order to cash to planning.
Why revenue data is the missing link in modern planning
Most finance teams already know the pain.
Revenue data is scattered across CRM systems, billing tools, payment processors, and the general ledger.
Usage-based contracts include tiers, minimums, ramps, credits, and add-ons that rarely live in one clean system.
FP&A teams export data to spreadsheets, rebuild logic offline, and reconcile numbers by hand just to make forecasts usable.
The result is a persistent time lag between what is actually happening in billing and collections and what shows up in forecasts and scenarios. By the time the data is clean enough to trust, the business has already moved on.
Abacum and Tabs are closing that gap.
What Tabs and Abacum deliver together
With Tabs managing order-to-cash and Abacum powering FP&A, finance teams get a connected workflow from contract to forecast.
Clean, structured revenue data that flows directly into planning
Tabs ingests contracts and usage data, automates invoicing and collections, and recognizes revenue in real time. This creates a single source of truth for billings, cash, and revenue.
Abacum uses that structured revenue data as an input to your planning model, so:
Actuals from Tabs land in Abacum in a consistent, auditable way
Revenue by product, customer, region, or usage tier maps directly to FP&A dimensions and hierarchies
Forecasts and scenarios always start from the same revenue numbers that accounting teams trust
No more rebuilding revenue logic in spreadsheets to make it usable for planning.
Usage-based billing and complex revenue models made manageable
Advanced usage-based and hybrid billing models introduce real complexity for finance teams. Tiers, minimums, overages, credits, and add-ons affect both how revenue is billed and how it should be forecasted.
Tabs supports advanced usage ingestion, billing, and revenue recognition for these models. Abacum then:
Pulls actual usage and billings from Tabs
Models how changes in usage, pricing, and packaging affect revenue over time
Ties revenue scenarios directly into broader P&L, cash, and headcount plans
Together, Tabs and Abacum help finance teams move from “we hope this usage curve is right” to a clear, data-driven view of how usage patterns drive revenue and long-term outcomes.
Faster closes and faster re-forecasts
Tabs helps revenue and accounting teams close the books faster by automating invoicing, collections, and revenue recognition. When those actuals flow directly into Abacum, FP&A no longer waits for month-end reconciliation to start planning.
Instead, finance teams can:
Refresh forecasts and scenarios as soon as each period closes
See how changes in revenue recognition or collections impact cash and runway
Communicate implications to leadership using a single, consistent view of revenue
Close the books faster, then immediately see what that means for the future of the business.
One finance stack that speaks the same language
Tabs integrates with CRMs, tax tools, payment platforms, and general ledgers. Abacum connects across financial and operational systems to consolidate data for planning and reporting.
Together, Tabs and Abacum provide:
A unified view of contracts, billings, revenue, and cash
A planning environment that reflects the real structure of your business
Alignment between accounting, revenue operations, and FP&A around a shared set of numbers
That alignment matters most when the business changes and finance teams need to respond quickly, confidently, and without rebuilding models from scratch.
From billing execution to strategic planning, without the gaps
Modern finance teams cannot afford disconnected systems between how revenue is billed and how the business is planned. As usage-based and hybrid models continue to evolve, the ability to connect order-to-cash data directly into FP&A becomes a strategic advantage.
By partnering together, Abacum and Tabs give finance teams a foundation they can trust, from contract and usage data through forecasting, scenarios, and long-range planning. The result is less time spent reconciling numbers and more time helping the business understand what is happening and what comes next.
