A partnership built on expertise and proven success

This partnership formalizes what has already been a high-trust, high-impact collaboration.
Why Valuemont chose Abacum
Over the past 18 months of collaborating with Abacum, Valuemont has developed a strong conviction about the product, the team, and the company’s direction. Here’s what made Abacum the clear choice for Valuemont as their preferred FP&A platform for mid-market and growth customers:
1. Abacum's hyperfocus on the right customer
Evgeny:
“Abacum’s understanding and focus on the needs of mid-market and growth companies, and their FP&A teams, is top-notch and it is clearly seen in the way the product was developed. You can’t be a ‘planning solution for everyone’, so Abacum specializes and does it beautifully.”
2. A powerful product built for growth companies
Natasha:
“With dozens of Abacum projects under our belt, we never stop being glad about how intuitive, yet powerful, Abacum is for FP&A professionals and other business stakeholders. It’s the sharpest business planning tool purposely built for growth companies that we’ve tried so far, and we’ve seen much in our years on the job. Definitely raising the bar in the planning automation space.”
3. A team that’s both AI-native and human-native
Evgeny:
“If it’s true that 80% of a planning tool’s success lies with the team behind it, you’re in the right place with Abacum. The team is young, hungry, entrepreneurial, and agile – something rare for such seasoned FP&A and planning experts. Abacum is AI-native, yes, but also very ‘human-native’ in the way they treat their customers and partners.”
4. Strong market momentum
Natasha:
“Considering that we’ve been looking for an FP&A tool of our choice for mid-market and growth businesses, going with Abacum is a no-brainer. There’s clearly momentum here – for us as a partner, for Abacum, and for the entire planning market that Abacum disrupts as we speak. We wish them groundbreaking success and are here to contribute to and benefit from it for our customers!”
Looking ahead
We are proud to formally partner with Valuemont and deepen our joint commitment to transforming how high-growth companies plan, forecast, and make decisions. With shared values, complementary expertise, and proven delivery success, this partnership will accelerate value for customers worldwide.
Welcome, Valuemont. The next wave of FP&A is here and we’re riding it together.
