Building a board-ready report from scratch is slow. It's one of the biggest drags on a finance team, especially now that ad-hoc report requests are increasing.
The instinct was always to skip the blank page. Start from a template, build on a proven structure, and get to the thinking faster. Right instinct. But in finance, the template came with a tax. To use someone else's format, you bent your business into their model. Their account structure, their drivers, their idea of how the P&L rolls up. You spent the week reshaping your reality to fit their frame, and the shortcut became the work.
So most teams gave up and started from scratch anyway. What we're launching today removes that trade for good.
Introducing AI Spaces
AI Spaces lets you describe the report you need in plain language, or pick a template, and watch a complete Space build in front of you in minutes.
It assembles KPI cards, tables, charts, input tables, and commentary into a finished first draft, in your company colors, ready to edit like anything you built by hand.
It can do this because it reads your business rather than using a generic layout. Abacum Intelligence works from your real data model: your variables, versions, dimensions, and account structure. The template fits itself to you, tailored to your model rather than a format you squeeze yourself into.
And everything it builds stays yours. You review it, edit any block, and decide what ships. The structure follows best practices, ours or your own, without the fussiness of wiring a borrowed format to your data.
How it works
Describe what you need Tell Abacum the report you want ("a CFO review with revenue, gross margin, EBITDA and net burn, a consolidated P&L actuals vs budget, and a departmental cost breakdown"), or start from a template: Financial Reporting, Headcount Planning, OPEX Reporting, or Revenue Operations.
Abacum builds it on your data. Abacum Intelligence assembles the full Space from your real model in your company colors in minutes while you keep working.
Edit anything, it's yours. Every block is fully editable, exactly like a Space you built by hand. You decide what stays and what ships.
Refine before you build (coming soon). Plan mode will let Abacum propose the Space first, so you refine it in a back-and-forth, down to the exact variables, versions, and dimensions, and generate only once it's right.
Your reporting should follow your business
When the business moves fast, the report has to keep up. The mid-quarter question, the flash view minutes after close, and the new cut the board asks for on the spot. The teams that win those moments are the ones who can put a trusted answer on the table while the conversation is still live.
Your reporting should be shaped by your business, not by the tool you build it in. That's what AI Spaces delivers.
