Having Abacum seamlessly integrated with Sage Intacct has been a game changer for our finance team. We’ve eliminated manual data pulls, reduced reporting errors, and now have the flexibility to build dynamic forecasts and reports in real time. It’s helped us move faster, collaborate better, and make more confident decisions
Mike Hofner
CFO at 9amHealth
The setup was straightforward. We were up and running quickly without the usual complexities of an enterprise tool. Abacum’s team made the whole process seamless.
Mikkel Lauridsen

Looking back at it now, it's easy to say how much better our processes would have been over the past few years had we moved to Abacum sooner.
Brandon Hibbard
