Abacum connects to Snowflake, BigQuery, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Xero, Salesforce, Stripe, Chargebee, and payroll systems including ADP, Workday and Rippling. Connections run continuously rather than as nightly batches, so actuals update through the month rather than only at close. Coverage is deepest across modern finance stacks, and less common or industry-specific systems may need custom API work.

Abacum plans and reports across multiple legal entities in one model, translating local currencies into your reporting currency at FX rates you set. Group roll-ups, variance analysis and board reporting all work at that level. Abacum is a planning system rather than a statutory consolidation tool, so it does not calculate intercompany eliminations or produce statutory filings.

Every figure in Abacum traces back to the formula and source data behind it. Assumptions are held as named drivers rather than buried in cells, and version history records what changed between plan versions and who changed it. Permissions control who can edit each input, so a reviewer can inspect any number without rebuilding the model.

Yes. Headcount is planned as a driver inside the same model as revenue, so roles, start dates, ramp and fully loaded cost flow straight into margin and cash. Each cost center or entity can own its own inputs, and changes cascade into group reporting without re-keying or a separate workforce planning tool.

Abacum Intelligence drafts formulas, detects anomalies in incoming actuals, and writes first-pass variance explanations. It works inside your existing model rather than as a separate chat tool. Every suggestion shows the formula and the source figures behind it, so an analyst can verify the reasoning before it reaches a board pack.

No. Abacum sits on top of your ERP, data warehouse and payroll systems, reading actuals from them continuously and adding the planning, forecasting and reporting layer above. Your general ledger stays the system of record. Most financial services teams keep NetSuite or Sage Intacct in place and use Abacum for everything downstream of the close.
