Which clients actually make money
Track revenue, cost, and margin across every account and engagement, live, not at month-end.
Utilization and bench risk, before the quarter closes
See billable capacity, bench, and realization as they change, not after the quarter closes.
Practice leads own their utilization
Practice leads plan in the same place you do, so there is one version before the partner meeting.

What holds the model together
Actuals land, so utilization stays current
Abacum connects to NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Snowflake, and BigQuery and pulls actuals continuously. We are the planning layer above your practice-management system, not a replacement for it.

WIP and realization feed the forecast
Bring work in progress and realization into the plan, so aging WIP shows up as a margin problem while you can still bill it, not as a write-off at year end.

Ask why realization moved, get the answer
Abacum Intelligence flags the anomaly, drafts the formula, and explains what changed. Every answer shows the numbers behind it, so you can check the work before you take it to the partners.

Your questions, answered
Answers about planning, onboarding, governance, and more.
Can Abacum plan the firm around utilization and rate?
Yes. Model headcount, utilization, realization and rate as connected drivers, so a change in billable capacity flows straight through to revenue and margin. Practice leads plan in the same model finance does.
Can we see profitability by client and engagement?
Yes. Revenue, cost and margin can be tracked by client, engagement and practice, and refresh from your actuals rather than waiting for a month-end rebuild.
What does Abacum connect to?
Abacum connects to NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Snowflake and BigQuery and pulls actuals continuously. We sit as the planning layer above your practice-management system, not as a replacement for it.
Can Abacum roll up multiple entities and currencies?
Abacum rolls up legal entities and translates currency at FX rates you set. To be clear about the boundary: this is a roll-up, not a statutory consolidation engine. Abacum does not calculate intercompany eliminations.
Does our team have to leave Excel?
No. Abacum has an Excel connector, so people who work in spreadsheets keep working in spreadsheets while the model stays the single source. Abacum Intelligence drafts formulas and explains variances inside the workflow.
What does onboarding involve?
Onboarding is designed to help teams establish connected data, core models, and planning workflows around their operating needs. Most teams go live in about 6 weeks. Timeline depends on your data complexity, number of entities, and workflows involved. Our implementation team will scope specifics with you during onboarding.
How does Abacum support governance?
Permissions, shared workflows, and connected models help finance maintain control over sensitive data and planning processes.
