After more than tripling revenue and growing its customer base 2.5x year-over-year, the AI-native FP&A platform unveils a new approach to AI in finance
New York, United States / Barcelona, Spain - April 9, 2026 - Abacum, the AI-native FP&A platform, today launched Abacum Intelligence, its platform-wide intelligence layer, unveiling a new approach to AI in financial planning for mid-market businesses.
The prevailing industry narrative in the past 12 months has focused on finance teams directing AI agents to handle specific tasks. While competitors have spent the past year bolting AI agents and chatbots onto aging, rigid technology, Abacum argues that this adds burden to a function already buried in operational work. This is the driving force behind the launch of Abacum Intelligence.
Abacum Intelligence: Five Layers of Embedded AI
Abacum Intelligence is not a standalone feature. It is a unified AI layer across the entire platform with the following capabilities:
Context Intelligence - connects financial and operational data across systems. AI agents continuously flag anomalies, auto-classify new accounts, and pull in business signals like deal sentiment and product usage, without manual prompting.
Modeling Intelligence - lets finance teams build and modify models in plain language. Agents handle structural changes (adding entities, currencies, and product lines) and automatically cascade updates without breaking downstream reports.
Narrative Intelligence - generates reports, variance summaries, and performance narratives that adapt to the viewer. Spaces can be created from a single prompt. Business users can ask questions in natural language and receive model-grounded, governed answers.
Scenario Intelligence - powered by Scenario Studio and AI Forecasting, models “What if?” questions in seconds with full transparency into certain assumptions. Supports goal seeking - e.g. "How do we reach $125M without adding headcount?"
Workflow Intelligence - automates budget input collection, approval routing, and cross-team collaboration. Extends to Claude, ChatGPT, and Slack through MCP integration, bringing governed financial intelligence into the tools teams already use.
Built with a customer-first approach
Having tripled its customer base since October 2025 and onboarded 50+ new customers in 2026 so far, 60% of all Abacum customers are already using Abacum Intelligence every day, with 10,000+ agent interactions in the first quarter of this year alone.
Because AI is embedded in the platform, business teams access financial data directly without waiting in the finance queue. A sales leader asks about pipeline conversion in plain language and gets an answer grounded in the governed model. A marketing leader sees her budget by channel, while finance sees the same dollars by vendor, same model, different views. Board members open Abacum, and the performance summary is already generated, personalized to what they need to see. Through MCP integration, this intelligence extends into Claude, ChatGPT, and Slack, bringing governed financial context into the tools teams already use.
Commenting on the launch of Abacum Intelligence, Julio Martínez, Co-Founder and CEO of Abacum, said: "We're not adding AI on top of legacy architecture. We're AI-native. That distinction matters. When AI is woven into every layer of the platform, it delivers the clarity and agility finance teams actually need. AI doesn't need to be overwhelming, but we still see some players cluttering their experience with complexity. We built the opposite: intelligence that's already there, working in the background, anticipating what you need.”
Martínez continues: “The question most businesses are asking is, how do we make finance faster? But the question we should all be asking is, how do we give the entire business clarity? That is a fundamentally different problem, which requires a fundamentally different platform. That platform is Abacum.”
