Cube
Bi-directional FP&A layer for Excel and Sheets with audit-traceable AI outputs
What is Cube?
Cube is an FP&A platform branded as an Agentic Finance Layer that sits across Excel, Google Sheets, PowerPoint, Slack, and AI assistants, syncing clean financial data bi-directionally without replacing those tools. It covers budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, variance analysis, and executive reporting with full traceability back to source transactions. The pitch is that finance-grade AI needs to be audit-traceable, not just 80% accurate.
Accounting, FP&A, billing, spend management, bookkeeping, and finance automation tools.

Use cases to evaluate
Maintaining one bi-directional plan across Excel and Google Sheets users
Driver-based scenario modeling for board and investor scenarios
Variance commentary and reporting decks generated with traceable AI
Syncing actuals from the GL into existing spreadsheet planning models
Fit to evaluate
Mid-market CFOs running mixed Excel and Google Sheets stacks
FP&A managers in SaaS who need investor-grade scenario analysis
Finance teams replacing one-off Anaplan or Adaptive implementations
Controllers wanting AI in decks without losing audit trail
Business fit
Right for you if your FP&A team is split between Excel diehards and Google Sheets users and you need one source of truth that syncs both ways without forcing a tool migration. Skip if you want a single opinionated planning UI like Adaptive or Anaplan, or if your finance team is one person on QuickBooks. Best for $20M-$500M revenue companies where the CFO needs AI in board prep but cannot justify hallucinated numbers. Patented bi-directional sync means edits in a sheet flow back to the platform without breaking the model.
