What Is Abacum?
Abacum is an AI-native FP&A platform built for CFOs and finance teams that need to plan, report, model, and forecast without spreadsheet chaos. It connects your source systems, automates the manual work, and gives your team the speed to lead.
🤖

AI Built Into Everything

AI backsolving, anomaly detection, data cleaning, scenario planning, and forecasting — embedded throughout the platform, not bolted on as an add-on.

🔗

700+ Native Integrations

Connect to your ERP, CRM, HRIS, and data warehouse out of the box. Actuals flow in automatically — no manual extracts, no copy-paste.

Fast Time to Value

Finance-led implementation. No heavy IT project. Teams are live in weeks, not months — with models that reflect how the business actually plans.

📊

Connected Planning

Finance, Sales, Operations, and HR plan on a shared platform. One set of numbers. Real-time visibility across all functions.

🎯

Driver-Based Modelling

Build models on business drivers — headcount, ARR, unit economics — so the plan updates automatically when assumptions change.

📈

Real-Time Reporting

Board packs, variance analysis, and management reporting built in the same platform as the plan — always current, always consistent.

Abacum's Platform. Keansa's Expertise.
Technology alone doesn't transform FP&A. The combination of a modern platform and expert implementation is what makes the difference between a tool that gets used and one that gets abandoned.
What Abacum brings
An AI-native FP&A platform with 700+ integrations, embedded intelligence across the planning cycle, and a track record of fast, finance-led implementation. Rated 4.8/5 on G2 by finance teams.
What Keansa brings
Senior EPM consultants with 50+ implementations across Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations. Platform-agnostic advice, process redesign expertise, and a commitment to staying until the system works — and your team can run it.
Together we help you:
Modernise budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes
Improve collaboration across Finance, Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain

Who This Partnership Is Right For
The Keansa–Abacum combination is particularly strong for organisations with specific planning maturity and growth characteristics.
Characteristic What We See How We Help
Revenue Range $50M – $1B — mid-market organisations past the startup phase but not yet at enterprise EPM scale Right-sized implementation — not over-engineered, not under-built
Current State Planning still heavily spreadsheet-driven; multiple versions of the truth; slow budget cycles Move from fragmented Excel models to a single connected planning environment
Industry Strongest fit in SaaS, professional services, financial services, and high-growth consumer businesses Industry-specific model design — driver-based, metrics-aligned, team-adopted
Team Profile A capable Finance team that wants to spend less time on data and more on insight Abacum eliminates the manual overhead; Keansa builds the model right so the team actually uses it
IT Bandwidth Limited IT capacity — Finance needs to own and manage the planning system Finance-led implementation and administration — IT involvement is minimal and time-bounded
Timeline Need to be live within a quarter — not a 12-month project Abacum's fast deployment model + Keansa's fixed-price structured delivery = live in 6–12 weeks
What to Expect When You Work With Us
A structured, fixed-price engagement designed to get your team live and self-sufficient — fast.
Phase 1 — Discovery & Design (Weeks 1–2)
We map your current planning process, identify the highest-value use cases, define your data sources, and design the model architecture. You know exactly what you're getting before we build anything.
Phase 2 — Build & Integrate (Weeks 3–6)
We build the Abacum models, connect your source systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS), load historical data, and configure the workflows and approval processes your team needs.
Phase 3 — Test & Train (Weeks 7–8)
Parallel run against existing models. User acceptance testing with your Finance team. Training sessions with power users and business partners. Documentation and handover materials.
Phase 4 — Go Live & Stabilise
We stay through your first planning cycle — budget season, forecast run, or board reporting period. We don't disappear at go-live. We're there until it works and your team is confident running it independently.
