Juliomartinez··on Launch HN: Abacum (YC W21) – Easy collaboration and reporting for finance teams
Hi Jevan, thanks so much for your interest! We'll reach out :-)

Thanks! We agree with you. It's about finding the right level of flexibility for the stage of your business.

From what I understand, workiva is an awesome product focused on the data preparation phase of analysis and reporting. We focus on the next part in the process - modeling, analysing and forecasting, using tools made specifically for FP&A teams

From what I understand, Golayer is a great product built on top of your existing google sheet or excel with collaboration happening around a spreadsheet. We approach things differently at Abacum, offering a native experience that scales with your business, where collaboration happens within a platform full of Abacum tables, embedded excels, supporting screenshots, new forecasts, etc.

From what we understand, Jirav is a great player with an emphasis on driver-based models owned and operated by a single person. Abacum was built with collaboration at the core and we make it easy to include more voices in the planning process, leading to a better view of your business in our view.

Thanks! Copying the response from a similar question below

We serve a broad range of customers, Series-A to public, so the price paid can vary quite a lot. We calculate it based on a function of complexity, modules, seats, support needed, etc.

Happy to have a deeper conversation and/or demo if you're interested! Drop us a note and mention HN-> Sales@Abacum.io

Good point. We don't mean to come across as underhanded.

Our customers use Abacum to report their financials to their investors, which include the logos in this list. We should be more precise with the copy in this section!

The name comes from a play on Abacus, the calculating tool from ancient times.

In latin languages Abacum is pronounced differently, but I can also see how that doesn't matter in some markets. Who knows, maybe this will make us more memorable...

Thanks! We really appreciate the positive words. We've both faced this problem before and set out to build what we always wanted.

Yes self-service is a challenge. It really depends on how complicated the model and different data sources a customer uses are. We have a 7 star FP&A Ops team to help customers get started and show them what they can manage on their own. That area is growing day by day!
