What you get

Your actuals reach Abacum from the ledger itself, so budgets, forecasts and headcount plans are built on the same numbers you close on. The monthly ritual of exporting a trial balance and pasting it into the planning model goes away.

Because the data arrives as Light posts it, a re-forecast mid-month looks at where the business actually is, not at where it was the last time somebody remembered to refresh the file.

  • The posted ledger, by entity and by period.
  • Variance against plan without a reconciliation step first.
  • The same set of numbers in the board pack and in the books.
