How Abacum helped AgendaPro secure critical funding with FP&A

Reporting at scale

Building automation into their reporting process was crucial to solving the manual reporting roadblock every month.

Expanded planning

The finance team had too many time constraints working in spreadsheets to ever focus on deeper planning projects.

Securing funding

To prepare for expansion financing, the team needed a scalable solution that could quickly map their P&L, unit economics and multi-year forecasts to different models.

Geo segmentation

Before Abacum, AgendaPro sold to each geographical market in the exact same way, due to a lack of time.

With Abacum, they were able to segment their selling: introducing self-service models and tailoring their sales model to fit each market’s unique requirements.

Funding demands

When AgendaPro had a curveball during their risk evaluation stage and needed to prepare another analysis, the team were able to build a new model from scratch in 30 minutes – with all the proper mapping and depth required.

“We were able to create a space in Abacum to easily display all the information we needed to show financiers.”

Revenue planning

The team wanted to drill down into revenue growth by country, by market, by customer segment and identify good and bad performance areas.

“Our industry benchmarks are updated year-on-year in Abacum, tracking our general performance against SaaS averages. We have charts where we can see every month if we are getting closer to the top quartile or industry median.”

Scalable reporting

Before Abacum, the team’s monthly reporting took several intense days to finalize and often had a few manual errors.

“Our monthly reporting has been reduced to 2 days of reporting – the data is always up-to-date.”

Collaborative spaces

Previously, the finance team had to share spreadsheets with each stakeholder, creating a tedious planning process.

“Abacum has fantastic sharing functionality, where you can control what spaces you show to each person or team.”
