Cube

Cube makes financial data decision-ready across FP&A tools and workflows, publishing Data Agents for clean governed AI-ready data and Analyst Agents for understanding it.

Working with spreadsheets rather than against them is Cube's founding position, and it addresses why FP&A implementations fail more often than they succeed.

Every FP&A vendor promises to replace the spreadsheet, and finance teams have heard it for twenty years. The reason it keeps not happening is that spreadsheets are genuinely good at the thing finance does most: expressing a calculation nobody anticipated, immediately, without asking anyone.

A planning platform with a rigid model is faster for the reporting that was designed into it and slower for everything else, and everything else is most of what a finance team is asked for. So the platform gets bought, the spreadsheets continue alongside it, and the organisation now maintains both.

Keeping the spreadsheet as the interface while holding the data centrally is a more honest resolution. The analyst works where they are fastest, and the numbers come from a governed source rather than from a file emailed last week.

The governed source is the part that matters. The recurring failure in spreadsheet-based finance is not the formulas but the provenance: three versions of a file, none marked current, each with different figures, and no way to establish which reflects the actual ledger.

Positioning AI agents as making data decision-ready rather than as answering questions is a reasonable framing, since an agent answering from ungoverned data produces confident errors, which in finance reach a board paper before anyone checks.
