The uncertainty, shocks, and changes faced by organizations across the board over recent years has shone a spotlight on the importance of detailed financial planning and analysis (FP&A). It’s precipitated a change in what tools companies use, too - traditional use of excel spreadsheets doesn’t always cut it in terms of efficiency and ease-of use. FP&A startup Cube is hoping to offer a solution.
Instead of looking to replace the spreadsheet with specialist software, like startups Centage and Limelight are shooting for, Cube’s approach is different. The company is banking on customers looking for a faster, more powerful solution, but one that nevertheless retains the familiarity of excel - and its easy-integration with other areas of business operations. The result is a excel-compatible, spreadsheet bi-directional product with enhanced planning features like automated data consolidation, multi-scenario analysis, and drilldown audit trail capabilities.
Investors are betting on Cube’s approach proving popular. Cube has attracted some impressive funding, and the addressable market is potentially huge; for a relatively young startup, Cube has seen good growth with a unique product.
