FP&A and advisory reporting

Cube

FP&A that works inside Excel and Google Sheets.

mid

Overview

Finance teams that have built years of work in Excel rarely want to start over in a new tool. Cube works with that rather than against it, putting a central data layer underneath the Excel and Google Sheets they already use.

Actuals sync in from the ledger, so a budget-versus-actual report updates without manual exports. Plans built in a spreadsheet sync back into the platform, where version control, user permissions, and consolidation across entities or sources live. The spreadsheet stays the front end; the platform handles the parts spreadsheets are bad at.

That approach suits teams whose models are genuinely complex and battle-tested in Excel, where moving to a fully native planning tool would mean rebuilding everything. Cube keeps the formulas and adds the structure.

Cube does not publish firm pricing; every tier is quoted by sales after a demo. Third-party sources cite an entry point around $1,250 a month and total annual cost in the tens of thousands, which is worth treating as approximate until you have a quote. There is no free trial.

It connects to NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, and Snowflake, with bi-directional sync to Excel and Google Sheets at the centre. Cube is an internal finance tool for mid-market teams rather than a firm-facing one.

Frequently asked questions

What does Cube do?

Cube is an FP&A platform that sits under Excel and Google Sheets. It pulls actuals from the ledger into a central data layer, pushes plans back out to spreadsheets, and adds version control, consolidation, and reporting. The point is to keep finance teams in the spreadsheet models they already build while removing the manual copy-paste between systems.

How much does Cube cost?

Cube does not publish firm pricing on its site; all tiers are quoted by sales after a demo. Third-party sources have cited entry pricing around $1,250 a month, with total annual cost commonly in the tens of thousands depending on modules and users. Treat those figures as approximate and confirm with a quote. There is no free trial.

What does Cube work with?

Cube connects to ledgers and ERPs including NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage Intacct, plus Salesforce and data warehouses like Snowflake. The defining integration is bi-directional sync with Excel and Google Sheets, so numbers flow both ways between the platform and the spreadsheet.

Who is Cube built for?

In-house FP&A and finance teams at mid-market companies that want planning structure without leaving spreadsheets. It is an internal finance tool rather than something an accounting firm uses to serve clients, though advisory firms whose clients run their own FP&A may work inside it.
