Cube Unveils AI-Powered Collaboration Suite to Transform Business Planning

Cube's Summer Release introduces real-time workflows, interactive reporting, and natural language insights to finally close the collaboration gap in FP&A.

NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's volatile business environment, finance teams are expected to lead with insight, speed, and precision. But too often, they're stuck chasing data across spreadsheets, aligning stakeholders over email, and manually responding to urgent questions that should already be answered.

Cube, the no-code FP&A platform, is eliminating these pain points with its most significant release yet: an AI-powered collaboration suite designed to help finance teams move faster, plan smarter, and align the business in real time.

With new capabilities that integrate directly into Excel, Google Sheets, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Cube's Summer Release turns planning into a dynamic, connected process, bringing execution, analysis, and accountability into a single platform.

"Most strategies don't fail because the ideas are wrong, they fail because teams are misaligned and struggle to execute," said Christina Ross, CEO and founder of Cube. "This release gives finance leaders the power to align every department around a shared reality, with less effort and more impact."

Why It Matters Now

As the role of finance evolves, the gap between strategic intent and operational execution continues to widen:

• Only 33% of finance teams say they can meet rising executive expectations to drive strategic outcomes (CFO Dive, 2024)
• 61% still struggle to access reliable, real-time data to inform decisions (AFP, 2024)

Cube is closing that gap by equipping FP&A teams to deliver more than reports. They deliver clarity, coordination, and confidence.

What's New in the Summer Release

Connected Workflows That Drive Accountability

Assign tasks, collaborate across departments, and track progress all within Cube. Cube Workflows eliminate manual follow-ups and version-control chaos. Finance can now lead cross-functional collaboration in a structured, trackable way directly from their planning environment.

Web-Based Reports That Anyone Can Use

Build reports and templates in Excel or Sheets, then publish them as interactive dashboards without technical skills required. Business partners can drill into variances, adjust headcount plans, or submit forecasts without leaving the Cube Workspace.

Instant Answers via AI in Slack & Teams

Cube's proprietary AI, trained on real finance workflows, lets business users and FP&A teams ask questions in plain English, directly from Slack or Teams. From "How did we perform vs. budget?" to "What's the impact of hiring a new AE?" Cube delivers spreadsheet-ready answers and supporting data on demand.

Built for the Modern Finance Technology Stack

This release coincides with Cube's refreshed brand identity, an updated visual system and voice that reflects the company's mission to help every company hit its numbers.

And while the industry moves toward AI, Cube meets teams where they already work, embracing the power of spreadsheets and communication apps, not forcing another net-new system on employees.

Availability

Cube's AI-powered collaboration features are available today for pilot customers, with general access rolling out in the coming weeks.
