Usage-based and hybrid billing models are quickly becoming the default for modern software companies. While this shift gives customers more value-based consumption, it introduces significant complexity for finance teams behind the scenes.

When revenue data is fragmented and pricing logic grows more sophisticated, accounting teams struggle to bill, collect, and recognize revenue accurately. That same data then has to flow to FP&A, who are expected to turn it into reliable forecasts, scenarios, and board-ready narratives.

We’re excited to announce that Tabs and Abacum are closing the gap between revenue data and modern planning by creating systems that are strategically designed to work together.

Tabs as an AI-native revenue platform for modern finance teams gives companies a single system to manage invoicing, collections, usage-based billing, revenue recognition, and revenue reporting – all grounded in contract and usage data.

Abacum takes that trusted revenue data and connects it to the broader financial and operational model, enabling finance teams to plan, forecast, and report with confidence.

Together, Tabs and Abacum deliver an end-to-end finance stack, from order-to-cash through FP&A planning.

What do we deliver together?

Tabs and Abacum is closing the gap between revenue data and modern planning.

Usage-based and complex revenue models, made manageable

Advanced usage-based and hybrid billing models are one of the hardest challenges for finance teams. Tiers, minimums, credits, overages, and add-ons introduce complexity not just in billing and rev rec, but in forecasting and long-term planning, too.

Tabs is built to handle that complexity at the source, from usage ingestion through invoicing and revenue recognition. Abacum then enables FP&A teams to:

• Pull actual usage and revenue data directly from Tabs
• Model how changes in usage, pricing, or packaging impact revenue over time
• Tie revenue scenarios into broader P&L, cash, and headcount plans

Together, Tabs and Abacum help finance teams move from a lack of operational agility to a clear, data-driven understanding of how usage patterns drive revenue and long-term outcomes.

Clean, structured revenue data ready for planning

With Tabs managing order-to-cash and Abacum powering FP&A, finance teams get a connected workflow from contract to forecast.

Tabs ingests contracts and usage data, automates invoicing and collections, and recognizes revenue in real time. That creates a single, auditable source of truth for billing, cash, and revenue.

Abacum then uses that structured data directly in its planning models with a data warehouse integration, so:

• Actuals from Tabs flow into Abacum in a consistent, reliable way
• Revenue by product, customer, region, or usage tier maps cleanly into FP&A dimensions and hierarchies
• Forecasts and scenarios always start from the same numbers accounting and revenue teams trust

As a result, revenue data is planning-ready without the manual work of rebuilding logic in spreadsheets.

Faster closes — and faster re-forecasts

Tabs automates invoicing, collections, and rev rec, so revenue and accounting teams close their books quickly and accurately. When those actuals flow into Abacum, FP&A teams can:

• Refresh forecasts and scenarios as soon as Tabs closes each period
• See how changes in collections or revenue recognition impact cash and runway
• Communicate implications to leadership from a single, consistent view of revenue

Connect real-time revenue data to dynamic planning

As pricing models grow more complex, finance teams need connected finance stacks that keep revenue accurate and planning grounded in reality. Tabs and Abacum are laying the groundwork to make that possible.
