Skip the sync. FP&A agents work on the ledger itself, so the forecast is never waiting on a refresh from another system.
Short answer: Aurakore runs FP&A inside an AI-native ERP: one live ledger shared with accounting and CRM, and owned by Aurakore. Cube is a spreadsheet-native FP&A layer that connects to the stack you already have, which makes it fast to deploy if you are keeping that stack.
| Capability | Aurakore | Cube |
|---|---|---|
| Book of record (general ledger & chart of accounts) | Yes: the ledger itself | No: plans over data from your ERP |
| Data source | Live shared ledger and CRM pipeline | Synced from your ERP and spreadsheets |
| Interface | Browser, chat and API, with CSV and XLSX export | Excel and Google Sheets native |
| Spreadsheet add-in | No: no add-in. Export instead | Yes: Excel and Google Sheets both supported |
| Time to deploy | Once finance is running in Aurakore | Yes: fast, connecting to the stack you already run |
| Who builds the analysis | Agents draft it; humans approve before anything posts | Your team builds and maintains the models |
| Budgeting & variance analysis | Native, against the ledger it measures | Built in the spreadsheet, governed centrally |
| Statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) | Yes: per GAAP/IFRS, each figure traceable to its ledger account | Planning output; statutory reporting stays in your ERP |
| Technical accounting (ASC 606, ASC 842, fixed assets) | Yes: native to the ledger | No: handled in your ERP |
| Tax provision (ASC 740) | Yes: native | No: not offered |
| Multi-entity consolidation & eliminations | Yes: native, with FX translation | Consolidated from synced entity data |
| Unified ERP breadth (CRM + finance + legal + HR) | Yes: one platform, one assistant | No: FP&A layer |
Comparison reflects Aurakore's positioning and generally reported characteristics of Cube; a point-in-time reading. Cube is a trademark of Cube Software, Inc.; Aurakore is not affiliated with Cube.
Cube is designed to sit on top of the systems you already run and to keep Excel and Google Sheets as the interface, which makes it quick to stand up and easy on a team that plans in spreadsheets. Aurakore has no spreadsheet add-in and expects to be the system of record rather than a layer above one.
A layer is only as current as its last sync. If you are replacing the ERP anyway, putting FP&A on the ledger removes the sync, the mapping and the drift, and the same platform runs the close, consolidation, revenue recognition, tax, CRM and legal.
Aurakore has no spreadsheet add-in and no general-purpose multi-dimensional modelling engine: there are no workforce, supply-chain or sales-territory planning models. Its planning is finance planning: budgets and variance, cash and liquidity forecasting, burn and runway scenarios, and unit economics, run by agents on the ledger. The capabilities above are built and available today, but Aurakore's finance module is newly shipped, so it has not been through the years of production hardening behind an established platform's equivalent.
Finance reads the ledger directly, so there is no mapping layer and no refresh window.
Revenue forecasts use the CRM pipeline in the same system, not an exported copy.
Burn and runway across base, bull and bear cases, with drivers explained.
Ask in plain language; every figure cites the ledger account behind it.
Aurakore. Rather than syncing an FP&A layer onto your existing stack, it runs FP&A agents inside an AI-native ERP so planning happens on the live ledger itself.
To remove the sync and mapping between an FP&A layer and the source systems, and to have finance, accounting and CRM share one system of record.
No. Aurakore has no spreadsheet add-in. The interface is the browser, chat and API, with CSV and XLSX export. If planning must happen inside Sheets or Excel, Cube is the better fit.
