Cube FP&A platform with FP&Agents

Directory recordLast verified Compare with othersBuild questions for this vendor

Cube describes its FP&Agents as an autonomous AI workforce for finance: four agent teams for business partnering, planning, analysis and data management, orchestrated by a super agent called Charlie. SourceFP&Agents: Purpose-Built AI Agents for FP&A

Cube says the agents reconcile data, refresh forecasts, explain variances and draft board decks, and that they run on an Agentic Finance Layer so that every figure traces to the source transaction. SourceFP&Agents: Purpose-Built AI Agents for FP&A

It also says agents propose changes to mappings and models for the team to approve, follow the asking user's permissions, and record their activity in the audit trail. SourceFP&Agents: Purpose-Built AI Agents for FP&A

The Cube MCP Server gives external AI tools and customer-built agents read and write access through approvals and the audit trail. SourceFP&Agents: Purpose-Built AI Agents for FP&A

Where it fits

CoE analysis Spreadsheet-centered FP&A for teams that want agents to assemble analysis, forecasts and board materials.

Cube describes the agents both as autonomous and as proposing changes for approval. SourceFP&Agents: Purpose-Built AI Agents for FP&A

Unclear or conflicting statements

Where the sources are unclear or disagree, both statements are shown with their links.

Agent autonomy versus review before changes land (unclear)

Statement A

FP&Agents take on whole jobs and carry them to a finished answer, pulling, reconciling, modeling and drafting autonomously, with read and write access.

cubesoftware.com/ai-agents
FP&Agents description; Charlie steps

Statement B

Agents propose changes to mappings and models, and the team reviews and approves before anything lands.

cubesoftware.com/ai-agents
AI your auditor can live with

The two statements can be read together (agents work autonomously; changes to mappings and models are proposed for approval). Which agent actions take effect without approval is unclear.

Unresolved · Both statements are published as found; CoE draws no inference about which governs.

SOC 1 report

Statement A

The site footer on the security page, which also appears on the pricing page, reads "SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type 2 Certified".

Site footer

Statement B

The assurance section and FAQ of the same security page name a SOC 2 Type II examination by Dansa D'Arata Soucia and do not mention a SOC 1 report.

cubesoftware.com/security
Assurance section; FAQ Is Cube SOC 2 Type II certified?

The footer and the body of the security page read differently. Whether a SOC 1 report exists, and for what period, is not stated in the body.

Questions to ask

For this offering

  • Which FP&Agents actions take effect without approval, and which require the finance team to approve before they land?
  • The pricing page lists the MCP Server for Silver and Gold: what can connected outside tools write back, and through which approvals?
  • Do you have a SOC 1 report, for what period, and do your SOC reports cover the FP&Agents?
  • Which model providers process our data for FP&Agents, and is our data used to train any model?
  • What does the audit trail record for agent queries, answers and publishes, and can we export it?

From the diligence question set

  1. DQ-06 Does each feature suggest or act? Can it create, post, approve or change records, and where is that limit enforced?
  2. DQ-07 Who can change each feature's configuration, prompts, thresholds, data connections or model: your company, our administrators or individual users? Can we restrict and log those changes?
  3. DQ-13 What does the system record for each AI output or action, and can we export and keep those records for as long as we need them?
  4. DQ-14 Does your service auditor's report cover the AI features we would use, for what period, and which controls does it expect us to operate?
  5. DQ-15 Can a reviewer see the sources behind each output, and can someone else re-perform or trace it?
  6. DQ-18 Can a feature reach data or take actions beyond the permissions of the user it works for, and how is it protected against instructions hidden in the documents or data it reads?
  7. DQ-19 How are the AI features priced: included in the subscription, sold as an add-on or higher tier, or metered by use? What is the billing unit?
