Case Study: Carwow gains visibility and trust with Abacum

Carwow cuts FP&A implementation to 6–8 weeks with Abacum

Carwow, a UK-based B2C company with 650 employees, faced significant challenges as it scaled. Its finance team, led by Director of FP&A Jean-Claude Mustill, was hindered by fragile, time-consuming processes built on complex Excel models. These models were prone to manual errors, slowed decision-making, and lacked transparency, creating a bottleneck for the business. The company needed a new FP&A platform that could deliver accuracy and efficiency while integrating seamlessly into its Google Workspace environment.

The company implemented the Abacum platform, which provided a Google-first compatible solution that was both sophisticated and intuitive. The implementation was completed in just six to eight weeks with outstanding support from the Abacum team. As a result, Carwow established a single source of truth for all financial data, enabling the finance team to produce management accounts and P&Ls much faster and more accurately. This shift fostered more valuable, strategic conversations about business performance, transforming finance from a gatekeeper of numbers into a true partner that drives the business forward.
