Case Study: Digital Career Institute achieves automated, data-driven FP&A with Abacum

Empowering finance teams with automation and insights

Digital Career Institute (DCI), a Berlin-based tech education company, was struggling with increasingly complex financial processes as it scaled. The finance team relied on Google Sheets for budgeting and forecasting, which led to manual updates, consolidation errors, limited collaboration, and a lack of real-time insights for accurate forecasting and scenario planning. DCI turned to Abacum for an FP&A solution that could better support its growing needs.

Abacum replaced DCI’s fragmented spreadsheet workflows with an automated, centralized platform for budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, and collaborative reporting, including integrated data updates via tools like the Personio connector. As a result, DCI saved up to 2 hours per day, improved forecast accuracy through rolling monthly updates, and strengthened transparency and alignment across departments. With Abacum, the finance team gained more time for strategic analysis and helped make DCI more agile and data-driven.
