"What's our cash balance today?" shouldn't take three hours.
Abstra brings together ERP, bank and spreadsheet, reconciles them and delivers a real-time cash flow, treasury and KPI dashboard. It also distributes the right report, at the right time, on its own.

What cash flow and reporting automation is
Cash flow and reporting automation is the pipeline that connects ERP, banks, spreadsheets and data warehouse, reconciles balances and provisions, and publishes real-time cash, treasury and KPI dashboards, plus distributes management reports on time. With Abstra, orchestration sits above BI: Power BI or Metabase stay; the value is reconciled data before it hits the dashboard.
Proof in cash and reporting
Accurate balance. Report on time.
Cash forecast vs. actuals, without manual spreadsheets
In the Clinicorp case, cash-flow reports come from NetSuite with forecast, daily actuals, provisions and automatic distribution to the finance team.
Bank statements and balances updated daily
At Celcoin, bank statements are collected and consolidated automatically, with balance history and a dashboard for daily financial tracking.
If your cash flow looks like this, we fix it.
“"What's our cash balance?" takes hours, opening several banks and spreadsheets.”
“Every month someone consolidates the management report in Excel by hand, and there is always a mistake.”
“Budget vs. actual is only ready once the month is already over. Too late.”
“I send the same report by email to 10 people every day: 2 to 3 hours just on that.”
Balance and reporting
Real-time balance and reporting, with orchestration above BI.
The cash balance question and the management report come from the same reconciled base. Abstra joins sources, validates discrepancies and feeds dashboard and distribution; the BI you already use stays in place.
Consolidated cash balance for the day
ERP, Open Banking and spreadsheets on the same pipeline. Source mismatches become human review before the number is published.
See processLive treasury dashboard and KPIs
Cash, AP/AR provisions and KPIs updated from reconciled data, not from screenshots or manual paste.
See processManagement report on time
Automatic distribution by email or Slack to whoever needs it, without 2–3 hours a day building attachments.
See processOrchestrates above Power BI / Metabase
Reconciles, enriches and delivers to the DW or BI you already have. Abstra does not replace the dashboard; it ensures the right data before it.
Where to automate first
How the cash dashboard and report distribution work
Budgeting, forecasting, scenarios, reports, KPIs and modeling. Start with the process that consumes the team most.
Corporate budgeting
Budget base kept current without pasting spreadsheets every month.
See processResults forecasting
Cash and results projection from already reconciled sources.
See processScenario analysis
Simulations on the same trusted base as the operational dashboard.
See processManagement reports
Automatic distribution on time, without 2–3 hours a day of sending.
See processKPI analysis
KPIs updated from ERP, bank and DW — not from a screenshot.
See processFinancial modeling
Models that read live operational data, with an audit trail of the source.
See processAbstra vs BI-only, manual spreadsheet and AI chat
What changes when balance and report need reconciled sources before the dashboard.
| Criterion | Abstra | Power BI / Metabase only | Spreadsheet + manual email | Chat / generic AI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source reconciliation | ERP, bank and spreadsheet before publishing | Assumes clean data in the DW | Manual paste, recurring errors | Does not connect production systems |
| Real-time balance | Consolidated multi-bank and multi-entity | Depends on refresh and ETL | Hours opening statements | Answer with no source trail |
| Report distribution | Scheduled email/Slack from validated base | Manual export from dashboard | 2–3 hours a day of sending | Out of scope |
| Exceptions | Mismatch becomes human task with evidence | Discovered on dashboard later | Ad hoc fix in Excel | Hallucination or stale number |
| Best for | Treasury/FP&A that must orchestrate sources and feed BI | Visualization when the DW is already right | Small operation, few sources | One-off question, no audit |

Beyond named cases
Real cash and FP&A patterns
Multi-company treasury
Real-time and projected cash dashboard, syncing AP/AR from the ERP and balances from two banks via API.
Events / ticketing group
Financial hub that imports multi-bank statements (Open Banking), reconciles and classifies them for multi-company FP&A.
FP&A / holding company
Monthly budget vs. actual with variance analysis and insights, distributed by email.
Logistics / real estate
Chat KPI assistant querying BI/DW in seconds, plus a delinquency dashboard with aging.
Cash flow needs to connect ERP and banks, reconcile before publishing, distribute reports on time and leave a source trail. An AI chat does not replace a reconciled statement.
Why not generic AI?Frequently asked questions
Do you replace Power BI or Metabase?+
No. Abstra orchestrates sources, reconciles and feeds the dashboard/report. BI stays; the value is the right data at the right time.
How does real-time cash balance work?+
The pipeline joins ERP, Open Banking and spreadsheets, reconciles discrepancies and publishes the consolidated view to the dashboard or BI. Exceptions become human review before the number reaches leadership.
Does it support multi-company / multi tax ID?+
Yes. Group consolidation with isolation and an audit trail per entity, with ERP and bank data on the same pipeline.
How do you avoid wrong numbers in the report?+
The pipeline reconciles before publishing. Discrepancies between ERP, bank and spreadsheet go to human review.
Is it just an AI assistant that answers balance?+
Answering is the symptom. Cash needs to connect systems, reconcile, schedule distribution and audit the source. AI runs on already validated data, not guesswork.
Do you automate management report sending?+
Yes. Management reports and KPIs can go out on a schedule by email or Slack, from the same reconciled base as the operational dashboard.
Where should we start?+
With the daily cash balance, report distribution or budget vs. actual. Use the processes below to go straight to the detail.
