Figment is the world's leading provider of blockchain infrastructure, with a comprehensive staking solution spanning rewards optimization, reporting, partner integrations, and slashing protection.
Its new VP of Strategic Finance needed to budget, forecast, and report against multiple dimensions, and needed it to be easy, trusted, and flexible.
The tools he evaluated promised power but came with friction: long ramp-up, heavy training, and the expectation of outside consultants to get going.

Ryan Fanter, VP of Strategic Finance
Wide variance between forecast and actuals made it hard to plan and report against the numbers with confidence.
Solutions Figment evaluated required over a month of training per new employee before anyone was productive.
Multi-dimensional budgeting and reporting often meant paying outside consultants before seeing any value.
How cube fixes this
Figment chose Cube for its simplicity over every other tool evaluated. It set up in three weeks, on the NetSuite and Excel stack the team already trusted.
Trace to truth
With Cube connected directly to NetSuite and built on trace-to-transaction trust, Figment's forecasts now land within 2-3% of actuals, down from 15-20%.
Accurate numbers became a foundation the team could plan on.
Patented bi-directional connectivity
Cube's Excel-like simplicity and patented bi-directional spreadsheet connectivity meant new employees ramped in less than a day, versus over a month elsewhere.
Figment got going with no consultants required.
Multi-dimensional planning
Budgeting, forecasting, and reporting against multiple dimensions are now easy, reliable, and flexible, with drill-down into the detail behind every figure.
The team can build out far more detailed reporting.
