Finance Data for Power BI, Tableau, and Looker | Cube
BI Tools

Finance data your BI tools can stand on.

Cube, the Agentic Finance Layer, delivers clean, decision-ready finance data for BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker, and ships its own: Cube BI for advanced reporting and Cube Boards for custom dashboards, live on the same governed model.

The problem

Why your BI dashboard and board deck show different numbers.

Every finance leader knows the meeting where the BI dashboard and the deck disagree, and the room stops trusting both. Finance teams already spend up to 80% of their time on manual data assembly and reconciliation, and chasing down which number is right is exactly that kind of work.

Two versions of revenue

The dashboard and the deck are built from different pulls, so finance spends the meeting explaining which one to believe.

Ad hoc exports

An analyst pulls a CSV, applies their own mapping, and the file drifts from the model the moment anything changes.

Finance logic rebuilt in SQL

The data team re-creates your chart of accounts from memory, and every rebuild is a fresh chance to diverge.

One model out

How Cube prepares finance data for BI tools.

Cube pulls from your ERP, CRM, HRIS, and data warehouse, then governs everything in one FP&A model. The Data Exporter and Cube's API hand the finished numbers to the stack your dashboards read from.

Load the file or the feed into Tableau, Looker, or Power BI, or into the warehouse that serves them. Cube also reads from hundreds of source systems, your warehouse included, on the way in.

The Data Exporter

Structured CSV export, shaped dimension by dimension.

Pick the options you want for each dimension, preview the shape, and export a structured CSV. Every account is mapped once in Cube, so the file carries the same rollups finance reports from.

Financial integrity

One revenue line in Power BI, the deck, and the spreadsheet.

The dashboard, the deck, and the spreadsheet all read from the same FP&A model, so the meeting starts at the same number on every surface where work happens. Inside Cube, each figure drills to the GL transactions behind it. One 5-star G2 reviewer runs a 180-location operation this way: “all 180 locations report from the same numbers.”

The payoff

Why data teams feed Power BI and Tableau from Cube.

Does it solve my problem?

Dashboards that tie to the deck

The BI dashboard reads the same model as the board deck and the spreadsheet, so one revenue number walks into the meeting.

How is it different?

Governed before it leaves

Mapping, hierarchies, and permissions are applied inside Cube, so downstream tools inherit finance's rules rather than reinventing them.

Can I trust it?

Traceable to the source

Every figure traces to the GL transactions behind it, and a full audit trail records who changed what, and when.

Adoption

Works with the data warehouse and BI stack you already run.

Cube deploys alongside your ERP, your warehouse, and your BI tools. Finance leads the setup, and nothing gets ripped out. Cube is rated 4.5 out of 5 across 144 reviews on G2, where 96% of reviewers rate it 4 stars or higher. One 5-star review: it “combines all the softwares that we need to combine like Netsuite and Tableau.” See how finance teams use it across planning, reporting, and close.

Cube in action

Three ways to get finance data into your BI stack.

One governed model, three ways out. Your BI tools read the export or the API. Cube BI covers the reporting finance wants to own.

Data Exporter

Select options dimension by dimension, preview the shape, and export structured CSV built for your warehouse and BI stack.

Cube's API

Programmatic access to the same governed figures, for the pipelines and downstream systems your data team owns.

Cube BI

Boards and web reports on live data, with the Visualization Agent building widgets from a prompt.

Cube BI

Or skip the export: Cube BI, finance-owned reporting.

Cube ships its own analytics. Cube BI, with Cube Boards and web reports, lives in the Cube Workspace and reads the governed model live, with drilldown, so finance publishes its own dashboards without an export in the loop. One 5-star G2 review describes the result: “We’ve been able to build dashboards that allow us to quickly get to KPIs and value drivers through reliable integrations, and then drill down to the underlying sources and causes.”

A Cube BI Exec Storyboard board: current period revenue and income stat tiles, a revenue by market waterfall, revenue by product pie, revenue by quarter by entity bars with a drill tooltip, and a revenue versus bookings trend, filtered by time, scenario, and currency.

FAQs

finance data for Power BI, Tableau, and Looker

No. Cube does not ship native BI connectors today.
 
Cube feeds your BI stack two ways: the Data Exporter produces structured, dimension-by-dimension CSV files from the Cube Workspace, and Cube's API serves the same governed figures programmatically. Both draw from the one model finance reports from, so what lands in Tableau, Looker, or Power BI ties to every other surface.
 
For finance-owned dashboards, Cube BI ships Boards and web reports built in.
Every account is mapped once in Cube's governed model, where dimensions, hierarchies, and formulas are defined centrally. Exports and API responses carry those rollups with them, so your BI tool inherits finance's structure rather than rebuilding it in SQL.
 
When the mapping changes in Cube, the next export reflects it.
Yes. Data warehouses are native inbound sources for Cube, alongside your ERP, CRM, and HRIS.
 
Cube pulls from the warehouse to build the governed model, and the Data Exporter and API can send finished, decision-ready figures back to the warehouse that feeds your dashboards.
You select the options you want for each dimension, preview the shape of the file, choose the format, and export.
 
Cube delivers a structured CSV via a download link, ready to load into your warehouse or BI tool.
Cube is SOC 2 Type II certified, with role-based access control, cell-level security, SSO through Okta, Microsoft Entra, and Google, and a full audit trail on every change. The CFO sees everything.
 
A VP sees their cost center. An external auditor sees read-only with exec comp redacted. Same source, different access, enforced at the cell level.
Teams often use both. Cube BI and Cube Boards cover finance dashboards natively on the governed model, with live data and no exports at all, while the Data Exporter and Cube's API feed Tableau, Looker, or Power BI when the rest of the company lives there.
A direct warehouse connection gives BI raw tables, which forces the data team to rebuild finance’s chart of accounts, hierarchies, and formulas in SQL, and every rebuild can drift from what finance reports. Cube applies the mapping once, in a model finance owns, then ships finished figures to the warehouse or BI tool.
 
Financial reporting in Power BI, Tableau, or Looker inherits finance’s structure instead of approximating it.
