We're on a mission to rethink how people work with financial data
Why did we start Aleph?
Existing FP&A solutions try to replace Excel/Sheets with a web-based tool, only to see people still working within spreadsheets and then copying the results into the tool.
We asked ourselves “what would a spreadsheet-first FP&A tool look like?” No learning a new language. No consultants. The flexibility of spreadsheets, superpowered.
The story behind the name
"The Aleph" is a short story by the Argentine writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges.
In it, Borges describes the Aleph as “a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion."
While Borges' Aleph story may have been fictional, it’s symbolic of what we set out to build and what modern finance—specifically FP&A—has become:
- FP&A sits at the intersection of tons of company-wide data to understand the past, monitor the present, and predict the future
- Aleph ingests, transforms, and surfaces this data, providing FP&A with a 360° into their business—without distortion, overlapping, or confusion
