This past year marked a big chapter in Aleph's story, growing our customer base 5X and reaching milestones that once felt like a distant dream.
Today, hundreds of FP&A teams at top companies like Zapier, Turo, Notion, and Eight Sleep trust and love using Aleph. It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come from what started as a sketch on a whiteboard in a NYC apartment back in 2020.
As proud as we are of what we’ve built so far, we’re even more excited about what’s coming next. In 2025, we’re aiming even higher—and today, we’re giving you a first look.
Redefining FP&A software for an AI-enabled world
AI has taken off in many areas of business, but finance has been slower to adopt it. Their concerns are understandable. In a world where one wrong number can cost millions, trust and accuracy matter more than anything. Finance teams have been curious but cautious, patiently waiting for tools that can be trusted to deliver real value—powerful, yet accurate and auditable.
That's exactly what we're building at Aleph: seamlessly integrating an army of AI agents, assistants, and analysts into your existing data, spreadsheets, and workflows. Our goal is to set the standard for what AI-powered FP&A can achieve, while helping create a new generation of 10X finance professionals.
Our guiding principles that lead the way
Today's announcement isn’t about simply attaching "AI" to our brand—an act that happens so frequently nowadays that it’s hard to separate signal from noise. What we're announcing today involves real, live features. More on that below. But first, we want to share the core principles guiding us as we reshape an entire industry.
Comprehensive data is the backbone of FP&A…and AI
AI is only as good as the data it has access to. Aleph’s founding mission is to create a single source of truth for financial data, and that will never change. Our focus on data is our AI advantage, allowing us to unlock insights from across all of your systems and spreadsheets—where the most relevant data lives.
Build AI for results, not gimmicks
AI’s long-term impact will come from measurable, tangible value. We’re not chasing shiny objects—we’re automating tasks that currently take hours, reducing them to minutes, and turning data into actionable decisions.
AI must be auditable to be actionable
FP&A relies on trust, and black boxes can’t be trusted. Any AI-generated analysis, logic, or recommendation must be transparent and auditable, so finance teams can confidently understand, verify, and act on insights. Great AI doesn't just tell you the answer—it shows you the spreadsheet behind it.
AI will create 10X finance leaders
AI won’t fully understand every nuance of your data, business, and industry. But it will reset the bar for what FP&A teams can do. Using AI to automate mundane tasks will 10X the output and impact of lean, efficient teams.
Great AI isn’t a feature; it powers an end-to-end experience
AI’s potential isn’t realized through standalone features. Winning in AI means seamlessly embedding intelligence across entire workflows, from start to finish. We’re not building for demos—we’re building for daily use, where decisions get made.
Transform entire workflows with end-to-end intelligence
But we have moved beyond principles. Here are some of the ways customers are using AI in Aleph today:
Consolidating, cleaning, and aggregating data 24/7, 365—even while you sleep.
Some of the most practical AI use cases happen quietly behind the scenes, often unnoticed by end users. AI doesn’t always need the spotlight to be the star. Comprehensive and accurate data is the backbone of AI, and Aleph leverages AI behind the scenes to make data cleaner, faster, and more precise.
First, AI-enhanced data models significantly speed up integration, reducing the time needed to sync and set up your systems. What traditionally took weeks or months can now be done in hours—or even minutes. Same-day implementations aren’t just possible; they’re quickly becoming the new standard.
But syncing data quickly is just the beginning. Keeping data clean consumes significant time for most finance teams—and that’s exactly where AI can help the most. Aleph automatically cleans your data behind the scenes, catching issues and suggesting fixes. Instead of manually reviewing thousands of rows each month or accepting messy data as inevitable, your team can quickly review and approve AI-suggested corrections. With cleaner data available sooner, finance teams spend less time fixing errors and more time turning data into useful insights.
Working with your data using natural language
One of AI's greatest impacts at Aleph is empowering every member of the finance team—regardless of their technical background—to quickly and easily get the answers they need. Using natural language, Aleph turns your simple requests into powerful queries, drastically reducing the time spent waiting for data or relying on others.
Whether you're highly technical or just starting your data journey, AI levels the playing field. Non-technical team members instantly become data-savvy, and those already comfortable with data unlock the full power of SQL and pivot tables—without ever writing a line of code. Tasks that used to take hours of manual querying now happen in seconds.
By making powerful data analysis accessible and fast, AI transforms finance teams, giving everyone the tools to act like a seasoned analyst and reach decisions faster than ever before.
Surfacing deep insight on-demand
Automating data cleaning and analysis is simply a means to an end: giving FP&A teams the time and confidence to focus on the strategic work they were hired to do. AI doesn't just help finance professionals get there faster—it expands what's possible, enabling them to tackle analyses and insights that previously weren't feasible or worthwhile because they took too much time or effort.
AI excels at tasks that humans simply aren't built for—like scanning millions of data points in seconds, simultaneously analyzing every possible angle to uncover anomalies, trends, or sources of variance. Work that previously required hours or even days of manual effort now happens instantly.
This speed and scalability open entirely new possibilities for FP&A. With analysis becoming nearly effortless, finance teams can afford to conduct more frequent and more granular reviews. Reducing the time and effort tenfold allows teams to consistently dig deeper, raise standards, and produce more precise insights.
As a result, teams not only save time—they elevate their capabilities, enabling a level of proactive, detailed analysis that would previously have been impractical. This is how AI transforms finance: not by replacing the analyst, but by empowering them to analyze at greater depth and frequency than ever before.
We’re just getting started
We've been quiet about AI until now—but for good reason. AI in finance doesn’t succeed on its own; it requires a strong foundation to be accurate, trustworthy, and auditable. We spent the last five years carefully building this foundation and assembling the right team, so we can move quickly and confidently.
Now, we're all in. We believe AI will fundamentally change how finance teams work—but we can’t do it alone. Just as AI needs a strong foundation, innovation requires working closely with the people who will use it every day. We're lucky to partner with some of the best FP&A teams in the industry, and we're excited to build the future together.
Today is just day one of building in public—and we can't wait to show you what's next.
