About Abacum
Abacum is the leading Business Planning solution for finance teams to drive performance. By automating reporting, enabling collaboration, and simplifying planning and forecasting, we help finance teams shift from number crunching to driving strategic decisions.
Founded in 2020 by two former CFOs, we’ve grown into a global team of 100+ people across 30+ nationalities. Headquartered in New York, we have offices in Toronto and Barcelona. We’re trusted by industry leaders such as Dish Networks, Strava, BetterUp, Kajabi, JG Wentworth, Abridge, Cortex, and hundreds more.
We have raised over $100m, closing in June 2025 our $60M Series B, led by Scale Venture Partners, with the strong participation of Cathay Innovation, Y Combinator, Atomico, Creandum, and angel operators from Adyen, Zapier, and Twitch.
Our mission is ambitious and we can’t do it alone - join Abacum as we build the future of Business Planning!
You will lead Abacum's US account executive team, taking direct ownership of a group of enterprise sellers as it grows.

You will be close to the deals yourself, stepping into negotiations and executive conversations where your experience moves things forward.
The opportunity is to shape how Abacum sells to finance leaders in the US market. You will build the team, define the habits and methodology it runs on, and bring a point of view on the enterprise performance management market that sharpens how we compete.
