What is Drivetrain?
Drivetrain is an FP&A platform for budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning and reporting. Its AI agents build scenarios, update models, explain variances and clean data, and they ask for approval before changing anything.
Drivetrain connects to more than 800 source systems and offers planning, cash flow forecasting, headcount reconciliation and reporting, with budget owners getting access to their own numbers. FP&A users build models with Excel-style formulas and AI. The company lists locations in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Toronto and Bengaluru. Customer data is stored in Frankfurt or Virginia, at the customer's choice.
Drivetrain AI features and use cases
- Builds scenarios and updates modelsScenario, modeling and formula agents build scenarios, update the model and explain every formula, with each change versioned and traceable to its source. FP&A teams answer what-if questions faster and can show how each number was derived.
- Explains budget versus actualsThe budget-versus-actuals agent and the reporting agent explain variances and prepare reports from live data. Controllers spend less time writing monthly commentary by hand and more time with budget owners.
- Cleans and classifies dataData transformation and data classification agents clean messy data, reconcile fields across systems and flag anomalies early. Finance teams plan from consistent numbers instead of fixing exports in spreadsheets every month.
- Brings data into external AI toolsDrivetrain provides live, permission-controlled financial data inside Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants, and the same access rules apply there. The AI never changes a model, report or dataset without asking for approval first.

- Holds SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 and supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on and SCIM provisioning.
