Datarails, the AI finance operating system for the CFO's Office, has announced a native integration with Google Sheets, extending its platform beyond Excel to meet finance teams wherever and however they work. The launch brings the company's governed planning and reporting layer directly into the Google Workspace environment.

Excel has long been the default working environment for financial planning and analysis, while Google Workspace has become the collaboration standard at many organizations — a split that has often left finance and the rest of the business working from different spreadsheet ecosystems. Datarails FinanceOS® has served as the single source of truth for finance teams that build and manage their planning, reporting, and analysis in Excel. With this launch, that same governed source of truth is now available natively to organizations standardized on Google Workspace, including Google Sheets, without requiring finance teams to change how they work.

"Most finance teams face a challenge of scattered spreadsheets reflecting several versions of the truth," said Didi Gurfinkel, Co-founder and CEO of Datarails. "The tool may vary: whether it Excel, or Google Sheets, Powerpoint and LLMs. What doesn't change is that finance teams need a trusted data layer ensuring every AI output is accurate, governed, repeatable and auditable. With Datarails now supporting Google Sheets for finance, they now have the confidence of FinanceOS behind every output."

Inside Google Sheets, finance teams can now build financial documents using Datarails formulas directly in the sheet, supported by a full formula-building panel for managing functions and conditions. Teams can also create Datarails tables and reports natively, add their own custom columns that persist through every data refresh, and apply global filters so that only authorized data appears in a given sheet.

Every number stays live: figures update automatically as the underlying data changes, and any cell — including ones that merely reference a Datarails number — can be drilled into for the detailed records behind it. Questions about where a number came from can therefore be answered without leaving the sheet, a built-in traceability that gives reviewers and auditors a direct path from any headline figure to its underlying records.

Because the integration is native to Google Sheets, teams also gain Datarails' real-time co-editing, presence, and commenting through Sheets itself, allowing multiple people to work in the same connected workbook at once. Any view can be exported as static values when a frozen snapshot is needed.

Datarails says the move reflects a broader principle: the CFO's Office is using the platform to standardize its single source of truth, regardless of the tools an organization relies on — whether Excel or Google Sheets.

"We're not here to pick sides between Excel and Google Sheets," Gurfinkel added. "We just want to make sure finance has the same trusted, governed data no matter what any finance team uses."

With Excel and Google Sheets now both served by the same governed layer, the follow-through to watch is how mixed-tool finance teams put a single source of truth to work across both environments.
