DualEntry, the agentic enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform for modern finance teams, has partnered with Drivetrain, an AI-native financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform. The integration is designed to help companies connect accounting operations with financial planning, budgeting and forecasting.
The partnership combines two core areas of the finance function. DualEntry manages accounting, reconciliations and financial reporting, while Drivetrain enables teams to build budgets, forecast performance, analyze variances and model different business scenarios. Historically, these functions have run on separate systems, leaving finance teams to bridge the gap with spreadsheet exports and manual data entry — a workflow that becomes more cumbersome as companies scale.
Under the integration, companies can use financial data from DualEntry within Drivetrain's planning and reporting workflows. This reduces the need to manually transfer accounting information between systems and keeps accounting and FP&A processes connected. For finance teams, keeping plans tied to up-to-date books is a persistent challenge: when the two are disconnected, budgets and forecasts can drift away from actual results before discrepancies surface.
“AI is only as good as the context it sees. When the books, the plan and the board story are connected, AI can see the whole business, not fragments of it. DualEntry and Drivetrain give finance teams that complete picture, so they can lead strategy instead of reconciling,” said Alok Goel, co-founder and CEO/CFO of Drivetrain.
“Our vision is a finance team that can run an entire business with a fraction of the manual work required today,” said Benedict Dohmen, co-founder of DualEntry. “That means connecting everything from the general ledger to the forecast. Our partnership with Drivetrain is another step toward making that possible.”
For growing companies, the integration aims to make financial planning more efficient by linking accounting data with FP&A workflows. Finance teams can spend less time preparing financial information and more time analyzing performance and supporting business decisions. The deal also reflects a broader push across finance software to connect systems of record with planning tools — an area worth watching as more vendors work to close the gap between the ledger and the forecast.
