AI-powered FP&A platform integrated with Microsoft 365 for planning and close automation
Vena builds a financial planning platform anchored in Microsoft Excel and 365, with Java/React backend and SQL Server storage—the stack reflects a pragmatic choice to embed planning workflows into tools finance teams already use daily. Hiring is accelerating (17 roles posted in 30 days) across sales, engineering, and product in roughly equal measure, signaling simultaneous growth in go-to-market and product capability. The project list centers on implementation services (partner readiness, enablement, automation frameworks), suggesting a products-plus-services revenue model where deployment complexity drives consulting attach.
