CHICAGO – Sept. 30, 2026 – Sikich, a professional services company specializing in consulting, technology and compliance, today announced its partnership with Datarails, the AI finance operating system for finance teams. Together, the companies will help organizations in digitally regulated industries including life sciences, insurance and legal services to modernize planning, reporting and financial analysis while maintaining the systems and workflows central to their operations.
The partnership brings together Sikich industry, technology and advisory experience with Datarails’ FP&A offering. Datarails applies AI across the reporting and planning cycle, automating consolidation and data refresh, helping teams explain variances and building board and management reporting from live financial data. This enables finance and FP&A teams to spend less time assembling monthly reporting packages and more time on the analysis behind them. Sikich and Datarails will help organizations strengthen forecasting, develop flexible scenarios and manage consolidated planning across increasingly complex business environments.
Finance teams often continue to build and refine models in Excel as their organizations grow, but manual processes, version control issues and disconnected data can limit visibility and make reporting more difficult. Through the partnership, Sikich and Datarails will help clients establish more connected planning processes while preserving Excel as a central part of the finance workflow.
“Organizations need financial planning processes that can evolve with the complexity of their businesses without disrupting the systems and workflows their teams already rely on,” said William Tamulynas, principal, Sikich. “By pairing our industry and technology experience with the AI-driven capabilities of the Datarails platform, we can enable finance teams to eliminate the manual assembly work out of reporting and spend their time on the decisions rather than the deliverable.”
Sikich and Datarails will work together to address the distinct planning and reporting needs of these organizations, from multi-entity and multi-currency operations to frequent reforecasting and increasingly complex financial analysis. The collaboration will also complement enterprise resource planning (ERP) environments, including NetSuite, allowing organizations to strengthen financial planning without replacing established systems of record.
“Sikich understands the pressure finance teams in regulated industries are under to report faster without losing control of the numbers,” said Didi Gurfinkel, CEO and co-founder of Datarails. “FinanceOS gives those teams one governed foundation for their financial and operational data, so they can keep working in Excel while AI works from the same numbers finance already trusts. Together with Sikich, we can help finance leaders spend less time assembling reports and more time shaping the decisions behind them.”
