01 — The problem

You have the data.
You're missing the insight.

Your bookkeeper files returns on time. But when it comes to understanding what the numbers actually mean for your business — you're on your own.

Spreadsheets, not strategy

You have rows and columns of data, but no one translating them into clear next steps.

Insights arrive too late

By the time you spot a cash flow issue or margin erosion, it's already hurting.

CFO expertise is expensive

A qualified CFO costs thousands per month. Most growing businesses can't justify that.

Clients expect instant answers

Whether you advise or run the business, people need clarity now — not after month-end.

The context

South African SMEs power the economy — but the operating environment makes clear financial visibility non-negotiable. A few reference points:

21%

of South Africa's total turnover (2023) came from small businesses — yet they're often the most underserved.

11M+

SMEs are central to employment: millions of livelihoods depend on small business.

<50%

Fewer than half of new small firms survive to year five — weak cash visibility is a recurring theme.

Top risks

Liquidity, debt, and funding pressure remain among the top reasons businesses struggle to scale.

What early users are saying

I finally understand what my accountant has been trying to tell me for years. The early warning signals caught a cash flow issue I would have missed — and I had answers in 60 seconds, in plain English.

07 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Just a trial balance from your accounting system — either as an Excel/CSV file or directly from Xero. We provide a simple template, and our parser also handles most standard formats automatically.

Yes. All data is fully encrypted in transit and at rest. We use read-only integrations, never share your data with third parties, and your financial data is never used to train AI models. Your data belongs to you. Learn more on our Security page.

No. That's the whole point. FinSpec AI translates complex financial metrics into plain English explanations with actionable recommendations. It's designed for business owners, not accountants.

Accounting software (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks) records transactions. FinSpec AI analyzes the output — your trial balance — and tells you what it means: where you're at risk, where you're performing, and what to do next.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your account settings.

No card is required to start your 14-day trial, which gives full Professional access. When the trial ends, choose a paid plan — Starter (R50/month) or Professional (R100/month) — to keep access. There is no free tier.

Currently, we support direct integration with Xero and QuickBooks Online, and you can upload Excel/CSV exports from any other system (Sage, Pastel, FreshBooks, etc.). More direct integrations are coming soon.
