Question 1

Answer

Question 2

Why do I need PocketCFO?

Answer

PocketCFO is here to make your life easier by acting as your business’ single source of financial truth and
- seamlessly integrates with your bank so no manual input is needed
- provides real-time cash flow visibility and runway analysis
- offers actionable insights into spending habits to avoid cash-flow problems
- is perfect for first-time founders or seasoned entrepreneurs and caters to all levels of financial literacy.

Question 3

How is PocketCFO different from Quickbooks, Sage or Xero?

Answer

While your accounting software tracks income and expenses, PocketCFO aggregates your data, analyzes spending trends and in return forecasts projections to optimize your business practices. Through our user research, we have calculated that on average each founder spends about 3-4 weeks each year manually inputting data into spreadsheets to determine cash flow, as accounting software does not provide these services. We think this is ridiculous and you should have this time to grow your business, so we are here to solve this problem by supplying founders the insights and data they need to make informed business decisions.
