The problem
Your finance team is drowning in manual work
The platforms are too expensive. The consultants deliver decks, not systems. There's a gap — we fill it.
Your team is buried
Month-end close takes 10–15 days. Controllers spend half their time on data entry instead of analysis.
Platforms are overpriced
Trullion, FloQast, Vic.ai cost $30K–$50K/year and are built for companies twice your size.
Consultants ship decks
Big firms start at $200K and deliver PowerPoint, not working automations in your stack.
Why CFO Catalyst
What we do differently
We build, not advise
Working AI automations deployed in your existing accounting stack. Not strategy decks. Not software licenses. Live agents that process transactions, reconcile accounts, and generate reports.
Chartered-accountant-built & audited.
Every automation is built by someone who understands GAAP, audit trails, and internal controls. Not a developer who Googled accounting terms last week.
ROI in 90 days or less
Our average project pays for itself within 60–90 days through reduced labor costs. We don't take on projects where the math doesn't work.
