Getting started

Where are you starting from?

There's a door for every founder, whether your books are already live, still in a spreadsheet, or not set up at all yet.

You're on Xero, QuickBooks or Sage

Connect read-only in two clicks. Your dashboard is live this afternoon, with every number tracing back to your reconciled books.

You're still on spreadsheets

Or just setting up. We'll get you onto proper books: the right package, a clean chart of accounts, and your spreadsheet migrated across. Then the dashboard goes live.

No real finance function yet

Start with the free readiness check. No connected data needed. It scores where you stand on fundraise-readiness and shows your next step.

Books setup & migration

Still on a spreadsheet? We'll get you onto real books.

A one-off setup: we help you pick the right Xero, Sage or QuickBooks package, build a clean chart of accounts, and migrate your spreadsheet across, delivered under Terramont CFO. Then you land as a live Finnovator client, with numbers that trace to a reconciled source.

DIY
Do it yourself. Take the guided setup and flow straight into Basic once your books are connected. £50 a month, self-serve.
DFY
Done for you. A human gets your books in order from scratch. That's an Essential engagement, which already includes bookkeeping and reconciliations.

The problem

Most founders are flying financially blind.

Your accounting platform records what happened. It doesn't tell you your runway, flag your burn, or get you fundraise-ready. That's a CFO's job, and most founders can't afford one.

Data without insight

Xero and QuickBooks produce accurate records, but raw data isn't a CFO. You can't see burn, runway or readiness without interpretation.

A full-time CFO is unaffordable

A senior CFO costs £150k–£300k a year. Pre-Series A, that's out of reach, so most founders operate with no strategic financial leadership at all.

Fundraising is opaque

Founders approach investors with no investor-ready financials and no clear narrative, and lose deals or take lower valuations as a result.

"Most founders don't know their real cash position until it's too late to act on it."
