Most growing businesses are behind on modelling & AI and specifically financial clarity or all of these.
Growing businesses often outgrow their highly manual accounting function before they can justify a full-time CFO. Cash visibility slips, monthly numbers arrive late and go untrusted, and nobody has time to build a real forecast that is dynamic and includes scenarios. That’s the gap Finance Intelligence as a Service (FiAS) closes
A fractional CFO, a dedicated FP&A delivery team and AI-powered tools, working together all for one flat monthly subscription so you get the financial clarity of a corporate, without the cost or risk of hiring. Not a report you file away, but a structure built to help you make decisions faster, with numbers you can finally trust.
Two ways we can deploy FiAS in your business
Not every business needs the same level of support, so we deploy FiAS in two different ways and you choose the one that fits where you are right now. Have us build and deliver the models behind your numbers, or entrust your finance function to us. Same capability underneath, the only difference is how much you want to own and how much you want done for you.

FAQ
Which of the two options should we start with?
It depends on what’s missing. If your numbers are late or you have no budget start with FiAS you get the CFO, the FP&A team and the tools together. If your problem is visibility on cash flow, profitability, enterprise value including sceanarios, foreacasting and modelling then FiAS Pro is your best option. A discovery call usually settles it in 30 minutes, we can also explore whether you need team training or other solutions.
Can we change or upgrade partway through?
Yes. Nothing here is locked. You can move from one option to another, or add a second one on top, at any month boundary most clients start with one and layer the others in as they grow. We reprice from the month the change takes effect, so you’re never paying for something you’ve stopped using.
Can we add extra work on top of the subscription?
Yes. Things like a fundraise model, a board deck rebuild, a systems migration or an extra entity can be added as scoped add-ons alongside your monthly subscription. We agree the scope and the fee up front, and it either sits on the invoice for those months or runs as a one-off.
What does it cost, and what's actually included?
FiaS starts at A$4,950 per month, flat fractional CFO time, a dedicated FP&A delivery team and the AI tooling, all in. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices at month end. Where you land above the starting price depends on entity count, transaction volume and reporting cadence. AI for Leaders and the Gen 6 Platform are priced separately, and can be bundled.
Is there a long lock-in contract?
No multi-year lock-in. We ask for an initial period long enough to do the work properly typically three months, because the first month is largely clean-up and after that it runs month to month with 30 days’ notice.
How long until we see something useful?
First reporting pack and cash view inside the first 30 days. A working forecast you can steer from usually lands in month two, once the historical data is cleaned and the drivers are agreed with you.
Do you replace our bookkeeper or accountant?
No. We sit above them. Your bookkeeper keeps recording the transactions and your accountant keeps filing we take that data and turn it into decisions, forecasts and board-ready reporting. If the bookkeeping itself is the problem, we’ll tell you and help you fix it.
Where does the AI stop and a human start?
AI does the assembly pulling data, updating models, generating packs and dashboards. A qualified finance professional reviews and signs off on everything before it reaches you, and the judgement calls are always human. You get AI speed with accountability attached.
Who owns the models and data?
You do. Every model, dashboard and report we build is yours and leaves with you if we part ways. Your data stays in your systems and is handled under confidentiality it is never used to train anything.
