Fractional CFOs struggle to collect monthly financial documents from clients on time and manage client reporting across disparate tools.

Existing tools like QuickBooks and Power BI handle accounting and analytics, but there's no lightweight, client-facing portal that centralizes document collection, progress tracking, and AI-generated plain-English summaries for non-finance clients.
