The problem it solves

You spend hours each month manually pulling numbers from spreadsheets to compare revenue and expenses across periods. Building the same comparison report over and over eats into time you could spend running the business.

Who it fits

Finance teams or business owners who track revenue and expenses in Google Sheets and need regular period-over-period reports.

How it works

  1. You ask for a report through a chat message
  2. The system pulls revenue and expense data from Google Sheets
  3. It organizes and totals the data by current period, last month, and last year
  4. AI compares the periods and writes a summary
  5. You receive a combined report with the analysis
What you get

Revenue comparisons you never compile by hand

You get a clear comparison of this period against last month and last year, ready to review whenever you check in.

What you get

A combined financial report comparing revenue and expenses across the current period, last month, and last year.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an AI API key such as DeepSeek or OpenAI.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
