The questions your AI CFO answers.
- 01
Am I making money?
Revenue, costs, and profit — beside last month and last quarter.
- 02
Where is my cash actually going?
The cash tied up in unpaid invoices, inventory, and slow payers — in dollars.
- 03
Better or worse than last month?
Every number next to the prior period, with the change called out.
- 04
What should I do this month?
Up to three moves worth making this month.
- 05
What should I ask my accountant?
A short list of questions worth bringing to your CPA.
- 06
Something you can actually share.
A clean, unbranded PDF to email your accountant or investor.
Set it once. It runs 24/7.
A CFO you have to remember to check is a CFO you'll forget. Wauvel works in the background — watching your numbers, catching what's off, and only reaching out when something actually needs you.
Alerts that come to you
Set your thresholds once; get pinged the moment one trips — no logging in to check.
A standing eye on the business
The books scan, letters read for you, and a nudge before renewals and I-9s.
Reports that run themselves — where you already look
The monthly review, a daily workbook, and digests — sent to your inbox, Slack, or Teams.

CFO-level work at two companies, both through an acquisition, then the same read for small businesses. Wauvel is that read, every month — and if a number doesn't make sense, you'll hear back from a human.
See the full background on LinkedIn →I've spent my career in finance: CFO-level work at two companies, both through an acquisition, and, as founder of WorkChores, the same analysis for small businesses across a lot of industries.
It's the same job every time: read a company's numbers and turn them into a decision. Do enough of them and the patterns get familiar: the profitable business quietly short on cash, the margin slipping under growth, the one customer who's really the whole risk. Wauvel is that read, handed to you every month.
I built it to be a report I'd put my name on: calculated straight from your books, written in my method (not a generic AI prompt), and every line yours to edit.
If something in your report doesn't make sense, email hello@wauvel.com. You'll hear back from a human.

Questions, answered.
How much does Wauvel cost?
You start with a 14-day free trial. No card to begin, nothing charged, and if you do nothing when it ends the trial simply stops. After that there is one plan, everything included. Wauvel CFO ($99/mo, or $990/yr) is your whole finance function: unlimited reports, the live dashboard, a 13-week cash forecast, books watch-outs, alerts to email, Slack, or Teams, and an AI CFO that remembers your business month to month and that you can ask anything. Annual billing is two months free, and you can cancel anytime.
How does the free trial work?
Pick a plan and you're straight into a 14-day trial of the full product — no card, nothing to cancel. Your trial end date is shown in your account, and when it arrives the trial just stops unless you add a card to carry on. You can't be charged for forgetting.
Do I need QuickBooks to use Wauvel?
No, but it's the better way in. Connect QuickBooks Online and you get the whole thing: the live Command Center, the 13-week cash forecast, alerts and the books scan, all kept current on their own. Without QuickBooks you can upload your P&L and balance sheet (monthly, since January of last year), plus your A/R and A/P aging, and get the written review. Either way we handle the messy line items most small-business books have.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes to connect QuickBooks — you sign in at Intuit and pick your company. Your numbers are on screen straight away, and from then on they stay current on their own. The monthly written review is built to be read in ten minutes.
Can I get reports automatically, on a schedule?
Yes. Wauvel can generate reports on the cadence you choose (daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom schedule) and deliver them on their own. The full monthly review runs when your books close; lighter daily or weekly digests keep cash, invoices, receivables, and runway in front of you between reviews.
Does Wauvel work with Slack or Microsoft Teams?
Yes, both. Connect Slack or Teams and your reports and scheduled digests post straight to the channel you choose, so your numbers land where your team already works, not just your inbox. Send to email, Slack, Teams, or any combination.
Is my financial data secure?
Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and only your account can see them. The AI that reads your statements is Claude, whose terms forbid training on your data, and your name and business never reach the model. We never sell or share your data. Full detail is on our security page.
Is Wauvel actively maintained?
Yes. We ship improvements every week — new reports, integrations, and security hardening — with no roadmap theater. Every change is dated on the public changelog.
Is Wauvel a replacement for an accountant or CFO?
No. A Wauvel report is a starting point for decisions, not professional financial, tax, or accounting advice. Material decisions should be reviewed with a qualified CPA or advisor.
