Wauvel vs Numeric
Different jobThe short version
Different jobs for different people. Numeric is a close-management platform for an in-house accounting team at a growing company — it makes month-end faster and more reliable. Wauvel is for the owner of a small business: it reads the finished books and tells you what they mean, where cash is heading, and what needs attention.

Numeric calls itself a data platform for finance teams. Its core is the month-end close: checklists, reconciliations, and AI-drafted explanations of what moved between periods (its flux analysis). Customers include companies like Brex, Plaid and Asana, and it connects to NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage Intacct.
Wauvel starts where the close ends. It reads the books — QuickBooks Online, read-only — and turns them into what an owner needs: a live Command Center, a 13-week cash forecast, a scan of the books for mistakes, alerts, a written monthly review, and an AI CFO to ask questions.
Both explain variances, but for different readers: Numeric for the accountant reviewing the close, Wauvel for the owner deciding what to do next.

Common questions
Is Numeric an AI CFO?
No — Numeric is close-management software for accounting teams: reconciliations, variance (flux) analysis and close checklists. An AI CFO like Wauvel reads the finished books for the owner and does a CFO's job with them: explaining the numbers, forecasting cash, and flagging what needs attention.
Do Wauvel and Numeric compete?
Barely. Numeric's buyer is a controller or accounting team at a growing company; Wauvel's is a small-business owner who has no finance team. A company big enough for Numeric usually has people doing what Wauvel does.
How much do they cost?
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. 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. Numeric doesn't publish prices; its pricing page says it quotes based on factors like transaction volume and seats.
