Inventing the solo CFO for finance teams

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Cashboard to help small finance teams and solo CFOs manage their company's accounting and financial operations in one place. Our product handles budgeting, bookkeeping, and collaboration, simplifying financial workflows for startups and small businesses that don't have large finance departments.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we both live and work, and where our initial customers and network are. Staying here lets us stay close to users and tap into the local fintech ecosystem.
