finstory.ai

I handle all things growth. Marketing, Branding, Content, Product and Story. 

Let me tell you about 4 things CFOs say about turning numbers into stories:

1. I know the story. I just don’t have time to tell it.
2. We’re stuck building slides instead of driving insight.
3. We close the books, but don’t drive the conversation.
4. The board sees the report, but not the reasoning behind it.

And when the story gets lost, so does the influence.

So we built finstory ai — a financial storytelling tool to help CFOs explain 3 things:

1. What changed?
2. Why it matters?
3. What’s next?

And to our surprise, over 419 people signed up. 

You upload your spreadsheet.
finstory.ai handles the analysis, the narrative, and the visuals.

Numbers alone don’t build trust. Stories do.

And every CFO should have the tools to tell theirs.

This is the storytelling tool CFOs want.

And we want to spend our time helping CFOs turn spreadsheet chaos into narrative clarity in minutes.
